20. The bible is full of questions that can never be answered, and answers that can never be questioned.

The bible is full of contradictions and unresolved problems with science and math. God didn't know about pi.

If you can produce some evidence of god that I can examine; or present me with "evidence" that this god intervened in anything, then you will have something, but as of right now, you don't.

After being schooled by this peace loving god's word, why then did His minions replace science with superstition, burn libraries and murder scholars? Some were tortured to death. Believers were always really insecure lunatics.

Furthermore, nobody should expect "god" to solve any problems since he never has, even so, it might prove that he existed if he did. Science has solved all the problems. The bible couldn't even identify the problems.

It's god that is strong not man. It's "His" strength not your own. Leaning on His ability and not on your own. You replace self-reliance with God's ability. It's dependency on god. Self-confidence reduces to dependency on god. Try to kick the habit.

Acts 19:12 - So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Why would anyone need higher intelligence to wave handkerchiefs or aprons at sick people?

That's in the bible, but I'm going to the doctor if I get sick.
