I try not to question God too much. I was raised Calvinist, so I think that if you're a Christian, its because God chose to save you from Hell on earth and Hell in the afterlife. Its a gift that nobody deserves. I believe in the Westminster Confession the phrase they use is something like "God saved us for His good pleasure."
Anyway, I understand that many doubt and some turn away from the faith. I personally find going to the New Testament, from the Gospels on to Jude (I don't do Revelations just yet) is inspiring. The miracles of the Gospel, the basics of Christianity as laid out by Paul...its all so beautiful.
