Romans 2:15
"[They show that] the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them."
Why would a creator entity intervening in human affairs write the "laws" in the hearts of all men and then supposedly mete out vengeance against those unconvinced by a particular religious tradition?
It doesn't make any sense, morally speaking.
It isn't a convincing moral narrative.

That question has been answered several times here in the last year. I suggest you go back and do some reading.
