["If you cut yourself, do you clean the wound and put a bandage on it? Or do you expect God to stop the bleeding for you?"]
You've got me laughing now! - I often work in shorts and a T-shirt, and get cut up by brush and sharp rocks all the time, and never do anything about it until the end of the day when I have to wash up to look civilized. I've never gotten any infections from cuts of scrapes that are left to bleed - ever.
["I guess you never heard the phrase God helps those who help themselves."]
It's a lie from the pit of hell. That is diametrically opposite from what the word tells us.

You work in shorts and a T-shirt ? Don't you realize those are articles of clothing from the pit of hell and thus diametrically opposite from what the word tells us? And they're probably made from mixed fabrics, too--so damned!
If you cut yourself, do you clean the wound and put a bandage on it? Or do you expect God to stop the bleeding for you?
Lend you my lightsaber, I will. If believe you so strongly, your penis, cut off, and grow it back, trust in god to.
So, your defense is that you act like a moron, and you haven't died yet? One can ride around tied to the front of a bus for a long time without suffering any ill effects, but that doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do.
If he was true to his word, he would just lie around waiting for food flying into his mouth, angels wiping him, maybe rain against his thirst (not to forget the occasional beer shower).
A scrape or a nick is not the same thing as, say, a sever laceration. I'm pretty sure opening an artery and letting God take over wouldn't be the best idea.
Editor-Surveyor, no matter what anyone tells you, keep doing what you're doing. If you get a wound that turns gangrenous, then you just need to pray harder.
Joke that brilliantly demonstrates the "God helps those who help themselves" concept:
If we were to believe the Editor´s last assertion, there would be no need for having left the caves. Or having lived in the caves, to begin with. If the man is powerless in the hands of God, the development of history is false and inexplicable, the way we know it at least. Or sin. After all, if a man can´t do anything for itself, it´s useless to call for responsability on his part, which is part of the sin.
"Editor-Surveyor is an idiot, but the guy who came up with the question to him wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, either."
And now, a rousing chorus of this uber-masculine individual's theme song:
Everything is always so fucking dramatic with fundies.
It's not just a misconception (in his somewhat skewed world view), it's a lie from the pit of hell that will rape your dead mother's eye socket and nut on your wife.
To be fair, the often used quote, "God helps those who help themselves" does not appear anywhere in the bible. In that sense, Editor-surveyor is more aware than the numerous fundamentalists who trot out this quote to "prove" that Jesus does not want them to help poor people.
Wasn't there someone, in the early days of germ hypothesis, who drank a whole glass of TB or small pox or something, to prove that the germ hypothesis was false, and never got sick from it?

Ah, yesssss, The Adversary. In the form of a serpent.
ES: I'm an atheist, and I've never had any cuts or nicks get infected, either. All that proves, is that you and I have stronger than average immune systems.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
