Well, Jesus came back from the dead, so he must know something that no other religious leader knows. Every other founder of every other religion is dead and stayed dead.
Jesus came back from a tomb that had a complete Roman guard, sealed with a two ton stone, and showed himself to over 500 witnesses to prove that he was alive again.
Most of the apostles were willing to be tortured to death rather than recant their story that they saw Jesus alive again. I would think that if they were lying, then they would change their story to save their own life.
There are also the personal stories of many people who will tell you that Jesus changed their life by saving them from drug habits, drinking, participating in gangs, etc. (note, I said Jesus, not the religion of Christianity). I'm sure that you probably heard those by now, so I will leave it at that, since other people can tell their own story better that I can.
------------------------------...
....The resurrection of Christ was the legitimate climax to his unique life and death. He foretold his resurrection to his disciples directly (Mt.16:21) and to others through parables (Mt. 12:40).
Frank Morrison, a British lawyer of the 1930s, undertook an expedition to collect circumstantial evidence to disprove the resurrection. Such evidence, of course, is admissible in all courts of law in civilized countries to prove or disprove events of which there are no living eyewitnesses. When he analyzed the evidence, he reached a stunning conclusion: The resurrection had actually taken place! Morrison presented his case in his book, "Who Moved the Stone?"
Another factor worth considering is the character of the disciples. They were eleven cowardly men who shut themselves in a room after the crucifixion because they were afraid. Yet what galvanized them into action so that within their own lifetime, much of the then known world could hear the message of Christ? Some of them paid for this message with their lives. Would they have done so if the resurrection were a hoax?...

Religion is man-made. True spirituality is not.
Conventional practices such as religion stress that the human is born in sin; that one has only one life to live; that each and every soul must accept the tenets of religious doctrine or be sentenced to hell for eternity; and that there is only one means of spiritual practice for all of humankind to bring order and salvation to our chaotic condition. The followers of traditional doctrine have also been led to believe that there is only one Master for all humanity, completely overlooking that if a Master was needed in the past, how much more He would be needed now! Furthermore, spiritual worship has been directed more toward the personality of the Saint rather than His spiritual essence, and, therefore, cultish tendencies have replaced genuine worship. Upon close investigation it is found that religion, as humankind knows it, is more the byproduct of strong-willed disciples rather than the original doctrine taught by the founding Saint.
The common denominator in all separate paths is their insistence that truth and God are not within your own body. There are over fifteen thousand separate paths in the world today, and few embody the axiom of cutting edge spirituality — that the truth is found within the temple of the human vessel.
It is impossible to find your true Self if one persists in searching outside the body. All great Saints of the past, present, and future unequivocally state that truth, soul, the true Master, and the Supreme Deity are all located within the human body, and to look for them anywhere else is an exercise in illusion and futility.

"Logic" is a way by which humans correlate and understand things. Like humans can't hear sounds beyond certain frequencies it is totally possible that their "logic" is wrong!
I don't mean to say that you should believe in this things blindly, but just as there is no mathematical way to prove God doesn't mean God doesn't exist, you can't dismiss a claim outright.
God's existence is proven by the way an order exists in the universe, from the tiniest of things to the biggest of masses. There is a system.

No, the existence of a deity can neither be proven nor disproven.
However, operating under the assumption that disproving a text that describes one of the various deities is sufficent to disprove that deity, many of the various gods can be disproven, including the one Jews, Christians, and Muslims worship.

I think the best evidence would be fulfilled prophesy, and not vague statements but bold, specific ones. This is where the Bible stands out.
And by the way, I do NOT worship the same god that Muslims do.

No, there is no real evidence to believe in any religion. It is all a matter of personal choice and faith.

you have the greatest tool to prove for yourself if the Bible is truthful or not. use the web to research out the time periods of the Bible and to see for yourself if what is written about has been proven or disprove

theres no evidence either way, no one can say with any certainty that religion is either valid or invalid, it's up to the individual to decide what is best for them

The Bible is THE MOST documented and verified religious book EVER written. It has lasted for millennium and will do so until the end of time. Archaeologically, socially and historically, the Bible has secular support.
