I have lots of questions and need lots of answers

I believe in God I believe in Jesus and rely only on him for my salvation. Unfortunately I struggle with trusting the Bible. My mind sees things that cause me to question certain aspects and I’m looking to see what others opinion or knowledge is on this. For instance……

John chapter 7:46-53. How did the author whether it be John or someone else, how did he know? How did the author know exactly what was said and happened between the soldiers and the Pharisees?

Why do people believe in the Bible? It is nothing more than an an ancient ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish religious fairytale whose main message is that the Jews are special above all other people on the planet. There are pieces of good timeless advice in the more secular books but you can get that elsewhere if you look.

It does not teach morality but complete obedience and total loyalty to the Boss (God, the emperor, the chief priest, the king, the family father). Disobedience to any of them warrants an immediate death sentence. The stories are based on the real Ten Commandments, which most people are completely ignorant about even if they claim to read the fairytale. The majority of people get their information from silly Hollywood movies which are complete BS and conmen preachers who are in it for the money, power, and prestige. It is strictly business to them.

In the end people buy the fairytale because they have been completely brainwashed their entire lives. They like the idea of having eternal life in a magical heaven. They like the sound of the words "God," "Bible," and "Jesus." And they think they are better than most other people.
