It's a fair question, but it seems to come with an implied "they're not". That's because of a fundamental misunderstanding about the Christian faith.
Did you do any art appreciation in school? If not, you may have seen someone on TV or a movie staring at a painting and someone asks them something like "what do you think the artist is trying to say?" The thing about art appreciation is no one ever seems to ask the artist what he was trying to say. "I think the artist was speaking about the oppression of the working class and calling for a revolution." The artist never gets to say, "Nah, I just like apples."
A lot of people seem to assume religion is like that: Someone gazing at their navel says what they think about God and people act like it's authoritative. And that may be a fair summary of some of the religions out there, but it's not true about Christianity. The most important thing to understand about the Judeo-Christian tradition is the phrase "thus sayeth the Lord."
The Bible is not a record of people's musings about God. It is a record of what God said and did. He spoke to people, and they wrote it down. He told us about himself and what he expects from us. He told us about our failings and what he was doing about them.
"Why should we believe that's true?" Excellent question!
As Voddie Baucham put it, "The Bible is a life-changing collection of reliable historical documents written by eye-witnesses to supernatural events that occurred in fulfillment of specific prophecies demonstrating the Bible's divine origin."
We can show that the Bible is made up of reliable historical documents written by eye-witnesses, but that doesn't necessarily make what they said about God true. We need the supernatural for that. So let's talk about the Bible predicting the future, specifically as relates to Jesus.
Hundreds of years before Christ was born, the prophets were writing about him. Let's look at eight prophecies that are pretty obviously about the Messiah and that Jesus could not have chosen to fulfill:
Born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2)
Rejected by his people (Is 53:3, Psalm 22:6-8)
Abandoned by his followers (Zech 13:7)
Badly beaten (Is 52:14)
Death by crucifixion (Psalm 22:16-17)
Killed with criminals (Is 53:9)
Lots cast for his clothes (Psalm 22:18)
Buried with the rich (Is 53:9)
The odds of Christ’s fulfilling these eight prophecies are 1 in 1017 or 1 in one hundred million billion. For comparison, the odds of winning the Powerball or Mega Millions lottery is about 1 in 300 million. Long before Jesus was born, the prophets described his birth, ministry, and death in impossibly accurate detail demonstrating that God is behind these scriptures.
Further, after his death, the Bible's most important supernatural even occurred: The resurrection of Jesus. He was convicted of blasphemy and handed over to the Romans to be crucified. Then God raised him from the dead, vindicating him, and putting his stamp of approval on what Jesus said and did. So what Jesus taught is true.
Jesus said he was what God was like. He taught that morality is more than being generally nice and more than merely being superficially obedient to the Ten Commandments. He said there would be a judgment for sin and the only way to survive that would be through him.
How can Christians think their way is the only right way? Because the man who was predicted before his birth, the man who died and rose from the dead said his way was the only right way, and we're following him.
