The bible is quite the very least one could imagine. That it brings your "personal belief" somewhat in line with the "personal beliefs" of others equally as susceptible to wish thinking and comfort seeking as you does not change the fact that everything in the bible you believe is merely your personal belief unrooted only in scraps of paper and unrooted in the substances any substance.
I possess the a body of knowledge accummulated through the only structure of learning mankind ever devised which includes systematic proceedures for verification of its own results and the attenuation of the effects of personal biases and wishful thinking. Amongst the the things it verified is the falsity of your bible, and amongst the things it attenuated is the wishful thinking that some crazed illiterate Jewish apocalytic preacher squashed by the Romans like a bug somehow has the power to watch over me.
