God's goodness is observable within the real world, not simply the Bible. During my change from atheism to Christianity, there was a period where I considered myself simply 'Agnostic.' I was taking notice of, and investigating, events and strange phenomena in my life that led me to believe there was a higher power. I began learning lessons from these observations; lessons about life; about friendship; about love; and about how to survive in this world.
It was only after I began discussing the matter with a good Christian friend of mine that I discovered most of what was learning was already a part of Christian teaching. Hence, why I consider myself a Christian for what I follow. And if you think that the Bible is meant to be taken literally/depicts a terrible and cruel God in some way, "then you either haven't read it or haven't understood it..." And that's a quote from Richard Dawkins.
