1) There were over 10,000 originals of the Bible. People wrote down their own accounts of the events and over 10,000 original copies with the same events appearing on multiple accounts. These 10,000 were scattered all over the world yet they all had little or no differences. Yes I know history is always going to be askewed and can never be 100% correct but this Bible is the closest possible to 100% with all of the similarities.
2) Other people and "clues" vouch that the Bible is true. There are other things in history that line up with what is in the Bible. For example, many religions believe in Noah. That is shown in the Bible and they line up with most of what the Bible says. If you want more "proof" go to your pastor or priest and ask them.
3) It's the word of God (I know you don't really believe in Him)
I'm very religious but I don't see why it's such a "hassle".
I think everyone should watch this:

1. Because "Jesus" shared similar characteristics with other religious icons in history, and Christianity is for the most part plagiaristic of the Ancient Egyptian Religion.
2. Like said in 1 and in zeitgeist. Also, remember that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all share the
exact same old testament. Noah's arc is told in the old testament, thus the overlapping stories.
3. Like I said, that can't really be taken as proof because "God" is what we're trying to prove or disprove here.
I wouldn't find religion a "hassle" either if i truly believed in it. If I thought there was even the slightest chance that we're going to go somewhere after we die, then I would probably be in church right now.
Also, I'm glad you're not taking this as me being offensive :cool:.
