The arguments are convoluted and designed only with the goal of making something "God like" somehow possible, with an obligatory argument from ignorance at the end. All of those arguments have been thoroughly debunked.
My question again, is what makes you think a "God" is even possible, and what is a God beyond a couple of convenient characteristics?
And yes, the OT is total trash I'm afraid, and the jesus story is most likely mostly mythical. Do you believe the Quran is the word of God, that everything in it happened? If not, why not? Do you believe people who say they've been abducted by aliens? You can go talk to people like that right now.
There is no objective, testable evidence for any sort of "God", even if a definition is put forward which means anything at all. And if there was a creator, everything we know points to one that has had no interactions with our reality since the big bang.
So I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree
You are seeing what you want to see, and lowering the bar of evidence required accordingly.
What is it that really makes you believe in Christianity? Because I find it very hard to believe it's due to any of these arguments.
