How do I know God's real?
What makes me think that I am a Christian?
What distinguishes me from a Buddhist, Muslim, or any non-religious good man?
What is the evidence that Jesus exists?
What makes you feel loved by God?
How do I know that God is a living God?
God lives in me. 1 Corinthians 3:
Romans 8:
My Paraclete in me is the best subjective proof that I am a Christian. This is how I know that I am saved.
What is unique about Christianity?
The divine personal mystery of the Father and Son is not a human concept, and I don't think it was a concept invented by humans (the apostles). It reflects the transcendence and ineffability nature of the true God.
Is there any religion where God sent himself to die for people's sins, other than Christianity?
No. While other religions offer various paths to spiritual growth, moral improvement, or liberation, none share Christianity’s emphasis on a Father God who personally intervenes to redeem his creation by sending his one and only Son.
How do I know that someone is saved?
I can't know for sure unless specifically by a revelation. In the meantime, I can observe his behaviors and guess. Galatians 5:
I don't know about them. I can only sense my Paraclete/Spirit in me.
Do you ever consider the possibility that you only believe in God, because you're afraid of death?
Before I called myself a Christian, I didn't believe in the afterlife. I had a scientific worldview. If I died, that's the end of my existence. Even after I called myself a Christian, I do not quite believe in conscious torment over an infinite period of time. I have always been against hell-fire evangelism.

How do I know that God is a living God?
God lives in me. 1 Corinthians 3:
I can sense the Paraclete in me all the time. Whenever I focus on him, I feel peace no matter what is happening outside. I cannot deny the reality of the Paraclete in me.
Romans 8:
I have been born again.
My Paraclete in me is the best subjective proof that I am a Christian. This is how I know that I am saved.

What makes my experience with Jesus true, but the experience of others with their religion is fake?
I don't know about them. I can only sense my Paraclete/Spirit in me.
