Welcome! Liked your experience, especially:
Sorry, a book that has been interpreted in completely different ways by many well-intentioned - and not so well intentioned - people can't count as TRULY knowing.
The first thing I asked myself when I figured out TTATT was How do I know what I know? I came to the same conclusion as you about the bible.

Welcome doingwell
Where this leaves me today is "spiritual but not religious". I really want to believe in a good, kind God - or perhaps a force, or the "Source" for life that does not judge and punish over things we don't truly KNOW.
This pondering question reaches many people but the knowledge mankind has gradually obtained about the world in which we live tells us that
( all ) gods were created by human imagination and ignorance at the time and place they were originally created.
Religion is really about interpreting the embellished mystical stories told of particular gods/spiritual deities of very ignorant ancient civilizations.
This is where the real human folly begins to the detriment to are own modern civilizations living today.
