#9 is the one I have the biggest issue with. When I was in my transition stage from a Christian to an Atheist I looked long and hard for evidence of miracles and found nothing.
I looked everywhere I could think of on the Internet. I asked many many Christians if they witnessed any miracles. What I found out was most of them consider common explainable things to be miracles. One of them told me that his bff had a heart attack and was in bad shape. He rubbed some holy oil on him and in a few days the doctors said he was going to make it. He really believes God did a miracle. I asked him if his buddy had his hand cut off would rubbing oil on the nub make it grow back. He was literally speechless for a minute but finally answered yes if he had enough faith. I replied by asking him why this has never happened. Why is there nobody out of the billions of people on the earth that has enough faith to do an outwardly visible miracle?
I have another one. My son fell asleep at the wheel late at night and wrecked his car. He didn't get hurt but the car was fucked. Someone told me that God controlled the car and kept him from getting hurt. I asked why God has to do everything half assed? Why didn't God just wake him up before he wrecked. That would have taken less effort on his part.
