So why would anyone today actually believe ancient ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish religious fairy tales?

yet Christianity spans all races, creeds and man made boundaries.

Christianity is a more marketable form of Judaism. Once St. Paul and others decided to turn most of the OT into metaphors instead of literal stories, the stories transcended Jewish culture. Though I think I can say with almost entire certainty that the original writers did not intend for any of that to happen
