A lot of these arguments are stawmen of Christianity/Christian people (like the entire OP for example). Sometimes it's best not to bother responding.
If I had a belief I would feel compelled to respond, I would fight my corner knowing that what I was saying was correct. I would definitely not have to use the term strawman to deflect from my views, my argument would be so watertight that nobody could come back with an easy response.
The problem you have is that you know as well as we do that your argument is weak and doesn't hold water. The God that you believe in differs greatly from the God that someone else in the same religion believes in, you are all making it too easy for us atheists to poo poo your ideas.
I suggest religions should get together and come to some kind of arrangement, and not fight against each other, that way you may be able to preserve the way of life you have come to love.
