Do you know of arguments that help prove that Christianity is true? Any sources? Other than that the Bible says so or that his followers believed him?

What if Christianity is wrong? What if another religion is right? What if no religion is right?
I can’t help but think about hell… I’m not sure if it’s real but if it is… Well there are different criteria that might send me there depending on the religion. For example I might be a Christian, but if Islam is true and I have heard about it but still rejected it… I am going to hell. If I am atheist and “reject Christianity” and Christianity is true then I’m going to Christian hell.
The Christian view of hell seems really horrible. If God is really loving why won’t he just make us cease existing rather than send us to eternal punishment which seems to be a lot worse. It also doesn’t seem like freedom because God is basically scaring is into believing or doing what he wants. If we don’t follow the rules, even if they don’t make sense- well we might go to hell. So better follow the rules… It’s not like God couldn’t give us other options besides “hell”
 
It breaks God’s heart to have to send us to hell, he hates to do it. But, those who chose to reject him deserve to be punished. Free will allows to choose heaven or hell. It does not mean that God his not loving if he sends someone to hell. But, if a person grows up ignorant and nobody tells them the truth, that’s a different story. God will judge based on a person’s conscience.
 
Well, first off, Hell is non-denominational. Did that help ?
 
No other religion claims that God himself entered human history. No other religion has its founder killed, the inner circle of followers killed, many of its followers for 300 years killed, and not only grow but become universal.
 
Well the ancient pagan religions did have their God’s enter the world. Also there is a story in mythology in which a God sent his son to save the humans. So not a new idea. Also what you state might set Christianity apart from other religions, but it doesn’t prove it is true
 
And this is why faith is a gift.
If one follows your logic, then everything can be doubted, nothing is true except one’s own existence.
 
Well one can choose to believe in anything. Just because one believes in something doesn’t make it true. I have no reason to believe that my faith is anymore true than someone else who has a different faith than me. I need some logic otherwise I can just choose to believe in any religion

Why one OR the other? Why not both faith and reason? Together they are peaceful.
