So if god cares about humanity and our salvation, why do you suppose that he only revealed himself to some ancient middle eastern people? [Spirituality & Religion]

Why wouldn't he reveal himself to the different cultures and populations across the world? After all, this was a time when the world was much larger and the global dissemination of information was not only impractical but downright impossible.

So why don't we see diverse cultures all sharing a fundamental religion that could be recognized as christianity?

If god actually wanted to save all his humans, why do it in such an objectively ineffective way?

It isn't. There are many flood stories occurring in different parts of the world (surprise, turns out humans tend to settle around water) but they do not occur at the same time and so cannot be said to represent the biblical flood

@revenant The universal piece of the flood story is that just when large flood incidents have happened in the distant past, people there assumed the "world" was flooding when in reality, it was just their small piece of the world.
