Hi Michelle. Is everyone who claims to be a Rocket Scientist a Rocket Scientist? If not, why do you think everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian?

The burden is on whomever is making a truth claim, and Rhythm made several of them.

I don't know about you, but I had no say on whether I was born or not. Assuming what you say is true and god does exist, why wasn't I given the option of participating in his fucked up experiment of whether I end up believing or not?
How do you know He didn't ask you? Even if He didn't, does God not have the right to adjudicate His Creation as He pleases? If not, what gives man the right to do what he does on planet Earth (or anywhere)?
Once death entered into the world, it became a fact of life for all of us. Just like how the generations prior to ours have screwed up a lot of things on Earth. However, in regards to fairness, God is still able to offer you the same opportunity he offered to Adam and Eve. He isn't limited by our sins.
Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
