LOL. That is the tack that you just took with the Bible. Lots of other ancient religious texts say lots of things, and in order to verify and substantiate them, according to you, we just need check their ancient text. If it says it and I choose to believe it, that verifies it. That is just indoctrination, and blind indoctrination at that. Or else you wouldn't dare use the Bible to substantiate anything about the claims and stories.
I am a
Biblical Fideist. I accept by
faith that the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God. The Holy Bible is my foundation for all things about which the Bible teaches. It has a power and authority that no other book ever has.
Literally
nobody believes that the
Harry Potter books are the Word of God. The author herself (JK Rowland) would be the first to denounce anyone who asserted that her novels were to be taken as historical truth.
A non-idiotic analogy would be to compare the Holy Bible to the
Koran or to the
Book of Mormon, or other similar works.
Your choice of analogy proves that you literally have no clue what you are talking about.
