no its pretty amazing, if you look to the bible, you will find all your answers there. Not Christians but the bible, Gods word. Though we may not understand everything, it is/was meant to happen.
If one types "the answer to life, the universe, and everything" into Google (without the quote marks), one will receive the answer 42 by Google calculator.The number of generations in the Gospel of Matthew's version of the Genealogy of Jesus
The number of months the Beast will hold dominion over the Earth (Revelation 13:5)
In the ancient Chinese text the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu, chapter 42 is an explanation of the universe
The number of men of Beth-azmaveth in the census of men of Israel upon return from exile (Ezra 2:24)
God sends bears to maul 42 of the youths who mock Elisha for his baldness (2 Kings 2:23)
There are 42 principles of Ma'at
The number of lines on each page of the Gutenberg Bible, the oldest surviving book printed with movable type
42 is the number of lines in the Ancient Philosophy of Nasadiya Sukta from the Rig Veda which coincidentally gives an insight into the creation of universe.

Its funny that your last sentence is actually a verse from the Bible speaking of unbelievers. My faith is hardly blind. Seriously meditate on the following verses and perhaps the Holy Spirit will reveal in your heart who is really blind here. You may have 20/20 with your physical eyes, but God looks at the spiritual heart. Every verse here is referring to spiritual blindness. Unbelievers often think we are hypocrites because we don't always have the perfect answer they are looking for without understanding that Christians still sin and are not all spiritual giants. Look to your own salvation and be less critical of others who don't always have the answers you seek.
Isa 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way they knew not; I will lead them in paths they have not known; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. I will do these things to them, and not forsake them.
Isa 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in deserted places like dead men.
Mat 15:14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Luk 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me; because of this He has anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and new sight to the blind, to set at liberty those having been crushed,
Luk 6:39 And He spoke a parable to them: Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch?
Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, I have come into this world for judgment, that they who do not see might see, and that they who see might be made blind.
Joh 9:40 And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, Are we also blind?
Joh 9:41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin. But now you say, We see. Therefore your sin remains.
Rom 2:19 and persuading yourselves to be a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness;
2Pe 1:9 For he in whom these things are not present is blind and cannot see afar off and has forgotten that he was purged from his sins in the past.
Rev 3:17 Because you say, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,
God Bless You, He loves you sooo much.

Many of the answers you give are ones you'd get from false Christianity teaching "commands of men as doctrines." (Matthew 15:9) Others, however are 100% accurate. You just don't believe the Bible, therefore Bible-based answers don't make sense to you. To believe anything the Bible says, you must first believe that there is a God. You obviously don't.

The problem for unbelievers is they neither understand nor want to do what God says. The Bible does no good in the hands of people that arent ready to submit to or learn from God.

These blind followers feel they need this in their lives, because they have no confidence in themselves to find spiritual strength on their own. Instead they turn to the priests, ministers, and elders in these mainstream religious organizations, because they feel that they are very learned spiritual experts. In a sense they are, but they are mostly "company men" being paid to give their form of guidance to these poor lost individuals.

I wouldn't classify ALL CHRISTIANS in that category. I don't think murder is god's will, for example. I actually agree with most of the examples you came up with, which by the way are alot of examples, it made me smile. Everyone gotta believe something, or whatever helps them sleep at night.

1Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Clearly, you are a natural man, not a believer.

Why does it bother you that Christians believe something that you don't? Why can't you just accept that Christians believe in certain things that you don't and leave it at that? Who are you to criticize?
Grow up, and try to be a bit more tolerant.
