Religion is not about answering questions. Rather, it's about questioning answers.

I am pleased to say that my religion answered many questions that I had asked of others for decades. AND I was shown these answers clearly in the Bible. I am very pleased with my religion and I learn new things every week.

No, although, some questions are not easy to get answers for with my religion. But, that is human existence. We wanted things the way they are and we will have to use our human intelligence to get answers.
As humans we ask questions about so many problems of life. God has all the answers. We need to turn to God or His representatives to get answers.

Interesting question!
Yes because religion answers only on what you believe in. Outside of my belief is difficult to answer. Religion does not actually answer all the questions and even attempts to answer everything. What more if my belief is different from the asker.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

If any religion had all the answers, what would be the point of the journey to begin with? Where's the thrill and excitement when the outcome is written in stone?
I see all religions as mirrors of a path. I've found wisdom in every one I've ever studied, and I've seen inspiring words, but I've also seen a lot of metaphor that gets misinterpreted too often and can even be used to control others who will cling to a glimmer of truth without questioning. Honestly, how much of what I say tonight could anyone take as verbatim in 2,000 years? What about 6,000? Concepts may survive, and may serve as guides to people making their own path, but I certainly wouldn't want mine to be the trail they stick to. Mine will be blazed already, and will end at the suitable destination for me. I really wouldn't want people coming to my door asking where their room is... I'd want them to find a spot where they could build their own house. And even 500 years from now, my words wouldn't even exist anymore save for what people decided to conceptualize it as.
I'll gladly learn from any religion; I certainly hope it's not complete though. I need to explore for myself too, ya know?

There are many questions my religion does not answer, because that is not the point. Taoism does not claim to provide all possible knowledge of all things in the universe, only to recommend certain wisdoms to ease the way.

Yeah. Quite a few, actually. It isn't so much that it can't answer them as it isn't concerned with the question in the first place. Scripture talks very little about quantum chromodynamics, for instance. There's nary a peep about non-Euclidean geometries. It's coverage of engineering thermodynamics is just plain pathetic.
Scripture is not intended as a science textbook. Those who use it for that are going WAY out on that limb.

Religions don't answer questions they only create them.
