No historical evidence for exodus, flood, Hebrews living in Egypt in any great number, Hebrews as slaves, Hebrews concurring the city of Ai, and much more.

Quote:the Gospels are the words of Jesus Christ

Yet there seems to be a dearth of evidence for this claim.

Quote:WHY do I believe the Bible? - Because I do.

Well, people can believe things for good reasons and bad reasons. At least you admit your reasons are bad.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
