Faith is the key. Hebrews 11: 'by faith...'; 'by faith...'; 'by faith...'.

Why are all of the arguments used to "prove" Christianity also used to prove basically every other religion?

All we need to do is provide evidence that the New Testament is historically trustworthy. God will not punish someone for not hearing the gospel unless they themselves, in their heart, succumb to the forces of evil.

Why doesn’t God communicate with us in ways that are more sensible and direct?

God doesn't need to. We think he needs to. At death we will each one be informed accurately about God's nature and plan; only then can we choose. All we have to go on is the subjective feeling that evil is bad; and that beauty and peace and love are good.

If God is all powerful, why doesn’t He just make it so that whatever makes us have to go to Hell isn’t necessary in the first place?

Everything that happens is God’s will, or can be made to fit His will, right? So how do dead babies make any [staff edit] sense?

God allowed Lucifer to dominate the Spiritual Realm for a time. This will end in the eternal utopian new heavens and new earth.

Studies have shown that intercessory prayer doesn’t work. The Bible says it does – Jesus says it does! – but it doesn’t.

A prayer doesn't cause an immediate miracle. Prayer is communication with God, nothing more, an expression of the desire of our heart.
