I see two problems:
(1) debunking Christianity
I use the historical evidence showing that Judaism and Christianity evolved gradually to debunk the Abrahamic religions. (I'm 90% convinced on this.)
(2) debunking a deity that cares what I do or think.
I use the philosophical arguments to debunk. (I'm 60% convinced on this.)
OK so you're 90% convinced that the Abrahamic stuff is claptrap, but only 60% on the possibility of 'a deity' that cares about your thoughts/actions.
Beyond the Abrahamic contender, what other options are there? The only real contender for a monotheistic view is the one the Jews proposed and we've established that they were talking out of their arses.
Do you want to start going through the list of Polytheistic deities? I think they number around 6000 or so.
