Even with an assumption that the concept of the Biblical God is mythology, how can anyone know for certain the current text is anywhere indicative of the views of God from the OT era say 3,500 years ago?
So if I point out that the God of the Bible can't exist, let's say because Genesis is false regarding the creation of the universe, your solution to the dilemma is to claim that the Genesis account is inaccurate? Essentially what you're arguing is that the God of the Bible is real because the definitive text providing knowledge about this character is known to be flawed. I don't think you get how this works.
