You don't like "snippets," you say -- then you write messages the length of essays, which would require me to respond in an essay of double length, if I didn't cut to the relevant.
So you really have two options: be short,and maybe use more, shorter messages to get your points across (I recommend one major point per post, for readability's sake for others) or get used to snippets. There's no alternative on a forum like this. It's not fair to people to get too lengthy. Understandably, nobody wants to read messages here that are too lengthy and have no concise point.
So I'm going to take the liberty of choosing the most relevant issues here. You may not prefer that, but everybody else does, I assure you.
First, to respect your complaints...

But in order to believe in a God, the God, my God, I need others to take Him here:
1] a demonstrable proof of the existence of your God or religious/spiritual path
You have, at the minimum, the very "evidence" you demanded -- that you know as certainly as you "know" the Pope is in Rome, that you know God exists.
You say that the way you "know" that the Pope is in Rome is by the testimony of others -- for you say you have not been there yourself.
Yet others also declare their knowledge of God, and tell you that He exists. I would be one of those, but so would all the writers of the Bible, and millions of other Christians and Jews.
So the standard you said you wanted has been fully met. What do you want now?
2] addressing the fact that down through the ages hundreds of Gods and religious/spiritual paths to immortality and salvation were/are championed...but only one of which [if any] can be the true path. So why yours?
Well, it's not "mine," in the sense that I didn't invent it; it's only "mine" in the sense that among all these, I chose it.
I invariably find that people who speak of "hundreds of religious paths" and such have investigated either very few or none of them. So it seems odd that they want to assert this as a problem. I don't think it's nearly the problem you imagine it to be.
Compare them, and you'll find out which path is really rational, moral and truthful. I suggest you start by considering carefully the life of Jesus Christ, and compare him to any other religious figure you choose. You will know when you do that. And it won't take you long.
3] addressing the profoundly problematic role that dasein plays in any particular individual's belief in Gods and religious/spiritual faiths
Well, that is a problem: "dasein," for you, has no meaning. You say you're not using Heidegger's version, or anybody else's -- it's your own, you say. So nobody but you knowns what you mean by "dasein." When I asked, you, yourself were unable to tell me what your definition of it is.
Absent that, nobody can even know what it is you're asking...
If I understood your question, there's a very good chance I could respond to it. But it's not at all clear to me what your concealed meaning is.
4] the questions that revolve around theodicy and your own particular God or religious/spiritual path
You'll have to tell me which "questions" you mean. "Revolve around" doesn't tell me much.
...down to this:

Haven't I made it abundantly clear what I want? I want to believe in the existence of a loving, just and merciful God who will grant me immortality and salvation on the other side of the grave.
That's the God we have.
But you don't seem to want that, after all. Because He's provided all that already, and you don't want what he is offering.
From my frame of mind, he hasn't a clue as to how to respond substantively to the points I raise.
God doesn't?
Or I don't?
If it's God, that's an amusing thought. If it's me, I've just responded above. So either way, it seems you spoke too soon.
Now, if I've missed or "snippeted out" a point you thought was important, how about putting it again, but this time in one message per point, so we can go back and forth on it in a way that everybody can follow?
