Bingo.

"Why can't I get my leg back?"

"Well, you must have cursed God in your heart when the accident occurred."

"But I was asleep in the back seat. I'm only five years old!"

"All the more reason not to curse God. Now you have to live with that ill-advised moment for the rest of your life.

And God loves you!"

It doesn't have to be a past or present sin, it could be a future sin. Remember, god sees and loves fear.

So clearly, the fact that God doesn't heal amputees proves there is a God.

Now Belacqua is using another theist cop-out called confirmation bias

[Image: Bias-2.jpg]
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Just like the years taken from an inmate in prison; hands are just like years: they don't grow back.


Even if the thief (and it's 'thief', not 'thieve'.  'Thief' is a noun, 'thieve' is a verb) is found to have been innocent and unjustly punished?  Even the most careful and well-meaning jury imaginable can make a mistake.

In such a case, shouldn't Allah be merciful and give the innocent man back his hand?

God is not joking or playing games. In this regard; his sentences are not useless; rather their affect is fair, strong and works on both the shorter duration and the longer duration.

And for the record; internet atheists do exist, they are similar to keyboard Jihadies and keyboard Crusaders.

God isn't trying cases, so it doesn't matter whether or not he's joking or playing games.

All Boru wants to know is whether allah could be or should be merciful, and return the hand of a person falsely accused, convicted in error, and sentenced to mutilation for a crime they did not commit.

Here's a common way to think of it: I know what I would do if I were God. And since nobody's doing that, it's proof that there's no God. 

But here's another way to think of it:

Look at it this way. If there were a God, what would it be for? Obviously, the only thing a God would be good for is making people like me happy. Because otherwise it would be worthless. 

Now you and I are Internet atheists. We come on the Internet to talk about atheism. And what is it that makes Internet atheists happy? Judging from this forum, it makes us happy to go on line every now and then and demand to know why God doesn't heal amputees. Do a search on the Internet and see how many times the same question has been asked.

So if God started healing amputees, it means that people like me would lose something that makes us happy. We couldn't ask our question any more. 

So clearly, the fact that God doesn't heal amputees proves there is a God.

Bel?

You have seriously jumped the shark.

There is just so much fekked with the above that I'm just going to say 'Fek it' and move on.

Not at work.

Asking this question has nothing to do with happiness and if that were his reason .He's a prick .

A minor inconvenience  compared to you know people not being without limbs

No it doesn't

I would also like to ask about the prisoner who went to jail for years mistakenly. 
Though their hand is coming back to them in the afterlife.

It's not fair ,strong nor does it work all the evidence points against such barbaric methods

Not even close dumbass

Only because you don't actual arguments and think dismissing your opponents as bots when you inevitably lose is just a coping mechnicism

They still have all there limbs and aren't suffering the trauma of being mutilated and some prisons are quite civilized

That doesn't justfy chopping it off in the first place

Sure, people prove you are wrong about God and you are dishonest to admit it, so what else should you do but use ad Hominem fallacy.
