You'd think a society that was was run by the singular omnipotent, omniscient god would have done things that would have indicated it was. Yahweh however wasn't doing anything different, so he really wasn't any better than all the other gods that were being worshiped around that area.
Israel only obeyed Yahweh when he told them to kill people and steal their land.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
