Meh, it might just be that you're wrong, is all?
FWIW, I don't think that the law is particularly good at what it does either - but since we have a different intended outcome and vastly different utility for law, a one-to-one criticism of a god's ontological status on those grounds isn't really possible, nor..for that matter, is the god in question (allegedly, lol) any more or less ignorant of those facts on the ground than we are.
If the purpose of law is to separate the wheat from the chaff, the wheat being those who are at least passingly capable of moderating their actions by reference to law, the chaff being those who are not..regardless of this systems inability to turn chaff into wheat - it succeeds. That a god would knowingly do this, similarly, eliminates any possibility of it's being ignorant in that regard.
If what you want to do is change peoples minds about american jurisprudence, stick to that? There's no reason to pretend that it's an ontological disproof of some silly god.
