The evidence is very important to me as a Christian because, if Jesus didn't die and rise again, my faith is completely irrational. A lot of other Christians feel the same way. Some people have came to Christ through the evidence that's there is. A Oxford history professor said the resurrection is the most attested event of the period, a former lord chief justice in England said no intelligent Jury could deny the resurrection. (full quotes at the end). These are intelligent people who know what they are talking about, not just some weak minded people who've been brain washed by church. They're other examples of people like this saying similar things in a link I've provided.
You can do one of 2 things, you can investigate the evidence for yourself, or you can't. Considering the only criticism you've leveled against Christianity I'm guessing you haven't looked at the evidence. If you have, you're entitled to your opinion and I apologize for that remark. If you haven't then I encourage you (and everyone, Christian or non-Christian) to look at it seriously, and not just dismiss offhandedly. I believe that for the non-Christian it will surprise, and for the Christian it will strengthen your faith.
