Good questions and Anime7's answer was very good. I agree with him.
However, about this question: "Why are there so many rules that man must follow, or else be doomed to go to the Hell God allowed to be made?". There is a huge difference between the old and the new testament. The Old Testament is full of people being punished for not obeying God's laws, but the New Testament is full of stories about love and forgiveness.
In the New Testament, it is said many times that just believing in and loving Jesus is enough to be saved. The God's laws are still there and we're supposed to follow them, but we are no longer expected to be perfect.
I think God knew that the way humans are, they will never live up to all His expectations. Thus, to keep it short: Jesus died for our sins (symbolic act), and a new era began, so to speak.
Wouldnt an all knowing god have know the flaws of his creation at the beginning and at the very least have sent his loophole to die for our sins before drowning everyone?
Christians: If God is perfect then why...?

Just saying what came to my mind. :)
