I can't really think of a weak argument against God, but I guess one candidate would be characterising God as negative on the strength of the Bible; though it's intuitively/emotionally appealing, logically it's just as susceptible to bias and cherry picking as when Christians do it in the opposite direction; demonisation/devaluation vs the halo effect/idealisation. But I don't see much way around that - on either side of the fence - because in both cases it's based on an interpretation of the Bible that emphasises some things and de-emphasises others but if it was approached completely objectively, taking it at face value and giving every statement equal weight, it appears to me that it would be impossible and would just come out as one big, disjointed, contradictory mess. In other words it seems to me necessary to 'interpret' it because of this, but since there's nothing to say any one interpretation is better than another... whether Christian vs atheist or Christian schism vs Christian schism... the whole endeavour seems pointless.
