You say it's bunk. God says we need salvation. Who should I listen to? Who should you listen to?
No, God never said we need salvation. That's what some superstitious ignorant scribes said a few thousand years ago. The Bible reads like heroic fiction because that's exactly what it is. It is no more believable than the "bibles" of other religions. The Bible is nothing more than a book of mythology, reflecting the ignorance, fears, superstitions and prejudices of the times in which it was written.
