I wonder if it ever occurred to you that you can keep your god belief without the bible? Above I read good arguments for rejecting the bible as any kind of evidence for anything. In your shoes I don't see any reason why you can't concede that and carry on in faith.
Seems to me that if any one decides to believe in God it will not because they stumbled upon the bible and were overwhelmed by its logic and authenticity. If you pray and genuinely feel in the presence of your God when you do, why should you give that up just because you can't justify your belief (to us at least) using the bible. It is your private experience which leads you to accept god belief, why not simply do so as an act of faith without any evidence? Certainly is your choice.
It will be seen as a mark of honesty if you admit as much.
I don't believe I would be able to believe in God without understanding what I am believing in. The main reason for me being a Christian is hearing the Bible explained, the Bible (from your view) may not prove anything, but to me I habe learnt many valuable things. Though on saying that I think I would still be a Christian without a Bible, just not a good one.

You can never truely understand what someone else has experienced, therefore I don't know whether they have or have not experienced an abduction. You have to agree it is hard to understand some ones expeřience without having the same experiences.
So how might we go about finding out whether such claims are true?
Like I just said you can not really prove or disprove it as it is personal experience.
