Watch me make a strawman of religion:
Christians have sex with watermelons.
Why do they so that? That's bizarre! No wonder they are wrong!
See how that doesn't quite work? Understand what you are argueing against first.

That's like strawman + red herring + poisoning the well + non sequitur combined

Why God hates Women
The Abrahamic religions all do. That's why I understand if a white, straight male is religious but I still don't get why females adopt a doctrine/belief that sees them as inferiors and sometimes property of men.

We can hold up THEIR books, and ask about the contradictions, the errors, the ludicrousness, the incredulity, the different versions, the incorrect translations, the abject impossibilities, the hate, the craven pleadings, the violence, the evil, the stupidity, the immorality, and the fucking cherry picking of scriptures that they will comport to and the ones they won't.
Make them prove their books are holy despite all the above, none of them can !!
I won't advocate smacking any christer up aside the head with their own bible, but there are those among them it would help.

You just have to fall back on "Yahweh is good because he just is, so you just have to give him the benefit of the doubt, no matter what he does.
It may have been Drich or Frodo that said god is good by definition, but then it begs the question of why we think Yahweh is god? His acts, at face value, were horrible, and there is little to no justification for any of it. Instead of claiming his acts were good because he's god, and god is good by definition, why don't we question the idea that he's a god because his actions don't mesh with goodness.

it took a few good men to realize hey they are human like we are only their skin color is different. then the slaves were set free thanks to lincoln. the only reason why there is still racism in the world is because of the bible and the older generations teaching it is okay to be racist because the bible didn't say it was a bad thing. god supposedly created us in his image must hate himself or parts of himself because why is god in the bible to a racist.
