I am a fool for Jesus. Whose fool are you?

You should accept Christianity (I think) because:
(1) If you research it, the evidence strongly points towards there being a God.
a. The universe had a beginning.
b. The theory of evolution is very flawed.
d. No strong evidence against the existence of God.
c. The fact the Jesus fulfilled the messianic prophecies proves there is a "higher power"
(2) Of all the religions in the world Christianity has, (in my opinion) the best, (and the only) evidence for it.
a. The fact that Jesus fulfilled the messianic prophecies proves he was the "messiah" (the messianic prophecies are the prophecies the describe in detail the messiah that would come according to the Jewish Scripture) This means the Jewish faith was correct, and so at least one religion the believes Jesus was the messiah must be correct. (such as Christians, Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses)
b. If you accept that one of these religions must be correct, it is easy to find fundamental flaws in all other faiths. (in my opinion anyway) Ron Rhodes is an excellect author on that subject.
I would suggest that you research it for yourself, Some books that helped me are: "The Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel and "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek. Ron Rhodes is another excellent Christian Apologetics author.
If you have any other questions at all I would be more than happy to help.
Hope that helps,
Josh K.

The effect of His Holiness the Christ's message speaks for itself - it's effect has been felt around the world. And this from a Man who with the help of only a few disciplines transformed the world. If this is not Dinive power in action then what is?

I don't have to "prove" anything, only to believe.
Proverbs 1:22-23 says:
22 "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
23 If you had responded to my rebuke,
I would have poured out my heart to you
and made my thoughts known to you.

To me, foolishness is often in the eye of the beholder. For instance, in Human Resources, you often see policies and procedures that seem stupid to an untrained person. But once they understand why something happens, thye realize it really is not that dumb of a procedure.
The same goes for Christianity. some our our thoughts and beliefs may seem strange or foolish to you, but there is usually a reason for what we believe.

no one is the same everyone needs something different, there is no one "right" religion. there are truths in all the religions some people already know the truths that one has to offer so they must learn the truths of another. Hindu believe there are 7 points on the body to meditate on one of these is just above the head, when a person has meditated on that point as much as one can it is seen as a halo. can you name someone in history that had a halo? by the way, i believe in the teachings of Jesus
