God
God loves every one of us with a deep, enduring, eternal love. I say this because God is a perfect parent and a perfect parent loves all of his or her children equally.
If God loves all of us, we should also endeavor to love all people as they are created in the image of God.
The scientific theory of evolution (long considered scientific fact) strongly suggests that the Bible isn't meant to be a collection of true stories to be verified but rather a collection of stories meant to enlighten people. The parts about Jesus are the literally true parts in my opinion.
Christianity has the strongest foundation of any religion in my opinion because 4 different authors give different accounts of Jesus' life and because Jesus said he is God. The accounts are consistent with one another but not identical. If the authors got together and made it up you would expect the accounts to be identical.
God hears all of our prayers but chooses which ones to answer. Every prayer has to be considered in the way it affects everyone which is why not all prayers are granted. So when a prayer isn't answered you shouldn't conclude there is no God but rather that God chose not to answer the prayer for whatever reasons.
