This whole thing sounds like a fairy tale to me!
I think I understand where you're coming from. At first glance Christianity can seem like a confusing jumble of stories from thousands of years ago.
What makes it different from all the other stories from thousands of years ago, such as the Greek legends?
The Bible was written by about 40 different people over 16 centuries. The writers were from various economic and vocational stratas. Yet all of their writings agree, despite the fact that they were writing about controversial subjects.
Some prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled. (I say "some", because other prophecies, such as the second coming of Jesus to earth, have not yet been fulfilled.) Here's one example of a fulfilled prophecy:
"But you, Bethlehem Ephratah [a town in Israel], though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth unto Me He that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." Micah 5:2.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, well over 500 years after Micah died.
There is an absence in the Bible of the gruesome violence and perversion common in the stories of other early religions.
There are more ancient copies of the original manuscripts of the Bible than any other book. In fact there are over 14000 copies of the New Testament manuscripts, and some of them were written within 80 years of when the writer died. (By contrast there are only 600 copies of Homer's Iliad, and they were made 1300 years after the originals.)
