Science Keeps Working

My advice is to read the bible again. But take a step back, imagine you know nothing about it at all, and that you have no external reason to think it's automatically true.

Read it all, not just the nice bits people like to cherry pick. See if from an objective point of view you can come up with an argument that it is (a) moral, as in beneficial to wellbeing, to follow it and (b) that what is described in it, beyond a bit of general history, is really true. Think how you would differentiate between it and Harry potter if you'd never seen either book before.

If you would try that experiment, I'd be a happy dude

Remember, because someone says something, that doesn't mean it's true. Even if lots of people say something, still doesn't mean it's true. If they write something down, doesn't mean it's true. And if it was written down a long time ago, it gets less and less likely to be true without a huge load of external evidence.

Comparing one part of the bible to another to verify it is like comparing one part of Harry potter to another and concluding the characters in it are real because they are consistent and the story links to reality at least in some manner.
