The god of the bible exists

Disclaimer: I agree with my opponent on this issue, but want to test my ability to play Devil's Advocate.It is important to know what we mean by "Bible." By "Bible" I am referring to the Jewish scriptures (the "Old" Testament). This is important for this debate.I will attempt to show: (1) Judaism is the most logical Theistic belief; and (2) the Jewish God exists. Contention 1: The Bible makes a claim that is an impossible hoax to pull off. That claim is the national revelation at Mount Sinai. If God spoke to the Hebrews at Mount Sinai, the God of the Bible exists. God spoke to the Hebrews at Mount Sinai. Therefore, the Biblical God exists. Premise 1 is a necessary truth so in this round I will defend how premise 2 proves God exists. [Moses told the Israelites]: 'Only beware for yourself and greatly beware for your soul, lest you forget the things that your eyes have beheld. Do not remove this memory from your heart all the days of your life. Teach your children and your children's children about the day that you stood before the Lord your God at Horev [Mount Sinai]... God spoke to you from the midst of the fire, you were hearing the sound of words, but you were not seeing a form, only a sound. He told you of His covenant, instructing you to keep the Ten Commandments, and He inscribed them on two stone tablets.' (Deut.4:9-13) 'You have been shown in order to know that God, He is the Supreme Being. There is none besides Him. From heaven he let you hear His voice in order to teach you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words amid the fire.' (Deut. 4:32-36) Moses called all of Israel and said to them: 'Hear, O Israel, the decrees and the ordinances that I speak in your ears today -- learn them, and be careful to perform them. The Lord your God sealed a covenant with us at Horev [Mount Sinai]. Not with our forefathers did God seal this covenant, but with us -- we who are here, all of us alive today. Face to face did God speak with you on the mountain from amid the fire.' (Deut. 5:1-4) The Torah asserts that the entire Jewish nation heard God speak at Sinai, an assertion that has been accepted as part of the Jewish history for well over 3,000 years. The Torah claims: 3,000,000 people heard God himself speak, this is an impossible hoax to pull off. Allow me to demonstrate with a few statements: Last week after I ate supper, I went for a walk through the forest near my house. Suddenly everything was awash in a tremendous light and G-d appeared to me, designated me as His prophet. He told me to announce his revelation to you at this time. Last night while I was eating supper with my family, the room started to suddenly shake and God's booming voice was heard by all of us. He designated me as his prophet and commanded me to announce this revelation. Do you remember what happened 10 minutes ago just as you and I began to debate this topic? Remember how the room began to shake and the ceiling opened the skies, and you and I together heard God's booming voice come down and say "Thou shalt hearken to the voice of Mr.Infidel for he is my prophet!" And then the room went back to normal and we continued to discuss God's existence. You have to remember, right! Scenario 1: Believable? Although this theory could have possibly happened, it does not seem likely but you do not know that I am lying. Would you choose to believe me? Without any evidence, why would you believe me? Scenario 2 may also have happened. If I were to bring my family to confirm the story, it would be a lot more believable than the 1st story. You certainly do not know if I am lying. Would you have enough faith if I were to then say, "God told me to tell you to give me $10,000 for my ministry"? You'd be a fool to do such a thing! Scenario 3 is a lot different because you know the story is true or false because it involves you. The 1st two claims had the possibility of being true. You choose not to accept them because they were unverifiable. However this third scenario is impossible to believe. I'm claiming something that happened to you and that you know did not happen. Therefore, since you did not experience it, you know I am either lying or tell you the truth. I cannot convince you of something you yourself know did not happen. Because of the nature of the revelation of Judaism, we know that it has to be true. On a final note the great Jewish scholar Maimondies writes: "Israel did not believe in Moses, our teacher, on account of the miracles he performed. For when one's faith is based upon miracles, doubt remains in the mind that these miracles may have been done through the occult and witchcraft. What were the grounds of believing him? The revelation on Sinai which we with our own eyes, and heard with our own ears, not having to depend on the testimony of others...(Mishna Torah-Foundations of Torah 8:1) You might inquire about times long past, from the day that God created man on earth, and from one end of heaven to the other: Has there ever been anything like this great thing [The revelation at Mt. Sinai] or has anything like it been heard? Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fires as you have heard and survived? --Deut. 4:32-33 What Moses is saying is that there will never again be a claim of a national revelation. This is a bold claim, which came to pass! Let's summarize 3 primary questions: If Judaism is false and the Biblical God does not exist, why is Judaism the only religion (out of 15,000+) that claims a national revelation, the best of all claims? Why is it that all other religions base themselves on the weak assertion of a personal revelation. If Judaism's claim is indeed an example of a hoax that falsely asserts national revelation, the author just god away with it, why would he predict that no-one else would ever make such a claim? If the Biblical God does not exist, how did this hoax get pulled off without anyone noticing? Thank you! Reference http://www.aish.com...
