and my sins are my own fault... then how come people born in ghettos commit more crime than rich folk? Could it be there's more than free will to this thing, and that not "finding" a particular God could be centered in the society? I.E. There are not that many Christians in India or Japan. So how can god send them to hell if their choice of religion is based on a difference of society, and not directed by "free will?" Most people just accept their religions at birth...like the billions of Hindus in India and the billions of Christians in Europe. How can any God blame someone for being born into the "wrong" society.
Oh I know, the devil.

Because God is imaginary and people in poverty are more prone to personality disorders, and all representatives of god are delusional, or intentional liars, or both.

You need to revisit your questions, and by that I mean think them through more, do your homework. Your questions are based on what you think God does or might do.
For example:
How do you know people "in ghettos commit more crime..."? Are you positive the statistics are correct? If this is so, that poor people do more crime, God is certainly intelligent enough to take their environment into account.
Regarding the fact that many in the world are born into societies dominated by particular religions, God takes that in to account too. Read: Romans 1: 11 ("No partiality" means God does not favor one person over another with respect to their religion in judgment).
Also, Romans 1:14-16. This means those who have the Scriptures are expected to live according to them. Those without, are to obey the law of God written in their heart.
"How can any God blame someone for being born into the 'wrong' society." He doesn't.

everyone can RESIST society. Just as a child says no to broccoli or another food it doesn't like, similarly, a person can say no to the pressures and environment they don't like.
and you can't be born into Christianity. You have to either reject or accept Christ on your own. You can't cling to other's salvation.

all humans are prone to sin and error, but those who have not heard the Truth will be allowed a chance to repent and accept Salvation in the afterlife...
