Without the bible what exactly do you have?
Youre whole argument seems to reside in the meaning of what is just a poorly written work of fiction.
Just imagine for a moment that youve never seen or heard of the bible, not an unreasonable thing to ask, most of the people who have ever lived have been/are ignorant of what the bible says, including a lot of people who consider themselves christian, (certainly round this way).
So without your blinkers what do you see?
Why should I imagine that there's no Bible, I think it's unreasonable, just because many people have not seen a Bible or many christians have not read the Bible what does that have to do with me? I do not find the Bible to be a burden, as a matter of fact I find it very rewarding I've learned a considerable amount about God, life, ect. I recieve a great peace from reading scriptures, I can not see any reason to give up something that helps make my life so much better.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
