Faith is not entirely something that is based off a lack of evidence. Christians believe they have a complete enough understanding to make a choice- it would be like if you chose between two pieces of software for your work. You are given enough info (price & features) about both of them, but you're not allowed to use it before you buy it (my analogy here can't be extended to faith, I am trying to make a point here about choices). You have complete enough info to decide, but you don't have a complete understanding of how the software actually works or what its like to use it.

For a Christian the Bible gives an abudantly clear choice, so you cannot say people aren't given enough info. The Bible says that there is no one "good enough"; the one exception is Jesus Christ- he was good enough, yet did not recieve what the good person deserved. Jesus took what the bad person deserves.

If you want to argue from your perspective you cannot present all of these "what-if's" or saying that what the Bible presents is incorrect (that is not proper logic). Christians have the assumption that the Bible is correct, so there is no way you could argue to say that its inaccurate or provide all of these scenarios where a circumstance occurs against the Bible's assumptions.

If you feel there is something in the Bible that does not line up logically you may present it (though know that we believe anything and everything can be reasoned or reconciled in Scripture). There is no purpose in generating new "what if this", "what if that"- it doesn't really further a compelling argument against Christianity. You are assuming it's wrong, but not explaining why you think that (I haven't taken my logic class yet, so I can't name the logical fallacy).

If your only intention is try to dissuade us from what we believe, without making any actual argument you are wasting your time. If you can't make a proper or productive argument than I would ask you don't post here further.
