How can someone believe something that isn't precisely defined? WTF is that thing they call a god? Their only defense is faith. Because god hides. Except when you really want to believe it.

The short answer is that the Bible is an ethnocentric Jewish relies fairy tale and people love to believe in those kinds of stories. They also like ethnocentric Arabian religious fairy tales like those in the Koran.

People also like fairy tales that promise them big rewards. The bigger the rewards the more strongly people will believe in the fairy tale. The Bible actually has some stories that illustrate that point.
