"How do you know that Bible is the word of God, and not just some made up mysticism?" They can't prove it is the word of God. They take it on Faith.

Then by your own scenario you can't prove that the Bible isn't the word of G_d. You take it on "faith" yourself that it isn't. Does that make you more or less intelligent.

If you have to believe in things until you can disprove them then you have to believe in anything you can imagine until it is disproven. Prove to me that Donald Duck does not live at the center of the sun. You can't. See how silly that line of thinking looks?

Then why are you thinking like that?

I think your proving his point that religion requires you to supress your intellect

I think you're proving that you can't spell either. So much for intellect.
