Q about arguments for God's existence.

100% this.

I think people have had the claim that the bible should be taken as a factual given hammered into them so much that they forget to actually pause and take stock of the fact that actually, the bible is simply a list of claims.

There are no contemporary accounts of Jesus ever having existed or doing anything remotely like the things claimed in the bible. Not one.

There are accounts written by people who would have known contemporaries of Jesus, such as Paul, for example, and even though the Gospels weren't put into writing until at least twenty-five years after Jesus is thought to have been crucified, scholars almost always assent that kernels of fact can be extracted from them (coupled with Tacitus and Josephus, for example, it's likely Jesus had a brother named James, was baptized by a certain John the Baptist, and suffered crucifixion under Pontius Pilate).
