Very good point. Especially about the fact that not only was the bible written by men, but for them to be correct in their arguments they would have to have really had personal experiences with God.
So, Daystar it comes down to the argument from personal experience, not the argument from scripture. Because to believe the scripture you have to believe that the authors were personally inspired by God. Which of course is absurd considering you haven't personally experienced the authors. You don't know of their personal experiences with 'God'.
How can you trust their personal experiences with 'God' if you haven't personally experienced them?
You weren't there. So you first have to have "faith" in the authors of scripture in order to use scripture as evidence of God.
