Sure, maybe you should address what has been said as it applies to you as well, being a "fundie". Pray for that undebateably deserving woman's legs to regenerate spontaneously, and if you return with null results then your God is practically worthless. Oh, and it also proves prayer has no effect. As a matter of fact, find one amputee who has grown back limbs- you can't.
What I find really odd is that people like you would have called it a miracle had this woman and all but one child died in whatever accident. You might have said that God spared that one child, or some such poppycock (excuse the language). But when it comes to something that is falsifiable, your God is powerless and prefers to sulk in the shadows of faith instead of yielding practical results in the real world.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
