I don't know, I guess I was curious because this seems so important to you and I wasn't expecting you to hinge your whole belief system on one ancient book.

I wasn't raised around religion nor have I ever really been around it, so I find it fascinating. My, bad, I guess it was a big ask.

Yes? Because they are attestations of a guy who literally rose from the dead and fulfilled many verifiably older prophecies. We literally have surviving copies of prophecies about Jesus that were made before He was born. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as irate. Literally had someone tell me that it would be better if I and basically everyone I hold dear to me was dead. Along with 4 billion other people.

The Bible isn't one book. It's a library of 66 books spanning thousands of years.
