What are some good checkmate arguments against religion?

The omniscient, omnipotent creator of the universe has the most important message, ever, to communicate to his loved creation. He allegedly really wants us to join him, so he has every reason to make sure we know the truth. He has any method he wants at his disposal to make sure this vital message is communicated, and every reason to want it to be communicated.

So how does he do this?

He appears to one of the most illiterate, barbarian tribes on the planet, talks to a few of them directly. They then wait for centuries (in the case of the OT) to record any of it. And they do it in ancient languages, that he should know would die out, would be edited, mistranslated, subject to copy errors, and manipulation by the powerful.

Anyone here could think of better ways to communicate this vital message.

Titanium plates, stored in a way to preserve their message, in every language spoken or will be spoken (he should know this), would be way better than what allegedly happened. I'm just a human and even I can think of a better way. But again, this is a god that could not defeat a tribe because they used Iron Chariots. So, he's not that Omnipotent.

But no, what we actually have is a set of texts that look an awful lot like every other mythology. And much of it borrowed from Ugarit mythology written about 1000 years before the Bible.

And Christians wonder why we're not impressed with their tiny, tribal, war god. Undecided

I like this so much I quoted it in full thanksROFLOL
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
