I am a bit surprised none of the other theist that frequent this board beyond John 6IX Breezy have commented on this. Perhaps they are busy right now. Maybe none of the rest have a good rebuttal? Yeah that is a friendly challenge :)

To me, as an atheist, this "narrow/selective god" is one of the most powerful reasons I am atheist. As a child I began to question Christianity that my parents were vaguely followers of, (at the time,) because of the whole: "how can this religion be right and all the other ones wrong?" This was later reinforced by realizing all these religions rely on the same kind of evidence, (a book, a few word/thought puzzles, and the fact it is widely practiced/believed in.)

And then later I find out the story of all the major miracles/wrath of the bible was incredibly selectively narrow band of time in this eternal god. And then that the location of all the stories in the bible is incredibly selective in space. (5 percent of the earth's surface, in all of incredibly enormous known universe.)

These thoughts lead me to the conclusion that the various major religion gods are very selective and operate in a very narrow time band/location. If god is eternal, all powerful and everywhere, why is the accounting of god ,(in the bibles, and other holy books,) paint him as so selective?

The rebuttals I expected were along the lines of: "god works in mysterious ways". "God has a plan that is unknown to us," (no kidding, keep up that line of thought!) Ya know, the nearly bullet proof armor theist scholars have built up that can explain any counter evidence, any action, any logic/reasoning flaw. The same nearly bullet proof armor that could be used for any other religion.
