I'm only at Genesis 25 and I already see that Abraham was a ball bag. I haven't found that it doesn't disprove God only that God shows favorites and to hell with everyone else - LITERALLY.
The creation story is rather good for paradoxes as well. God created plants before he created the sun. wtf!? Major issue there. While this doesn't show he is evil, it does put the validity of the bible in question.
Adam and Eve? Well, we know that is all made up. Some Christians try to get around this by saying it is symbolic. The issue is that if Adam and Eve did not eat the apple, there is no such thing as "original sin" and no reason for Jesus to die for us.
Other fun stories include:
Moses and the great escape from Egypt (killing all the first born sons is a bit much)
Noah. Yeah - let's destroy them all.
Sodom. Yeah - let's destroy some of them.
Try to keep count how many people God kills and how many Satan kills as well. It's fun
