Why does God hate Amputees?

Professor Smooth · Post by **Professor Smooth** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 3:42 am

I found this website: www.whydoesgodhateamputees.com

It is, probably, the best "evidence that God does NOT exist" that I have seen yet.

The basic argument is simple. People credit God for being healed of various ailments. They didn't die of cancer; their home didn't burn down when their neighbors did; etc. But there is not a single reported case of a person regrowing an amputated limb.

From that, you can conclude that either God hates amputees (or at least does not care about them as much as cancer patients) or that God is imaginary.

I'm struck by the simple brilliance of it. I highly recommend giving that site a look-through.

I'll need more time to have a proper looksy but seems like an interesting read

There's totally a documented occurance of a human growing back a limb. Curt Conners! And we all know what happened there.

God HEARTS reptiles more than he does humans.

Or maybe it's the amputating the limb that does it. Maybe if we lost a limb naturally it would grow back. Maybe that's what we're doing wrong!

I suppose that lizards never went to war in His name.

Temporal shockwave caused by the chronal displacement of a timetraveller from the 27th century who went back in time to witness their extinction firsthand and settle the debate for good.

Blatantly.

See? Shockwave did it.

How do you lose a limb naturally? Overwashing?

One could misplace it? Misplacing stuff is natural

God exists, he's just a bit of a snatch.=?

And invisible.

Well, perhaps not "naturally"... but if it like fell off in day to day use. Like if a rambunctious capybara happened to bite it off or something. Anything that doesn't involve the conscious decision of "right, we are going to remove this!"

God loves amputees. Why else would they look so funny waving their little stumps around? Seriously, have you ever seen a man with no arms and legs try to dance? Very cute.

It's a good thing I'm agnostic, otherwise I'd be convinced I'm going to hell...

It's useful in disproving a loving God, because an all-loving God would heal the amputees. However, if you read the Bible God comes across as (in the words of Richard Dawkins) "arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction. Jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak, a vindictive bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser, a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully" so I imagine he could very well be sitting up on his cloud and laughing in all of their stupid amputee faces.

She really was the weakest link.

No matter how many people pray. No matter how sincere those people are. No matter how much they believe. No matter how devout and deserving the recipient. Nothing will happen. The legs will not regenerate. Prayer does not restore the severed limbs of amputees. You can electronically search through all the medical journals ever written -- there is no documented case of an amputated leg being restored spontaneously. And we know that God ignores the prayers of amputees through our own observations of the world around us. If God were answering the prayers of amputees to regenerate their lost limbs, we would be seeing amputated legs growing back every day.

I love that

That is a fantastic quote.

Miracles, it seems, are just things that are unlikely, not impossible.

God lives in my sock. He comes out once a night and tries to eat all the cookies in the house. This is why we rarely have any cookies. And why I have none to share with you now.

So, if you came here looking for cookies, I'm sorry but you're out of luck. Blame God, he's a greedy bastard.
