Why believe the bible?

[Silver]

Honestly when we get to that point, we're worshiping a book, and not Jesus.

Worshiping Jesus is worshiping a book. Both are fictional.

Don't get me wrong, Jesus' message is "awesome", but what he had to state was nothing new that humanity didn't already understand at the time. And without Jesus, there is no Christianity. Which is what makes the Christian need to keep Jesus alive through faith a major problem for human progression.
