Edit: I'm going to amend my statement above to make it easier for you to answer, since I wouldn't want you to think you're having to admit to God existing:

"For argument's sake the assumption is, should God exist..." (And then my question below should follow.)

Therefore, would it not seem reasonable for God to provide humans with good reason to believe what Christianity claims if indeed he expects their belief in those claims?

I am not asking you if you believe there are good reasons to believe (I can deal with that later), but whether or not it is logical and rational for man to expect God to provide good reasons for men to believe.

I know you understand what I am asking here.
Good grief, I do... But you are missing my point! This is all fantasy to me. "Assume god exists..." Well, I could also say "Assume pigs can fly, then would they fly in formation or singly"? You are making a massive assumption that for you makes sense, but to me is no different than assuming pigs can fly! What possible point is there in me guessing what some made-up supernatural creature would do? I am not a writer of fantasy novels!

OK, here is a fantasy answer. The actions of an all-knowing all-seeing supernatural creature would be well beyond all thought, rational and irrational, created by puny human brains. We could never know.

They do admit themselves to yes or no answers. Besides, I did allow room for further commentary should you feel it necessary. But your comments are mute at this point since you have yet to answer to the fundamental question.
I have answered your questions but in ways you did not like. Maybe you just don't see it but you are making GIANT assumptions, implicit and explicit, and getting frustrated because I just can't accept them! The difference here is clear: you see your faith as obvious as the sun rising tomorrow, I don't. Your questions are, once again, fantasy situations with no relevant answers!

There is nothing wrong with faith itself (although the consequences are devastating). If you CHOOSE to assume that god exists, fine. If you choose not to, fine. But please, try to see the question from a viewpoint not so invested in the "proper" answers.
