I still don't understand why anyone would make up a person like the Biblical Christ..

It's the fact that people believe he is real that gets me

I guess people say this all the time, but how can you say for certain he is not real. If God were real you would expect he would show people things that were of a supernatural nature to prove his existance to them. Especially if he was declaring the truth about who God was. You read the story of Moses, and say that is just insane, how could that happen. But if we were indeed dealing with the God who created all living things then you would say well that is just normal. Miracles are only unexpected if God is infact not real. You have started with the assumption that God is infact not real. Others start with the assumption that he is. Then it comes down to personal evidence and conviction. How does each one get that evidence well it starts with being exposed to things that proved God's existance. For me I was bought up in a Christian home but never really followed God. I heard from time to time others experiences with him, and did not think they were lying. But I just played computer games and was happy with that part of my life. One day God reached out to me in a dream and it changed my life hopefully forever. So now days I have had some experiences of my own, I have seen a healing, but heard of other pastors who have done more than I have done, like opening the eyes of the blind, and all sorts of cool stuff. Why do I believe Jesus, well becasue he is real not becasue some one tells me to believe or forces me to go to church. I am an adult with a family, have a university education, but despite all of that do not trust in that alone but put my trust in God. On my personal website there is a link to a page that has documented cases of divine healing I will get it for you. Here it is http://www.wcdn.org/wcdn_eng/case/divine_case_e.asp they were all documented by degree trained doctors not natropaths or some thing.
