Why doesn't god heal amputees?
Why should He? Is there some kind of requirement?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

And funny how believers pine over heaven like winning the lottery, but are unwilling to blow their heads off with a shotgun(NOT RECOMMENDING IT) to get there sooner.
There is no afterlife. Just like you could not use your computer if you smashed it to bits with a sledgehammer. When your brain dies you die. We are merely our brains in motion.

The primitive idea of heaven is displayed when people point upwards, saying those who have ascended are "up there". Never mind that they are pointing in a totally different direction depending on the exact time they do it. Or where they are in the world.
Of course the cop out answer now is it's "outside the universe". I wonder if they needed a big removal van for that caper.

Having all limbs is a requirement for getting into heaven.
If you are not perfect physically you go to hell.

Because he was so desperate to save people from hell he had his own son die a gruesome death. Someone that dedicated to the cause of preventing people from going to hell would certainly find that trivial compared to what he has already done, and he knows it could save the souls and strengthen the faith of millions.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

If you think about it outside the box he could i don't know destroy the world and started all over instead of doing such a thing dying for himself.

I mean why water he could have sent a few meteors a asteroid or two and got the job done and make more humans.
