That is because you have never read a book about Christian missions in your life. Study the history of Ireland. Or the history of the Roman Empire. How the Christians spread the faith and died as martyrs. Yes, there has been bloodshed.
You use the connection between Christianity and Judaism against it. That is completely ridiculous. Judaism prophecies the existence of the Christian faith. Look at Isaiah 53. There is a deep continuity between Christianity and Judaism.
If there was a car company around for 2000 years, would that attach any credibility to it? Of course it would. Obviously that does not prove that Christianity is true, but it does attach credibility to it.
If the God of the Greeks was the true God, why would that God disappear? Wouldn't the God who created everything preserve himself?
