John's Gospel presents a challenging and critical portrait of the disciple Thomas. In John 11:16, Thomas did not believe Jesus would raise Lazarus. In John 14:3-6, Thomas again showed doubts. Then in John 20:25, Thomas would not believe that Jesus had risen. Luke reports that Jesus appeared just once and to all eleven disciples, then took them out towards Bethany, where he rose up bodily to heaven on the evening of his resurrection. Johnhas elaborated this, having Jesus appearing to only ten of the disciples on the evening of his resurrection and breathed on them, giving them the Holy Spirit. Eight days later, Jesus appeared to all eleven disciples at a meal in the same room, but Thomas at first showed doubt. Another important difference is that Thomas had missed out on receiving the Holy Spirit.
Elaine Pagels sees this thread of anti-Thomas narrative in John's Gospel as intended to refute the beliefs of the Thomas Christians in the early part of the second century. On this view, no one really doubted the risen Jesus. The change from Luke's Gospel was simply made to diminish Thomas as a faithful disciple.

What did God say when Moses doubted His ability to feed the Israelites?
God said, "Will the hand of God then be seen to be lacking? Now you will see if My word will be fulfilled or not" (Numbers ch.11). It should be noted that Moses didn't doubt God's ability in the simple sense. In the very next chapter, God gives Moses the highest of praise, clearly indicating that Moses hadn't doubted Him. Rather, Moses doubted God's willingness to perform an open miracle for the entire nation. Food can almost always be procured by one natural means or another (the Israelites had plenty of livestock, as evidenced in Numbers ch.32); and it is a general rule that God isn't quick to abrogate the natural laws which He Himself had created. Besides, the Israelites had manna to eat; so the grumbling about meat was not a matter of survival.

Did Mother Teresa denounce religion or God?
She didn't exactly denounce it as much as she doubted her faith, doubted god, and questioned that her life was a lie. She frequently wrote about her lost faith in God, and about how sad she was under the smile. Many dozens of her letters were published a few years ago, as she was dying. She asked her church to destroy the letters, but they refused.
