What initially caused you to start believing the bible (or similar) as absolute fact?
The bible (or similar) itself didn't convince you, was it another person and what made you believe them?

I think 99% of people who believe in god and the bible have never read the book and have never spoken to the other.

I believe because the God of the Bible totally changed my life at a time when it was completely unexpected and in a way that I didn't even know was possible. He totally changed me from the inside out in an instant, in a moment of great despair when He spoke this simple word into my heart: "Maybe Jesus really did die for your sins"
With that one word faith came into my heart, a great burden of guilt and hopelessness was dispelled, and a sense of love, peace, acceptance and understanding flooded my heart, and for the first time in my life, everything finally made sense. It was a year later, when reading the Bible, that I realized what I experienced was there all the time. It can be found in the Third Chapter of John where Jesus is talking to a man named Nicodemus about something He called being "born again." That's what happened to me that day - I was born again, born of the Spirit. From that time on I knew the Bible was the Truth.

The Truth found in The Bible. Prophecy confirmed.

I believe in Jesus because the eyewitness testimony of his life, teachings, ministry and miracles recorded in the gospels is convincing to me. Pick up a Bible and read them for yourself and see if they are convincing to you.

I believe in the Bible because of the spiritual truth it contains...especially in the revolutionary and unmatched teachings of Jesus (love your enemies, do good to those who persecute you & love your neighbor as yourself). Jesus Himself confirms the truth in the rest of Scripture.
