You do realize that things cannot be wished into existence?  Because wishing that there were eternal life, for example, does not make it any more likely that there is a god ready and waiting to provide it.  

Second, I don't think Christianity promises let alone provides most of the things I see in this thread.  Which ones do you think are "within Christianity."

Mine is a good example of that, in that if Christianity were true, I could not have my wish.  (Of course, as you say, wishing does not cause things to happen, so I will not get my wish anyway [obviously], but my wish is completely incompatible with Christianity.)
