Stories that people wrote about god are never going to convince me that god exists, GC. You must realize that about most of us by now, don’t you? The bible contains nothing but circular reasoning, and the only thing it makes evident is that people believed in a god. Further, if a god does actually exist, I’m certain it’s not the spiteful, murderous egomaniac of the Christian faith.
I see that you do not really wish that God exist, you think the Bible is circular because that's what you want to see. no one has ever shown me anything scripture says that is circular reasoning. If stories about God want convince you then what will because God isn't going to open up heaven and show himself to you in a physical way, He does how ever for in a spiritual way for those who seek Him with an open heart. When all you do is look for things to criticize in the scriptures that is all you will find and you find those things because you can not see the finely woven tapestry which the scriptures are, they are all enter connected and only trust in God will reveal the truths written on this fine tapestry. Like I said I can only point you in a direction, the rest would be up to you and God. Do you really believe you will lose something by searching? I'm not sure how anyone can believe they would lose anything by taking a look.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
