I am Christian because I choose to percieve signs as being in correlation with a higher being. I choose to see mericles - things that are clearly out of the ordinary - as acts of a much higher intelligence. I choose to believe that this higher being instilled morals and compassion in humans, but allowed humans the choice of whether to act out of compassion and moreals or not. I belive that the higher intelligence, God, loves His (or Her) creations, and holds us higher. Proof that He holds us above all else is our creativity, and the gift of compassion and morality. My morals and compassion coincide with the teachings of Jesus. Not the bible, but Jesus is why I am a Christian.
Of course I'm a Buddhist, too. Heh. Buddhist lifestyle with a nonspecific Christian faith.
