Typically this is a Christian argument used against Islam - but I’m actually curious if this is seen as a valid argument from a secular point of view? (Even if it’s not the “best”)
Because essentially it’s “your holy book contradicts the holy book it claims to be endorsed by”, which personally I think I can see working on a secular level, even if you don’t actually believe in the Bible either.

I personally prefer The Magicians (The TV series) than either of the two you mentioned. I like the honesty of how the gods are just evil and fucked up. (Well except that one Human that became a god for a while, and that Demigod child of the Trickster god.)
