Don't bother trying to argue from its own words. Let's see some EVIDENCE, not just claims made within the Bible itself.
Isn't it more rational to recognize that the Bible, like many other sacred books, contains material useful for moral teaching, as well as things that are not helpful?
Isn't it likely that you can derive sound moral lessons from the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Dianetics, the Book of Mormon, the Analects of Confucius, the Avestas, and Mary Baker Eddy's "Science and Health"? Why imagine that only one of them works?
Any book can make the claim that it is unique and special. Indeed, many do. What evidence (actual evidence, not just its own claims) does the Bible possess to justify considering it special?
