I mean, you can literally never allow yourself to come to a conclusion that finds any sort of fault with it at all, let alone something as important as Jesus.
Why not? I could change my mind at any time.
If sufficient proof that the Bible is a work of fiction is presented, then I can walk away at any time. It will be unsettling, to be sure, but if I'm believing in NOTHING, then I'm not going to lose anything.
The converse of this is the real problem. You believe in nothing, but if YOU are wrong then you lose it all.
Pascal's Wager is not a proof for the existence of God. But it is food for thought for folks like you who are more on the fence.
