I disagree this is a question aimed at christians in a christian subset of this forum. So I think I can get away with a specific one

While funny and semi valid (objectively speaking) I find christian brains to immunized and will answer something like:
Because we have the bible.
Because the bible is the word of god.
Because all the prophecies in the bible.

In the end it does not really challenge the christian only kicked it back further. And now you can no longer use generic questions like this you must use something specific to this religion.

This is a dishonest tactic considering that there are only 4 world religions
Christianity
Islam
Buddhism
Hinduism

The rest are minority or variants from these ones.

This mirrors my experience.
After as a enthusiastic christian teen I tried to read the bible for myself I quickly shut it in disgust the contents of the book where really stupid word combinations.

I like to imagine if in the future all the christian literature was destroyed and all future researchers knew was that this christian religion existed and this bible is their holy book. It would be next to impossible to reconstruct modern christieanity from the bible alone. There is far to many

"oh we don't take that story seriously" and "however this next part is super serious and is the foundation of our religion" modern christian folk lore simply has a verbal made up religion and tries to force the bible into supporting this non biblical religion.

The best parts are when a passage literally will go from super serious to not serious in the same sentence.

And the official word for this decanonising of bible passages is named "its an allegory!" and if asked a allegory for what? The christian can never answer.

The entire religion is one big joke, there are bible stories to stupid for the most hardcore 6 day creationists and even these 6 day creationists will say "LOL its only a story LOL".

The most insane thing is however when the Christians who are so strongly indoctrinated into the verbal non biblical religion will literally quote the bible with passages who have the direct and opposite meaning of what they are arguing and it looks something like this:

Christian: Repent! We are not allowed to wear red hats!
Christian quotes the bible: "for whoever of you have not a red hat and green shoes he will be destroyed by the lord god! This is the covenant between the lord god and you that you must always have green shoes and red hats on you, so says the lord god!"
Christian: See the bible itself says you will be destroyed if you wear a red hat

Me: Do you even understand the words that are coming out of your mouth?!

Seriously its like they have some censorship distortion while reading this and from
  "for whoever of you have not a red hat and green shoes he will be destroyed by the lord god! This is the covenant between the lord god and you that you must always have green shoes and red hats on you, so says the lord god!"
it turns into this in the christians head
  "for whoever of you have ... a red hat ------ he will be destroyed by the lord god! This is the covenant between the lord god and you .................. ............. so says the lord god!"
