Fascinating and wonderful. I am glad that so many believe.

I dn't buy it. I mean I assume there was a guy named Jesus. It seems to be pretty well established. I have my own beliefs about how magical he was but I find the poll a bit skewed. I mean they asked 1000 people and then publish the results as if it represents the average. I am sure that these numbers would change depending on who you ask. Jews wouldn't believe he rose from the dead. I wouldn't and even agnostics would question it. So I find this number a bit high.

Magic is something entirely different, just so you know.

Did Jesus exist? Probably.

The rest of the story? Not buying it anymore.

I don't know about others. I believe because I have had a personal experience with Christ since I was a child. I looked to him as a brother and God as my father. I have always known he was there and he was my friend.
Since I have been grown that relationship/belief was reinforced through my praying through him to ask God to heal me. I put my hand on my own heart (or where I thought it might be ) and prayed that if there was nothing he wanted me to continue for that I thought I was ready to go home, but if for some reason he wanted me to stick around please fix my heart and heal it completely.
Now at the time for 12 years every doctor had thought I had a rhythm problem and always wanted to put in a pace maker. Turns out the problem was completely different and could be completely cured.

Some may explain it away anyway they choose. That's entirely up to them. I just know right now that my God is real and he is my savior.
