1. Does God exist?
In some people's heads, yes. I don't believe in God myself, but he exists in that other people think he does, so "he" has an impact on the world. You can't ignore the effect of an idea.
2. Do all religions lead to God?
To the God of their religion, yeah. If "God" is implying a set of good and humane values to live by, does it matter if there is a god? It's how we live life that's the important part, the exact inspiration doesn't matter.
3. If God is good, why is there evil and suffering?
Because people don't know how to mind their business.
4. Is Jesus God?
Nah, he was a historical figure. I've just been reading up on early church history. Fascinating stuff even for this person who doesn't like Christianity. I do like history though. :)
5. What will happen to those who never hear about Jesus?
They will be ignorant. Just like anyone is ignorant of things they haven't heard of.
6. Is there really right and wrong?
Sure. The whole "do unto others" thing is pretty popular in all religions. It's wrong to deliberately hurt people, whether that's physically or otherwise. We can't be right all the time because people are so different. I might be hurt by something you consider unworthy of mention, or vice versa. The best thing we can do is try to get it right.
7. What about all the wars that have been caused in the name of Christianity?
What about all the wars that have been caused by anything? Like I said, people ought to mind their business. Most wars seem to use religion as an inspiration (great for propaganda), but the underlying reasons are usually about something else. The price of oil, for instance.

1) I think that we are God. We are all part of what we think of as God. When we reach perfections (by returning to earth to learn) we will be united into one being.
2) Religion is a supernatural belief in a power that controls the universe
3)The God figure of the Christians allows us free choice so we get out selves into trouble with that free choice and create suffering . Good and evil are perceptions of the religious.
4) Jesus was a man attributed to be the son of God. But in his lifetime, he never claimed to be a God. His followers gave him that promotion.He said why do you call me God I am but a servant of God. But assuming such a person actually lived, he was truly a good person and understood life's values. (he is what I would call an old soul)
5) They will pass into the next realm of life's plan without that knowledge and continue on his learning path. And Jesus said he died for all our souls (and keep in mind that Jesus was a Jew teach to the Jews---not the non Jews)
6) I personally think that anything we do or say that hurts another person's soul is wrong and evil. We should live our lives so that what we do does not hurt or damage anyone else.
7)All wars have been the result of RELIGION, not all wars involved Christianity.
Well does that help or confuse you.

Start with #6. Yes there is a right and wrong. Is knowing what is wrong an inherent trait? No. What is considered wrong in one society is not necessarily wrong in another. The basic thing about killing and stealing is fairly basic and true everywhere.
The religion thing is universal as well. Every civilization has its own type of religion. They all have one center which is a supreme being. Is one religion better than another? No. They all work and achieve their intended goal. If you choose the religion that has Jesus, then that is okay. I does not mean somebody else is going to a bad place after death.
War in the name of religion is as old as the hills. It is the same thing as politics. It carries on the agenda of whoever is in power. The crusades is the first thing to come to mind. In the name of religion, the crusaders were able to destroy, rape and rob the people of different beliefs.
Religion also gives an inner strength to people who try and live a certain lifestyle in peace and righteousness. Those people are held in check by something that didn't come along for several thousand years. The threat of hell.

YES
NO
BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN EVERYONE SAME INTELLIGENCE AND FIGURES, BUT THEN IT'S ALL UP TO HUMAN WHAT THEY WANT TO BE AND HOW THEY WANT TO ACT.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE GOD, BUT EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF BELIEFS.
EVERYONE BELIEVES THAT THERE IS SOMETHING LIKE GOD, BUT WHO KNOWS THE NAME.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND # 6.
LIKE AS I SAID THAT EVERYONE THINK DIFFERENTLY. THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE WHERE PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT GOD IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
