GC, you believe in God and in the bible because he revealed himself to you. Like me you had what you consider a first hand experience of the divine.
How then can we expect these atheists to accept God and or the bible based on... Well, based on us telling them ?
It's what God intended, for us to witness to them, think you have the proof they want, I know I don't. It's not my place to prove anything to them only witness. The proving belongs to God that is His job explicitly, or didn't you experience God in this way?

It's his mission to shout as loud as he can for as long as his lungs will hold out. When the noise dies down and he sees that he's the only one still saying anything, he will falsely assume that he has won.
I'm already a winner with God and what He has and will do for me, those outside of His will are the losers, their grand prize is total darkness of life, complete hopeless.

God does not reveal itself to everyone. We can clearly see that god speaks nary a word to anyone except narrow-minded, self-righteous, bigoted, ignorant, megalomaniacal, petty assholes. The reason for this is exactly the same reason that god does not heal amputees.
Why is God suppose to heal amputees?

God has never been hidden, have you searched for Him, looks like you would if you wanted to know. You do not care to know if God's real because that would blow your little party train apart.

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.
