Hi, I have/had fundamentalist Christian grandparents(now long passed), I realise how important their faith was to their survival and the survival of their peers. Try living thru 2 world wars, a depression and migration to a foreign land. They lived their faith every moment of their lives right until the end. They were good, moral, happy, healthy honest hard working people of the land that built so much and sacrificed so much and asked for nothing. They were nothing special in their own community.

I definitely support christianity as a model for society to function by...in fact I think the evidence shows nothing is better, not looking to debate that point tho.

The problem is I just can't believe the many stories in the bible as actual events that happened.

Apologetics makes it worse, apologists seem like disingenuous salesmen.

Can some people be created such that they are incapable of faith?

Obviously I think so.

Do some landscaping and you will see that events in bible are true. Look at other historical texts, go to the land of Israel and see sites for yourself. The mountains in the bible such as moriah, and hermon, exist to this day. Israel has all the sites.
