[Why won't God heal amputees?]
I'm sure God COULD if He wanted to, but why? Many people I know who are disabled have faith stronger than I do, simply because they must depend on God more than the average person would have to. If they were healed, they might lose that strength. Everything happens for a reason, and God gave them that disability for a specific reason, even if we can't see what it is with our human frailities

I have been crippled by MS for the past three years. If your god gave me this for a specific reason, it backfired completely. Your fictitious old sky-fart can just can go fuck himself, as far as I'm concerned!
What would increase one's faith more than God regrowing your missing limb for you? We have a winner.
Papabear for the win!higher plan , but because he isn't there.

Why would a loving God give anyone a disability? Arguing that it suits some mysterious purpose is bunk. Your God is supposed to be all powerful, and yet he can't come up with some better way to impart his lessons than by harming someone? Once again you're making your God look either very cruel, or very limited and why would anyone want to follow a God like that?
Hell, if someone grew a leg back over night, I'd start praying. Not to the your god, because as the OT demonstrates, he's still an arsehole, but definitely a god.
Once again the christian idea of, “God tortures us because he loves us.”
Somehow I find it hard to believe that someone's belief in god would decrease after they were miraculously cured of their crippling disability.
If something happens that looks to us like a sign from God, then it proves that God is real. Praise!
So, Jesus, healing all those people, was straying them from God?, or was he granted priviledges, according to your logic?
Please,god,please--if you exist, prove it to me by letting gatorgal lose both legs, both eyes and about half her scalp in a car wreck. I'll become a nun, I swear.
If God was going to give them the disability for some nebulous reason known only to him, why did he let them enjoy having the limb, only to take it away? Not having the limb is the point, right? Seems kind of mean, losing something is worse than never having it to begin with.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
