You obviously didn't understand what it was I was trying to get across.
I guess I'll get over it, like I always do when theists make blatant mistakes...
Then you're making an even worse argument. A book about God can't be used to prove God? That's like saying you can't use a math book to prove math, or you can't use a genetics textbook to prove evolution.
Now, you can't say, "The Bible says God exists, so therefore God exists", because then you're assuming the Bible is true, which isn't a valid assumption in this setting. But suppose that the Bible actually contained a fantastic, valid, completely true and convincing argument that God existed. Would you reject this argument merely because it is located in the pages of the Bible?
