You have to be braindead to think that you, an online incel, are just so enlightened to the "truth" of atheism after tens of thousands of people 100x smarter than you have spent the last 2,000 years examining every single aspect of the faith and debating every part of it to death and back again, and all of them continued to hold to their faith until their deaths, leading extremely holy and worthwhile lives as a result.
The only ignoramus here is you.
That's not an argument. I literally showed you the bible makes provably false claims.
Again you're making a provable false claim in order to continue believing lies. You're insinuating intelligence is positively correlated with religiosity. You can lookup any study on the subject, and find that religiosity is negatively correlated with intelligence. In other words, the more intelligent you are the less likely you are to be religious.
If there were so many "debates" on the subject as you claim, you'd be able to find some argument that coherently explains Mark 11:24. And all of the other provable false claims the bible makes, but I don't want to confuse you so I'm focusing only on one. There are essays written on the subject, and the kind of mental gymnastics you have to go through to continue believing provable, and testable false claims is laughable.
But I'll give you a rundown of a mental gymnastic that's popular with christians that read the bible, but still want to believe despite it making false claims over and over. (Link below)
In this episode of Pray the Word on Mark 11:24, David Platt calls us to a life of confident prayer according to God’s Word.

Essentially, Christians believe that if you are a christian you'll want the world to change in ways that god wants it to change. Then you'll ask god for what he wants the world to be and he'll change the world to be like that.
This is a cleaver bit of mental gymnastics that people who really want to believe came up with, but it's not clever enough. The problem is, it's testable false.
If this were true, you'd be able to predict cancer survival rates by asking christians if they want people to die. Or at least predict some of the survival rates, asking christian believers, if they desire any of those with cancer to survive. Sure you could do more mental gymnastics, and say that there are so few people that are actually christian, that you can't use christian desires to predict events in this way. But the continued mental gymnastics starts to get ridiculous.
A lot of the time people leave Christianity and go to Wokeism, or some other belief set with provable false claims because most people aren't equipped to protect themselves from false beliefs. People jump from one false belief set to another.
But I'm going to equip anyone who's reading this for one way to find beliefs that have a greater chance of being true:
Any belief should restrict which experiences to anticipate, to be potentially useful and thereby pay rent and earn its keep in your mind, so to speak. If a belief does not affect what you anticipate experiencing—if the world would look exactly the same whether the belief is true or whether it is...
