Why Believe in Christianity over all other religions?

If you can rely on the eyewitnesses of the Bible, then you can rely on the eyewitnesses of every religion with them. This creates a contradiction since Christianity says other religions are false, so you would have to deny other eyewitnesses while selecting ones that are favorable to your argument.

I don't think that they would die for something they knew was a lie. Jesus could have really thought he was the son of god and might not have been. Maybe he thought he was something he wasn't, and others believed him. Son of god or not though, his message was good.

If anyone has anything better to offer than the claims, the deeds, and the sacrifice of Christ then perhaps I would go that way. But since no one else has anything better to offer than Jesus and since no one else has fulfilled prophecies, performed miracles, raised people from the dead, risen from the dead, and promised to return for his people, than we are forced by reason and the evidence to continue to believe in Jesus, his teachings, and the truth that Christianity represents as is found in him.

Christianity is true and we are not deceived because Christianity is based on the person of Jesus who fulfilled prophecy, claimed to be God in flesh, performed many miracles, died, and physically rose from the dead, because it is consistent with reason, facts, and shows evidence of God's inspiration. And finally, all other religious systems are either unverifiable or irrational thereby disqualifying them as being true.
