How would you finish this sentence: "Christianity can't be true because..."

Firstly - define christianity. There seems to be a multitude of mutually opposing ideologies and organizations claiming the title, so - which christianity are you talking about?
Secondly - what do you mean by "christianity being true"? Do you mean - all of it? The core dogma? Cherry-picked fragments, that are either unfalsifiable, or simply mundane?
Lastly and most importantly - why should I think "christianity is true", if christians never managed to show a shred of reliable evidence for any of their claims in the first place?
It's not that "christianity can't be true". It's just that - going by what knowledge we have today - it just isn't. Sorry, kiddo. There's no reason Santa couldn't deliver presents to all nice children around the globe in one day - he just doesn't.
I agree with all that you have written here, except you must stop lying to yourself about Santa.
