Produce the argument in your own words.

One side argues that God used a nation as His tool to punish the reprehensible behavior and actions of another nation.
That seems like an argument that God's morality is relative. What has it got to do with atheists?

...teaching that God is ultimately a product of the human mind. Did anyone teach that heresey then?
Just about every religion teaches that the other guy's god is made up. You beleve that Zeus and Thor are made up, don't you?

Not all apologists are snake-oil salesmen.
Still waiting for you to show us one who isn't.

True, though I would use the appeal to popularity as my (only) valid defense.
Then Islam, Roman Catholicism and Hinduism would all win out over Protestantism.

Moreover, I would argue that many of the other gods are not made up---they are actual demons disguised as God.
That doen't help you. They could say the same about your God - and the claim would be supported by your own scriptures.
