Believing is not knowing. "Believing" is a flawed epistemic approach.
Humans over the centuries have believed many things that can be dismissed as nonsense. Spring heel Jack for instance. Why are their beliefs any less valid than yours?
The only valid process we've found to date to filter nonsense from reality is by examining the evidence.
The only evidence Christians have is a collection of doctored, 1st-3rd century propaganda mushed together with Jewish mythology. Hardly compelling.
And lastly, "many others" believing something has zero bearing on its truth. "Many others" are Muslims/Hindus/Mormons et al, and yet as a Christian, you think they are believing incorrectly. You see the flaw in that line of thinking?
Bare assertions will get you nowhere.
Not everything can be explained scientifically, especially when it comes to faith. I don't need empirical evidence that He existed when I know how he changed my life and many others.

That's too funny (pathetic). The only evidence is what some unknown guys wrote about an unknown guy in a book. It's like believing in the Lone Ranger riding around Texas shooting silver bullets on a pure white stallion with a black mask around his eyes in the hot Texas sun with an Indian by his side on a pinto horse.

His family didn't believe him so why so I be more gullible than them?
His brother James and His mother did.
