Destroy your computer and move into a mud hut, please. I think we're done here.

What would you need to believe that God inspired the books of the bible?

One measly shred of evidence that he exists in the first place would be a start. Really though, the Bible has been thoroughly proven to be full of falsehood and fiction, and once a text is proven false, it pretty well can't be proven true later on.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Really? Then why are you wasting your time as well as everyone else's with your inane babbling? We'll happily wait for your god to defend himself - as soon as he's done giving AIDS to babies, or whatever he's doing right now.
And you - go get a life maybe(?).

I am testifying to the truth that you are a sinner (you are in rebellion against God) like everyone else and out of God's love for you he took your paid your sin debt on the cross. If you repent (change your mind about living your life on your own terms) and put your faith in Him as your lord and savior you can have a rich and fulfilling life with the creator of the universe. Or you can reject Him and pay for your sin for the rest of eternity.

So I am not wasting my time but actually living out my purpose. In fact I have a full and fulfilling life and I am talking to you so that you may know the one who gives an abundant life.

How does God give babies AIDS?

Which brings me to my favorite subject. The trinity turning the sacrifice into a circus trick. God can't die, so noone could die to atone for a sin, god created in the first place.

Make your pick. Either all three are god. Then the sacrifice is pointless and didn't happen because we're dealing with an immortal being. Or the three are seperate Then monotheism is out of the window.
