So you were drunk and heard a voice. That's not a miracle. What about all the Christians who are drunks and never get that voice? I guess you were special.
Also, your friend was irreligious but called you to go to church.

Since when do chiropractors have X-ray machines? Needless to say, they are not real doctors. They are quacks who use pseudoscience.

That is the god of the Bible, alright. Thousands of people die of starvation every day, but he sends some well-fed guy tax returns and pays his food bills.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
