Hi, solja. Forgive me for butting in with a small tangent, but something you said inspired me to ask you a question.
Okay, so you believe that the Jesus character in the Bible.2 died and then resurrected to then ascend into heaven, correct? That belief makes you a Christian/theist (e.g. a believer in a personal god). If someone were able to convince you that the the resurrection of Jesus probably never happened, you would cease believing in a personal (Christian) god and instead believe in an impersonal creator deity. That is what you are saying, right?
That implies that belief in a 'god' is not being questioned. The existence of a god is accepted as true and not subject to your self-proclaimed skepticism. My question is: Why not?
