The question that makes fundies hostile

[Mystical]

If it's not true then why should I believe God is real? Why would you believe the OT over The NT.

There's reasons to believe god is real. The possibility is not impossible. Hence I'm an agnostic. I'm still searching for that possibility because frankly: the thought of this life being all there is, is disappointing. I understand your hesitation but if I were you I wouldn't accept the Bible as the word of god for all the security in the world. Its just wrong.

Who said history is true, most of ancient history is assumption from little evidence.

There is proof out there, though. I showed you some and you dismissed it without adequate basis because it doesn't align with what you think you know.

We're guided by God and see the truth of scriptures, at least those who will accept the truth, regardless as to what we think of it.

From what I can ascertain, you see social observations and commentary that may be quite intuitive. I myself could write a book on how to best handle strife and obstacles, and how to deal with people in a way that can give one fulfillment. Does that mean there is a god who inspired it? No, it just means an intuitive human wrote it.
As for the rest of the Bible, you ignore it at best or uphold it at worst--building up logical fallacies in order to account for the
inequitous contradictions therein.
In the end it comes down to how much of your morality you're willing to compromise, in exchange for the comfortability of the promise of ultimate justice (revenge upon those who do wrong) and hope of an afterlife.
