Jesus can be someone to follow as an example of a model life whether or not one believes in the miracles surrounding his life. The philosophy he talks about in the beatitudes, parables, and other places, can be a way of approaching life.

But being a Christian is a bit more than the above, consider this one point.

If a man two thousand years ago really did bring himself back from the dead, would that be an event of some significance? Would that force you to have to change what you think is and is not possible in this great big universe?
That is, of course, if you accepted the event as fact, or at least tried to believe in it as fact.
