How can Jews/Christians/etc. actually defend that their holy

You have understand, they believe that if they don't they go to hell/are separate from god.

It was mostly mythology (correct me if I'm wrong), and obviously a human cannot live that long. I also choose not to believe in the Ark. are they possibly metaphorical lessons? That's what I choose to believe.

No, according to Genesis it's canon. There's timelines of Noah's life over his hundreds of years. Some people say that the flood was God's wraith or something and this includes the shortening of human life but not to sound like an edgelord but I think it's all bullshit.

And yeah, your faith sounds like what my parents believe in. I forgot the word for it, but it's the opposite of litertalism and fundamentalism (maybe it's called modernism?) where you see the Books as a model or upstanding behavior and society instead of a historical account.

Do you believe Jesus was a real person? Personally I think he might have been but maybe there was exaggeration or information lost in time. I really do enjoy his teachings however. He's very similar to Buddha when it comes to goodwill and living in poverty.

Most Christians don't take Genesis literally. I can't speak for Jews.

Pleb-tier theology

Elaborate. Are you defending the Catholic Church? The syndicate consisting of paedos getting paid 6 figures a year, adorned in gold and jewelry, worshiping in a church worth millions of dollars, tax free, and also get free housing? That was a huge part of what Jesus stood against.

Go home Romani

They really don't

I certainly don't. That would be outrageous. Even the Catholic Church doesn't believe the world as made in 6 days.
