Most of Jesus' miracles could've been staged. He didn't end the world's hunger, he didn't erradicate a disease or something of extreme importance and other sources didn't mention his "feats" outside the bible.
He didn't reveal anything of scientific importance, or something that could make humanity progress and enter a new era of prosperity. There were many impostors in that time, why would I have to believe that Jesus was any different? Where are the sources that mention his greatness outside the bible? I need to read what people OUTSIDE his sect experienced during his lifetime.
If you want to justify this scam with the sect's own scriptures that would be like mormons justifying their faith with their own holy books. And it doesn't work that way.
These miracles were in line with superstitious beliefs of that era (raising from the dead, casting out demons, healing sick people) and their account was written by fanatical and religious zealots who were also human and part of a SECT. And as humans they also had their personal interests: money, power, authority, influence, prestige, etc.
Just because Paul, Peter or John Doe said it happened, doesn't make it real. And like most fantastical stories ever written in ancient times, there's a high likelihood that they are the product of someone's imagination.
I won't believe in christianity until there's scientific evidence that anything of that happened. Maybe it's time for you dear Lord to show himself up, he's been 2000 years late!
