I'll answer some of them.
1. No
2. No, because God doesn't exist.
3. There is evil and suffering because of human nature and events beyond our control.
4. Jesus, if he existed, is a dead guy.
5. People who never hear about Jesus will probably not become Christians.
6. Right and wrong are judgements of people by other people.
7. Not many wars are caused by religion, including Christianity. Most are caused by political differences, power struggles, land grabs, and so on. However, most are made worse by religious differences. The Bosnian conflict is a good example.

1. Yes God exists. He keeps the universe running. 2. no, there is only one true religion that is defined in the Bible. 3. God allows suffering because that is where we gain our strength to endure. God does not cause evil. Evil comes from those who choose to be that way. 4. Jesus is most definately God the Son. 5. It is up to Christians to spread the gospel, but for those who would never hear it, all the need to do is to look around them and they would know that a higher power created this world. 6.Yes there is right and wrong. 7. Religious wars are caused by people, not by God. If everyone were Christians as God would have us to be, there would be no wars at all.

1. Yes
2. No
3. Long answer but to make it short because of mankind's sins separated us from God and corrupted our nature. Plus mankind does wicked things and hurts people. Like if a man raped a woman for instance.
4. Yes
5. God will deal justly with them. Some say they will be given a chance to hear the Gospel, but I don't know if that is the case or not.
6. Yes.
7. Just because something is done in the name of Christianity or God or Jesus does not mean God or Jesus or Christians approve of it.
Example:
Bob kills some classmates.
He screams, "You aholes deserve to die! Praise be to Rama lama ding dong!"
Ok so two options.
1) We assume Rama lama ding dong approves of Bob's behavior.
2) We read and find out if Rama lama ding dong really approves of it or does not.
Most people with the Lord choose #1.
They do not read the Bible and find out that Jesus would never approve of nor did He command us to do any such things.
We were commanded to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us and despitefully treat us...not to blast out their brains.
