"I really, really believe it" isn't a good enough reason.
What are you saying exactly? That Jesus and Judas never existed, but were a fabrication in order to parallel Genesis? The Bible has around 40 writers over the period of around 1500 years, yet it dovetails perfectly.
What other "work of literature" can you say the same about?
