I don't think you can say that the book is without a stance at all. It's the Judaic style to get to the truth by showing all sides of a problem.

Nope. The reality is that humans make up gods.You bought a story someone sold you because the idea of having an after life and a protector is appealing to you. It is not an idea unique to Christianity or Catholics and was an idea and claim that was around in prior polytheism and existed even before the first human writings. It is a product of human ignorance.
