I don't claim to be a scholar or archaeologist. I am not going to waste my time looking up this material. You have already made up your mind. You have judged this matter without giving the other side a fair hearing. Do you read BAR? (Biblical Archaelogy Review). You can present mountains of evidence/proofs on any given topic and some will never be convinced. If you do a search on the Internet, you can find this info.
As someone else wrote, you do have to take some things on faith. I do that. The proof is the pudding (as we "yanks" say). If you strive to live by the teachings of Christ and the Bible, your life will be more peaceful and rewarding. I can say that from experience. I was a juvenile deliquent in my younger days and headed to prison. Giving my life to God and Christ turned my life around. Yes, there are many phonies out there and non-christians/and or atheists get turned off by poor behavior.
Have you actually read the Bible? I mean COVER to COVER? I don't mean a few verses in the OT and NT. If you have not, don't judge it till you have tried it.

I don't read BAR, I tend to stick to just general archaeology, stay in contact with an archaeologist I know and buy books when I have the money. I used to be quite the devout little Christian. I used to pray every night and I absolutely insisted on having a Bible in the house so yes, I have read more than a few passages. When I got to about 14, I felt like there was no-one listening and began to doubt. Then, as I got deeper into my many scientific hobbies, I noticed cntradictions. My doubts got worse. My best friend was also having doubts, so we had a talk. By the end of it, we came to a conclusion: there is no God. We've both felt much happier since then. She's agnostic and I'm athiest.

My gran had a plant that looked kinda like Yoda's head. She kept it in the bathroom, it was kinda creepy.
