So, because I question everything and a lot of what's in the bible, God will punish me for not believing blindly what's in the bible?

The biggest mistake that religious people make is that, they make God in their own image instead of the other way around. We make God to be full of foibles, just like us. No human is perfect, but God acts in the same way as us, according to what's written about Him. God possesses the same faults that we do, according to what's written. God is a vengeful being, just because we use our brains to question everything. If that's the case,why did God even bother to give us brains? Why not just make us into brainless creatures who would not be able to question anything?

It's comments such as yours that turn people away from believing in what's n the bible. No superhuman being, with the powers of a God, would be caught acting as the frail humans that we are. Try thinking a questioning everything, and perhaps then, you'll be closer to understanding why God make us the way we are.
