God is a great author to reference. The Bible is filled with enough atrocities and inconsistencies that it remains my number one recommendation for deprogramming Christians.

God told Abraham to kill his son as a test of fealty, then psyched him at the end:

God flooded the entire fucking earth, killing countless innocent people:

God rained sulfur upon a city because they were sucking too much dick, and turned a guy's wife into salt:

Now, you could point out that many of the stories in Genesis, including the Garden of Eden, can actually be traced back to older works, such as the epic of Gilgamesh.

And I would agree, and this further weakens the legitimacy of the Christian mythos.
