I used to believe. Then I actually read the Bible. Then I realized that the pastor was lying. Then I read the Bible again, and again, and realized that it contradicts itself on so many points that it is impossible to know what to believe. This is why there are so many different faiths. Some believe one part, some believe another. I made a decision, and that decision took some years to make. It is not easy undoing years of programming.
It really doesn't matter what you think about the bible, what pastors say, what professors say.....
What matters is what you do when God brings you into the glide path to salvation.
You will resist. Or you will accept.
And it's already known which you will do. There's nothing going to change that.
"But as many as received Him to them gave He power to become children of God, even to those who believed on His name."
