Don't you think that if you were born into Islamic religion that you would believe that instead? If you haven't read the Quran, then your how do you know that the Christian religion (of the 3 Abraham religions -Islam, Judaism, Christianity) is the right one? And if you haven't read the Bible then you really have some issues.
What makes you believe in Jesus and not Zeus? They are both ancient gods and there is no reason or proof to believe in one or the other!!! Not one shred of evidence! You are atheist, just to let you know, 99% at least. Out of the thousands of gods you choose one, why? Why not just go one god further?

Today's religion is tomorrow's mythology. One day, thousands of years into the future, someone on Yahoo! Answers will ask "Why JugBug and not Jesus, Allah, Zeus, Apollo, or even Santa Claus?"
And the screaming Juggish masses will tear in here and all post variations of "Because I know the Truth. JugBug is our saviour and lord. All other religions were actually following Him but didn't realise it!"

Show me fulfillment of prophesy. Show me where someone accepted what the qu'ran says, and their heart and life were changed. Show me what indelible mark of righteousness that any of the things you listed up there (with the exception of Yahweh, who is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ) have left on our world. EVERYONE knows that zeus is a lie, and that santa is a lie. For your sake I hope you don't believe in them. So now we are down to islam and the Holy Bible. Please show me what positive thing islam has given the world. islam is currently the number one threat to the world, and is getting worse in that regard by the minute. Jesus Christ said, "I am come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly." I can testify of my own life having been changed by the goodness and mercy of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, because I have lived both with and without God. You can't tell me anything about whether my personal experience with God is valid or not. I adhere to the Bible because it has been proven again and again in my own life to be the book that brings love, peace, hope, provision...on and on. Good things. I have not met a single atheist or deist or pagan or wiccan or polytheist or evolutionist or muslim that can say for certain that their "religion" or practice has given them that. When you have the real already, you don't have to waste your time going on a diligent search for something else that will give you what you have already found.

I believe that the Bible is true and the Bible says that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, and no one will enter to the Father's house except through Him.
I study Muslim religion and I even have a Quran, but I follow Jesus. He is my choice. Because if I want to be with God I need to go to Jesus for that. : )

Ist of all there soo much proof of Jesus as God that I see no other choice. If you really want me give you some reasons why, then e-mail me cause I am to lazy now. Anyways Christianity has the full history that can be traced back. And Zeus is only mythological

This question has been asked before and the answer is: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoseover believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Did anyone that you know of besides Jesus die for YOUR sins??

Oh, I have read the Quaran, the Bagavad gita, Greek, Roman, Celtic and Norse mythology, etc...
One day, I asked G-d to show me the truth, I fell on this verse in the bible: "I am the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6)
Simple yet SO powerfull words that changed my life forever!

Why? Because I know the truth. I believe in a God who has died, risen, and is still alive today. All of the other gods have either died or were made up.
Also, there is no -true- evidence that contradicts what the Bible says, only evidence that confirms it. Other religions can't say the same about their books and teachings.

I've read the Quran, and it actually states that God works everywhere with all people.
That includes the egyptian gods, greek gods, etc. All of those worshippers were followers of the very same God that exists today.
I was raised in Catholic tradition, but I accept no tradition as being better than another.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 .
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for teaching, for conviction [something that we know for certain], for correction [or restoration, to get us turned around, healed in mind and spirit], for training in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:16

This is why I'm a Pagan. I can worship or believe in any number of gods, as my needs, desires, and intuition dictates - or none at all. And I recognize that all deities are really just archetypes or aspects of one divine spirit.
I'm not sure what you mean by "you are atheist," though. An atheist believes that there are no gods at all.
