Thankfully, I'm confident that isn't going to happen. I have read and studied the Bible for most of my life and have tested it and have found it to be true and reliable. I also live in relationship with God and the Holy Spirit confirms for me things that I learn through the Bible. It would take a great leap to imagine that all of this life experience is misdirected.
If I play along with your question, I still don't think I would stray from the teaching of the Bible because it has served me well so far in life and has been confirmed so many times.
Your question can't really be a challenge to true believers because personal experience is so difficult to lay aside.

A lot of the Bible isn't "the word of God"
My relationship with God is a personal , one on one, relationship. It would still be, even if the Bible didn't exist.

It is not the word of God. That's why there are so many versions of it. King this and that wrote this version and some other person wrote another version. The titles of the Bible themselves prove the whole Bible as a fallacy. The Bible was in its original form when it was first revealed, but afterward, it was altered and those who altered it changed it to their liking.

It's fiction anyway so why should that bother me? The priest were very careful in picking out which gospels to include. Anything that was counter to their plans ended up in the trash. The gnostic gospels were all destroyed except for the one written by Judas which recently turned up. He didn't even mention the crucifixion in his?????

Not much at all.
It is better to lead a decent life worshiping God and find out at the end that there was no god than to live life as if there is no God and find out there is.

Not at all. I'd still treat people the way I wish to be treated, Give reverence to Mother Earth and learn from my experiences.

"Christianity...[has become] the most perverted system that ever shone on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus." --- Thomas Jefferson
“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) ,
The Christian Trinity is a copy of the Pagan religion of Rome called Mithraism. Mithra was a half man half god who died for the sins of his followers. Guess what date the SUN god Mithra was born on ? - Thats right ...December 25th
The concept of God having a son is the basis of most Polytheistic religions and the exact opposite of the Abrahamic message of Monotheism. Your Lord is ONE – no partner, no Son , No God incarnate.
“The son-ship of Jesus Christ is the greatest fiction of human history.” (Lord Bishop of Canterbury Commission, the Spiritual Head of England, 1910.)
“The son-ship of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the blood sacrifice of the lamb of God, atonement are not the teachings of Jesus. These are all inventions of Saint Paul who never really met Jesus.” (Hastings Rashdall, The Theory of Good and Evil)
“In the Christian world, you do not talk about God, when talking of god. Every Christian talks about his or her own conception of God “ (Nicholas Berdyeau, Destiny of Man.)
"The New Testament is mysteriously silent about Jesus between twelve and thirty years. I wonder what the Son of God had been doing on God's earth during that time ! " (Max Marshall, The Great Fiction)
“I counted 30,000 contradictions in the New Testament. (Dr. Maile, Confessions of a Sceptic)
"Initially there were 34 gospels that were compiled by word of mouth. Four were chosen for unclear reasons and 30 were left behind [burned]. (Encyclopedia Britannica)
"Jesus and his disciples spoke Aramaic but the gospels were written in Greek ! A man in Jerusalem wrote Messiah's Biography on hearsay. That is what the gospel is. (Martin Springler, A Quest for Truth)
“Few scholars can disagree that the fourth gospel was written by some nameless mystic between 95 to 125 C.E. “ (Dr. W.R. Inge, The Fall of Idols)
"All the gospels - Matthew, Luke and John openly contradict each other. ( Earnest Renan, Essay on Nationality)
