Is Christianity Fact or Fiction

I like to provoke thought that is why I am asking this question Is Christianity Fact or Fiction.
The main reason that we would say that it is fact is when we read the bible it tells of the historical side to Judaism and Christianity, when we read the new testament which teaches that Jesus Christ the son of God came and died on the cross for our sins. Is this a good enough reason to believe? We are told that Adam and Eve were confronted by Satan in the garden of Eden and they ate from the forbidden tree in the garden and therefore sin entered the world, after all we see a very fallen world around us today.
On the other hand The main reason that we would say fiction is could the bible be just a book that someone has written to get us to conform and to discipline our lives. Maybe there is no God or Jesus, no Heaven or Hell.
I would like to hear what folks have to say on the subject, I have a belief if anyone wishes to guess which belief I have feel free to say.

The Bible is a very complex book. The Torah, or Old Testament, is a book of history. It records the origin stories of the Tribes of Israel. It records the words of their Kings, and their holy men, and their Prophets.

After Jesus Christ was born and baptized, he began to preach that God was not just the stern strict God of the Old Testament, unable to forgive sinners, but was a God who loved all of the people of the world, Jews and Gentiles alike, and that on the Day of Judgement God WANTED to forgive his children, if only they would repent. (I'm paraphrasing the bulk of what He said).

These words were carefully recorded by the Apostles, just as the Old Testament had been recorded.

But they were not recorded until AD 78 or 79.

Jesus Christ himself was not considered to be God until He was so declared by Emperor of Rome, Constantine, in the year 325 A.D. That was when the civilized world accepted the Godhood of Jesus Christ. The Apostle John mentions the Godhood of Jesus, in the New Testament.

Faith is the firm belief in something we cannot see because we FEEL that it is there, feel it deeply.

All of your questions can be answered by Faith.
