Why do people believe religious texts?

[Minimalist]

Do you believe that Julius Caesar existed? Why?

Because there is reliable contemporary evidence for the existence of Ceasar

There is none for the existence of Jesus or other myths in the Bible.

Nice try, but bad comparison.

There are just as many historical texts and evidence to support the existence of Jesus as there is Caesar. It's actually a very good comparison and a valid one.

You are completely fucking wrong. This tired old canard is beaten to death by jesus-freaks and there is not a shred of truth to it.

There is NO non-canonical evidence for your godboy. And by 'canonical' I mean one lies and the other swears to it. Caesar, aside from his own writings, figures in inscriptions, other writings, including his enemies' writings, statues, coins, and even archaeological finds of his extensive earthworks at the battle of Alesia which he detailed. You should be embarrassed to make such an assertion but, I'm sure you are not.

Not a single Greco-Roman writer in the first half of the first century ever heard of your boy. Why is that?
