The short answer.
1 Absolutely
2. Of course not, some roads lead to other religions, some to the Devil, some to none. You have knowledge, wisdom and discernment as gifts from God to recognize the true, from the false.
3. God created perfection, Original Sin ruined perfection. We have de-evolving away from perfection ever since.
4. Yes, and no. Jesus is God, but was also man. God is 3 parts in 1. The Father, The Son and The holy Spirit.
5. In eternity, there is no time. God is fair, and will not judge those that have not heard the word. We do not know when judgment will be, so there is still time for The Word to be spread to all the world.
6. Absolutely. You cannot havefree will, without right and wrong. Animals do not have free will, they act like animals, as they are programmed without regard to good or evil. Men make choices, sometimes the wrong ones. God, as our Creator gave us the rules to follow. Creator, free will, and the distinction betwen good and evil must go together. You cannot have 1, without the other 2.
7. Here you are wrong. There has been no war started on account of Christianity. The Crusades were started on account of Islam, which destroyed Christianity and Judaism in the Holy Lands, and then began expanding throughout Europe. The Crusaders went as a defense group and also as a force to reoccuppy the Holy Lands to make them safe for non-Muslims again. The Ireland troubles were a political problem, where the religion issue was at best secondary. And it is a stretch to call that a war.
Has there been death caused by Christians. Yes, even Christians are imperfect. But never has there been a group of Christians that got together, and started a war against non-Christians, for only the sake of Christianity.
So, if you are really looking for answers, I hope this helps. If you're one of those just in it for the responese...well
Anyway, Good Luck to you on your journey..

1.) God exists within the subjective mental experiences of believers. God does not exist within objective physical reality.
2.) Not all religions lead to God. Some religions (Buddhism and Taoism, for example) have no Godheads.
3.) There is evil and suffering because Christianity's God can only effect the subjective opinions of believers. Because He is only a philosophical concept, God is utterly powerless to influence physical outcomes.
4.) If Jesus ever actually existed -- and there is no contemporaneous evidence that He did -- he was simply a quite ordinary human being. The Immaculate Conception is biologically impossible and was invented by the Catholics, hundreds of years after the fact.
5.) People who never heard about Jesus will be blessed -- blessed with a happy, peaceful , and productive life that is simply impossible if one pretends reality revolves around the ignorant superstitions of our ancient ancestors.
6.) Yes, there really is a difference between right action and wrong action. Each person is responsible for maintaining their own integrity and morality. The wishes of imaginary deities are irrelevent.
7.) Religious wars seem to be indigenous to all human cultures. It is my fervent hope that the rise of science in the last few hundred years will continue and eventually lead to the demise of superstitious religion. This should eliminate the perpetual cycle of violence caused by the persistent belief that one's neighbors are worshipping the wrong God, the wrong way.

1. Yes
2. No, not the true God. Only one religion does. Ps. 83:18 tells God's real name - Jehovah.
3. Satan is the cause of most of it. He wants everyone to die and he wants God to kill them. 1 John 5:19; Satan is the ruler of this world.
4. No, there are many scriptures to show that Jesus and Jehovah are two separate persons.
5. 1 Samuel 16:7 says " . . . For not the way man sees [is the way God sees], because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is.” So God can read hearts, he knows who is a good person and who is not. Jehovah's Witnesses are preaching diligently in 236 lands and nations. Literature has been translated in 437 languages around the world. Not many people haven't heard of us.
6. Yes, the Bible shows us what is right and what is wrong.
7. Matthew 24:7 - Wars were foretold as part of the signs of the last days. And there are some Christians that totally refuse to go to war and kill others, even if it means they are thrown in prison or killed themselves.

1. Depends; mostl religions claim that there is a God.
2. No; religions such as Wicca have a Goddess, or in other cases The Devine.
3. How would we destinguish good and pleasure, if there was no evil and suffering? In that case, whould there be good at al??
4. No; Jesus is God's son. Jesus was sent by God to save people on Earth.
5. They will probably hear about some other savior, such as Mohammad...or just die without that knowledge
6. There is basically right and wrong more in the etiquette sense of the phrase...I mean we mostly aknowledge killing another person, for example, as wrong. But, how about killing animals? We vegetarians believe that its wrong...but other people justify themselves as needing the meat to survive.
7. Yes, well there have been many people in history who have waged war 'in the name of Christianity', but it was (in almost all cases) at a time that the certain ruler though that the religion was threatened to crumble, so it was basically for the sake of keeping Christianity going..(in a manner of speaking.)

1. Does God exist?
-> probably not (imho)
2. Do all religions lead to God?
-> No (see wikipedia) it's just a set of beliefs, religion is a very general word.
3. If God is good, why is there evil and suffering?
-> Good question...
4. Is Jesus God?
-> I believe he was just a remarquable guy that could convince a lot of people in his time... He must've had something charming. Also note that Hitler could convince a whole generation of Germans (amongst others).
5. What will happen to those who never hear about Jesus?
-> They will never hear about Jesus. End of story :D
6. Is there really right and wrong?
-> Yes. Try reading something about Rawls. Really interesting!
7. What about all the wars that have been caused in the name of Christianity?
-> Never start a war in the name of a religion. General rule: never mix religion and politics.

1. Does God exist? In my opinion, no.. But I can't prove or disprove that, and neither can the next guy,.
2. Do all religions lead to God? I think most relegions lead to some sort of supreme being, either God or Allah or whatever.
3. If God is good, why is there evil and suffering? To me, it's because there is no God. It's just the way life is. To others, they could say God doesn't give them anymore than they handle and we need trials to strengthen us. I see it as a way with coping with the fact that some of us fly through life, and some of us can't make it.
4. Is Jesus God? No. I don't think anyone thinks that. He's is the "son of God"
5. What will happen to those who never hear about Jesus? Problem the same to those that never hear about Einstein. He was just a good person who influenced a lot of people
6. Is there really right and wrong? Yes. It's wrong to kill, ect. I believe in following the laws of soceity. Although I don't consider broken laws as sin.
7. What about all the wars that have been caused in the name of Christianity? What about them? It just goes to show relegion is a major downfall of soceity. It causes too much discrimination.

1) Yes
2) No
3) Because we live in a fallen world that is cursed due to sin
4) Yes
5) The Bible teaches that the entire world is without excuse and therefore, anyone, who is saved, has only been saved by the mercy, grace, and substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ alone. I do not claim to know all of the ways that God can get His message to all the nations of the world but His Word claims that all nations will hear and have opportunity to trust Christ.
6) Yes there is absolute right and absolute wrong and the Bible is the standard by which we measure right from wrong.
7) The Bible teaches that man has committed many things under the banner of God and Christianity that are absolutely an abomination to the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 No, the is no evidence that any god exists.
2. No, many religions have substantially different approaches, dogmas, teachings etc, this shows that there is not a common author. (Not to mention that many of them are exclusive, i.e. our belief or none at all).
3 Imaginary things have no effect on the world, at least not directly.
4. No, if Jesus actually existed, he would not have been a god.
5. The same thing that faithfully believe, they will cease to exist.
6. Absolute right and wrong, probably not, otherwise it depends on your moral system. There seem to be a commonality of right and wrong across social creatures.
7. Actually there are very few wars that actually were religious in cause. Many have used religion as an excuse.
