Be honest: when you read the bible what makes you think it is of divine origin? [Spirituality & Religion]

There was a time in my life where i really wanted to believe and i tried hard to have faith and asked with all my heart that god reveal himself to me. But predictably he did not. And the more i read, the more it became obvious to me that the bible was the work of men.
So base and petty and violent. This was not the work of an enlightened being.

So what makes you feel that the bible is of divine origin?

For people thousands of years ago that couldn't read it was magic. The Old testament was written down stories that had been passed on verbally while the Jews were enslaved. The New testament is a collection of books written many years after Christ was alive and might be based on the Q document. The teachings of Paul make up a large part of it. "Luke" also has several books. Personally I could say my book ,"The Raindrop Who Lost It's Cloud" is of devine origin as it came to me suddenly as I was driving up to my mom's. It's featured under my snowflake on here.
