[Why doesn't God heal amputees?]
If Jesus had to endure till the end in all the pain it is still fair for him to allow us the same thing.

Wow...I wouldn't have thought Christ would be so bitter about everything, since he's what Christians want to emulate. But looking at fundie forums, since everyone's so bitter about atheists/liberals/whatever...
So a god who can do anything and who doesn't want us to suffer at all decided we would all be tortured forever unless his son/a part of him were tortured, and even then, he would torture some of us for a time, because he REALLY doesn't have to torture us and doesn't want to. If you say so.
This is actually a better answer than what some of them say. "Because amputation is not an illness", "because amputees are not worthy", "because you cant demand anything from god", "because he made them amputees for their own good", "because they don't need healing, they are still alive" ... the crap they put out for that question is amazing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jesus is said to have suffered several hours of intense pain. Big whup. Many, many people have endured years of intense pain.
An omnipotent, omniscient being supposedly suffering pain is hardly impressive. And what did Jesus really sacrifice? His human life? As an onmipotent deity he could have that back any time he wished. Hardly a big sacrifice.
Another point is that the suffering of amputees is *not* fair. If God supposedly cures cancers and blindness and other disabilities, why does he not cure amputations? God never does verifiable miracles.
More pain Sir, please...?
If you need to believe that myth...Jesus went to Jerusalem to die, willingly, because being bound to a living body was more of an impediment than an advantage in his line of work.

JC to the centurions: "Ya know, I'm a carpenter. Here's a tip...if you blunt the points of the nails, they won't split the wood."
Fundie and Race Supremacy forums exist aplenty.
I look at it this way, every community has to have a sewage system.
As for Yeshua Ben Miriam (aka Jesus), what happened to him also happened to 35000 others in that area. Do you remember any of them?
This was how the Romans "civilised" thier empire, then made up a bunch of cock-and-bull stories to point the finger of accusation elsewhere.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
