No, not really. We argue by looking at the book as objectively as possible and use logic, you on the other hand, will argue from any position to attempt to answer our findings. Christians don’t look at the book honestly, they defend it no matter what, against all reason and logic.
Quote: I know because God has revealed the truth of scriptures to me, I've asked Him some very serious question about scripture to the point of questioning why they were written as they are. God has answered at times when I wasn't expecting an answer or had even given up on getting an answer. To put the answers in a nutshell for you, God said, I Am the Truth. Meaning He can only give us the truth when it comes to teaching us with the scriptures.
The voice you hear, are thoughts in your head, hopefully. If you are having conversations with yourself, and thinking you are talking to god, something is wrong there. Unless you can have other witnesses to verify the voice that you hear, and can verify that this voice is coming from no known source from earth, then I wouldn’t advice you to say you have had conversations with god. They are thoughts in your head, if you were talking to god, he’d come down to see you, and actually talk to you, not use unreliable thoughts that pop into your head. And, to your final point, for the people that actually use their brains, they would say why are there things that are not true in that book and why do many things contradict each other in that book? There are dozens and dozens of insane stories, that make no sense whatsoever, and we’re supposed to believe them on faith, or delude ourselves to the point of thinking our thoughts, are the voice of god..seriously? How can someone make a logical case that this is the word of god?
