Why won't God heal amputees?

Outstanding.



I bet you're twice as pedestrian as the dude in that picture.

I guess I really "walked " into that one.

Reporter: "Sir Paul,do you think you'll ever go down on one knee again?"

Sir Paul :"Her name is "Heather" "

well if God is 'omnipotent,' surely he would make it painless! or does he want his children to suffer???

This was quite an amusing thread!!!

Apparently god loves amputees. It's making more! Homemade!

I don't suppose too many choir boys will be sorry to see a bishop going limp.

The real question is "why don't amputees have enough faith to be healed by god?" I think the obvious answer is that faith originates in the limbs. Problem solved.

1. An omnipotent God would heal amputees.
2. Amputees are not healed.
3. Therefore, an omnipotent God does not exist.

Why would he? That's quite an assumption.

If he was not keen on amputees stumping it up all over the place this omnipotent god could simply prevent them from losing limbs in the first place. That seems a lot nicer than healing someone after they had lost a limb. They might be more grateful if you healed them, but that doesn't detract from the fundamental wankiness of letting this shit happen when you are able to stop it, thus proving that any god who actually exists is a cunt.

Good point...hadn't thought of that, though it seems blatantly obvious now.

But the faithful argue that if you have enough faith you will be healed, and the challenges of this world are to test our faith and true goodness in the face of adversity: not agreeing, just sayin'! Of course it's hard to have faith that god will regrow your limb, which is the supposed reason why this never happens (according to the religious). Though I do recall reading a story where a woman claims to have had her shortened leg regrow during a prayer service--I'll have to hunt this down: I think it was in Reader's Digest, and it was a former Miss America? Also my religious in-laws claimed to have prayed over a man w/ shortened limb and then heard the bones crack as it regrew to the correct length.

I once met a snake-handler who could, by the mere laying of hands, make an appendage grow to prodigious length and turgidity.

Coinicidentally, Im not an amputee, but I am missing an arm since birth...

I remember in High School, someones creepy ass old granny walked up to me and "God can heal you"... After a second I realizes she must be talking about my arm... and some televagelist shit...

I told her: No thanks, Im happy this way, I dont like "change"... then asked 'If I was create in God's image, does that mean God has one arm (that, or the mufucker is far from perfect! lol)???

Why can your faith healer make my arm grow but God couldnt??? Is your faith healer more powerful than God???

Obviously, the lady scurried away in a haste!

He could do that by merely laying his hands on a snake?!

No friction or choking of any kind employed on the snake?

Man, either that's one sensitive snake or boyfriend's got a magic touch.
