Without citing the bible, what marks the bible as the one book with God's message?

I'm healthy, happy, and have relatively little worry or fear. In fact, I'm probably as good in all things as I've been in my life. I just got married a few months ago to someone I really love and I'm expecting my first child. Obviously, 0% of this is attributable to my faith in God because I have none and desire none.

Do you know how I know your God doesn't exist? An antitheist like me is happy, fulfilled and wanting for little while thousands of innocent children (many of them too young to even understand faith, many others raised by devout Christian parents) die horribly of starvation and disease every day.

If God existed and was benevolent, those children would have all the comforts and necessities I enjoy.

If God existed and was just, either I'd be just as poorly off as they are, or they'd be just as well off as I am.

If God existed and (as the Bible makes abundantly clear) places belief in himself as the highest priority, they should be well off and I should be the one starving and hopeless.

So, what are we left with? Either we have a God who is crazy and capricious, one who is wicked and possesses a very ironic sense of humor, one who is callously indifferent, or we have no God at all. The God, as depicted in the Bible, is absolutely and inarguably fictional.
