I've seen stuff myself. Synchronicities, exorcisms and other things. But anyway, does Islam boast as many miracles as Christianity? Not at all. How about exorcisms; are Muslim exorcists as efficacious as Christian ones? Again it would seem that no; although they do manage to get some jinn out. How about visions? Youtube (yes, Youtube, our universal digital agora; don't be a snob here) is full of testimonies of people who were not Christians and who had visions of Jesus, or of Jesus and his Mother, and converted. People hailing from all sorts of different cultural and religious backgrounds. Who is this Jesus who keeps showing himself to people? Why can't I find videos of people who have had visions of Muhammad or Buddha? And I did look for them. Yes; why are visions of Jesus so common? You don't need to agree with me that this proves Christianity is real; but how do you explain this? 

Anyway, that's my blunt general explanation of why I believe Christianity is real. Christianity is annoying sometimes; Christians sometimes irritate me; the Christian life is a narrow road and it's not always easy; and sometimes I have dark nights of the soul; sometimes I feel like Job; sometimes I wonder if God is a sadist.

But generally it is a happy religion. A religion of sunshine and birdsong. The happiness of the saint, the pauper, the mystic; the happiness of St. Francis; the happiness of those who renounce the rotten vanities of the world and go tend to lepers. There is no greater dignity, no greater joy, no greater love. Not the stern Muslim religion, not the nihillism of Buddhism, but the religion of love. Pascal, Dostoevsky, Eliot; hints of this beauty is found in their works. The beauty of cathedrals; the beauty of Bach's music; the beauty of Brothers Karamazov. How curious that Jesus is often portrayed with his heart aflame, for when I pray I often feel a fire in the center of my chest. And it feels right. 

Anyway that's a summation of my perspective. Cheers.

really do you have an example?

Sure. There's a channel called PRECIOUS TESTIMONIES (yeah, in all caps). It's this simple and well-meaning old guy who compiles testimonies of visions that he sees on Youtube. Look it up.

And indeed, that Christianity should draw the simple people to it just as it has drawn so many scientific and artistic geniuses throughout the centuries; I'll add that to my list of pro-Christianity arguments. There's just something about Christianity.
