Lets break down the name Jesus Christ;
Jesus or Yehoshua Ben Yosefor means "Son of Joseph not son of God, Jeahova, or Allah! Christ was his title and not his last name. In Greek "Christ" means "annoitted one" or "one who is annointed." The average Christian does not know this since most information about Jesus and being a christian is A-B-C/1-2-3, or black & white.
For the record, these religions do not deny his existance, only his status as a supreme being or God like figure.
Since the titles Christian, Muslim, & Jewish are man made titles you'll never get an objective or true answer, because we have all of these religions and of course the "Mine is the real deal", theory almost always applies. In some cases being Jewish is a religion and a race of people depending upon who you ask.

Because jesus didnt say im a god. In the whole bible, term Trinity wanst mentioned, however Trinity mentioned Qura "Those who believes in Trinity are disbelievers"
I cant believe that god need to come to earth and put him self in human body "mary" and then get born and at the end put on the cross and stupid people spit on him and insult him to sacrifice for our sins. Its not acceptable. Your bible contain thousands of contradictions. Your religion failed on front secularism completely. Islam is the only religion that faces secularism and stand against it althought it doesnt have one country. However the church has a lot of money and loosing every day. Islam is complete and doesnt contain any mistake. The Quran is the greatest book. The more i gain experience in life, i believe more in what Quran says.
So i dont need to believe in something that was manipulated by some priests.

In Judaism, G-d never takes on a human form, it simply does not happen.
Equally, the real messiah, as described in the Tanakh/'old' testament, is a human being, and not divine.
Jesus was a young Jewish bloke who irritated the hell out of the Romans, which is why they killed him. He died a practising Jew. The idea that he was more than just a mortal did not evolve until decades after his death. Paul is the true founder of Christianity. Paul never even met Jesus.

Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because:
1) Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.
2) Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
3) Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations.
4) Jewish belief is based on national revelation.
Muslims don't believe Jesus died on the cross, they think he faked it

Is there a reason that we should?
It would be like me asking you why dont Christians believe that George Washington is God?
The burden of proof lies on you.

Because he sends "non-believers" to a place of eternal torment. I'll stick with my God of justice who judges us by our actions rather than by our intentions, thank you very much!

Because he's not. True Christians don't believe it either. Consider what the Bible says:
John 3:16 says: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
Does this verse say that God gave himself? No. It says that God his only-begotten Son.
John 3:17 says: "For God sent forth his Son into the world."
Does this verse say that God sent himself into the world? No. It says that he sent his Son.
At Luke 1:31, 32, the angel Gabriel told Mary: "You are to call his name Jesus. This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High."
Did Gabriel tell Mary Jesus would be the Most High? (Ps. 83:18) No. He told her that Jesus would be called the Son of the Most High.
At Luke 1:35, Gabriel said to Mary: "Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son."
Did Gabriel say that Jesus would be God? No. He said Jesus would be called God's Son.
At John 10:33, an angry mob said to Jesus: "Although you are a man, you make yourself God." Did Jesus agree? No. He told them at verse 36: "I am God's Son."
In summing up his gospel, did John view Jesus as God? No. At John 20:31, John said: "But these have been written down that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that, because of believing, you may have life by means of his name."
Jesus is not God. He is God's Son. As 1 John 5:5 says: "Who is the one that conquers the world but he who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?"
Two questions: If Jesus is God, who is the Son of God? Is God his own Father and Son?

Why don't Yankee fans root for the Red Sox? Simple. If you believe one thing, you're not going to believe something that opposes it, are you?

For the same reasons you don't believe that Allah is God, or that Jehovah changed his mind about Gentiles.
