Does everything that you experience in life make sense except Christianity? Air is real. You can't see it. You can't smell it. You can only feel it if something moves it. You can only hear it if something moves it. So does air make sense? Do you believe in air? What about radio waves or microwaves?
All I know is that I tried to fill an empty lonely hole in my heart with a lot of things and with a lot of people, and nothing filled that hole in my life until I met God. He is passionately in love with you, and because of that, He died for you. He wants to take you to Heaven to live for eternity with Him in a place where there will never be any more pain, sorrow, sickness, or death.
I don't have to see God to see the results of His being. Just as I cannot see air, I can see the results of the hurricane. The earth is full of His miracles. Biblical prophecies that were written thousands of years ago are coming true today! I believe in the Bible because of the results that I see.
Christianity is about God and it is about love. And everybody knows that love makes no sense. But who in the world wants to be without it?

No. First of all I do not believe that good people will go to hell just because they are of a different religion.
I do not believe that there is a Christian alive that truly understands the truth in Jesus' teachings. I believe it is impossible for us to know since the bible has been manipulated by so many. I really believe that many of Jesus teachings were esoterical, and were in code. I do not believe that Christians really understand it. "Let those that have ears hear".
I do not believe that the true god would behave the same as the bible god of the OT. I have clearly seen with my own eyes how many of the stories in the OT are stories taken from other so called Pagan religions, changed, turned to one god and put in the bible. To me that alone is enough reason to discredit most of it.

Because of the consistent pattern throughout the Bible.
Here's 66 books by over 40 writers over a 6,000 year time span all exhibiting evidence of a singular author.
If you want to understand a book, learn about the book's author. There is a recurring pattern in the Bible that could not have been intended by its various writers. This is the subject of my book The Gates of Hell (http://www.intuitionpress.com/Book_Info.asp?id=40)
Once you become aware of the pattern, the Bible begins to make a LOT of sense.

Religion only makes sense to those who believe in it. If you don’t you have neither the right nor the reason to debate or mock other’s religious beliefs. I find it amazing how many so called progressive liberals think nothing of mocking Christians. The stereotyping and ignorance is disgusting. They would NEVER think of writing these things about Jews because that would be too blatant of a bigotry for them. It's amazing how political correctness in the liberal’s mind outweighs both morality and common sense.

Do you know exactly how a tv works? Could you make one yourself? The answer is no you just know that it works and thats enough.
Christianity is the same thing you may not understand it, you don't even have to believe it, it is your choice. If you think it makes sense then it works.

Absolutely not. I have no doubt that in some part the bible is based off truths. However, they loved a good story in those days and an exciting one with miracles and people coming back from the dead, performing magic tricks makes a much more interesting one than "Hey there was a guy named Jesus that pissed the Roman's off so they killed him." Yeah..

No. Because there is lots of evidence that there are falsehoods in the Bible, no evidence whatsoever that the Bible is completely true, and Christianity depends on the absolute infallibility of the Bible. And which Bible is that anyway? There are so many different versions.
It's a legend, a mythology; it's origins are obvious, and it blows my mind that so many people accept these fables as absolute truth.

Christianity makes perfect sense. It was a well documented daily journal from people that spoke to eyewitnesses. why would these men lie about it?

It makes about as much sense as any other religion.
None.
