2. When you start your argument with "God showed him that ..."

I think you ignore most of the rest of what follows.

The problem with "divine inspiration" is that:

Person A says God told them to absolutely do/believe X ... and then
Person B says God told them to absolutely do/believe Z ... and X & Z are entirely OPPOSITE actions/beliefs.

And this happens over, and over, and over.

Religion has its rightful place in the human condition, and needs to know its place. Either that, or God needs to get his message straight.

This is why religion needs to remain deeply personal, and not be inserted into public policy.
