Where Does God Say He'll Heal Amputees?

And you're gonna be dead a lot longer than you have lived.

True.

And religion tends towards making sure people's earthly lives are shorted, and of less value.

Fixed.

... what you think is of no value to me.

Well, fuck you too.  You come in to our forum, puke out your stupid opinions (as if they have value to us) and then plug your ears when they are challenged by anyone. 

Too bad it was your leg that was amputated and not your head, you condescending douche.

There was a time when I didn't believe. However, I love to learn.

But, I'm wise enough to not be drawn into defining what I believe specifically so you can attempt to tear it apart. Because I do believe, what you think is of no value to me.

  AKA, I can't answer and am too much of a coward to try.  So much for Leg's "faith".

My question, amputee, is why your god hated amputees so much before people like you could get multiple operations, c-limbs, etc?  Victorian era amputees had to deal with gangrene, death, wooden pegs (and their inevitable stump ulcers and infections0, little carts to scoot around in and there was no welfare or SSD for people to get to live on.  They were left to beg to live and die early.

You have it good now, considering.  And you of course I'm sure attack the very science that shows your god to be imaginary even as it saves your life.  How ignorant and hypocritical.

Legamputee....can you see the disconnect between those two statements?

I asked that as well, but he's not coming back. Defending his position is too hard. Funny that I and others have a feeling, but no proof, that this person wasn't an amputee at all. Who has a disability and uses that disability as their Nym?

So you did - but that was long ago, in another country (or at least on the previous page) - and besides, the wench ain't coming back.....

We scared her off with our brazen defiance of God.

What I said stands on its own, even as I do with the use of crutches. But there have been people commit suicide over the loss of a hand. There's no scale you can apply to disability.

Have you personally prayed for a new limb? If you have and did not receive it, then the question still stands: "Why won't God heal amputees?"

According to the Bible you put your faith in: "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:23).

No ambiguity there. Say it and have it; ask for it and receive it.

Why not try it and see? I'll wager that nothing will happen, not because of a lack of faith on your part but because there is no God there to answer your prayer.

If you really believe there is no god, and when we die we return to nothing? Then why not just leave people alone?

Because of all the atrocities that have been committed in the name of religion. Because of superstition that has tried to set the advancement of science back at every turn. To give people a sense of self worth, independent of belief in a transcendent sky daddy. I speak out against religion for the very same reason that so many people preach Christ - to set people free!
