You should, too.

Okay, when I read this I hear, adults don't just believe in Jesus, they study exactly the Jesus story is first.  That's information regarding the claim, not proof of the claim.  Without proof of the claim it's still blind faith.

Or is there real evidence?

That's what former atheists who convert to Christianity typically do...they study the story first...and come to believe that it is reasonable to believe.

So, yes, of course there's "real" evidence, Jenny. I can give you a dozen reasons to believe that the NT is historically reliable. Tim O'Neill gave the forum reasons why Jesus is not a myth. There are solid reasons to think that the resurrection really happened.

The problem is that none of this is "real" in your opinion. Other folks, equally skeptical at first (and equally intelligent), have arrived at a different conclusion.
