- This doesn't really invalidate any reliogion. As for the Bible having witches/sorcery, some Satanist do that type of magic. You'd have to prove that they can't.

- If you actually believed in the Bible, you wouldn't cherrypick things out of it.

- I think God gives everyone a chance to believe in him or not. There's plenty of atheist that were born in a Christian family.

 

- Occam's razor. The burden of proof is yours.

- If you are actually a literal believer, you support rape victims being forced to marry the people who raped them, among several other stupid, horrific and dated ideas.

-  Sure, but how many Christians were born in an atheist family? Far, far less I'd assume. And you can't say it's a coincidence that extremely few people in, say, Saudi Arabia are Christian despite being perfectly capable of making free choices like you and me. Birth place and especially upbringing plays a massive part in what religion people end up believing in. Parents do their best trying to send their kids to the same heaven as themselves, after all.

- Occam's Razor doesn't disprove the existense of sorcery. It just shows that the first reaction of people is going to be, "This guy is nuts.". As for me, I can't prove they exist, but I think there is a possibility that they do. If you are so sure they don't, based off of facts, show the evidence to support it instead of saying, "The most simple answer is usually correct."

- The Bible doesn't say that the rape victim has to marry the rapist necessarily. If the father doesn't approve, the rapist owes the virgin money (Exodus 22:16-17)

- Arguing about this one is a lost cause. I don't know why God does it, but he does say, "I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate me." So, basically, God has a (Good) reason for everything, but that doesn't mean he'll tell you the reason, and/or you won't understand it.
