Fair enough. I didn't tell my story to try to explain anything other than why I hold my set of beliefs.
But, being a skeptic, I go the extra mile.
Had that happened to me, I would never attribute it to a god.
I once had a wart on my left thumb. It was there for a few months...perhaps 6, when I decided to get it checked out by a doctor.
The doctor prescribed an acid that would burn the wart. I'd have to be careful not to burn the healthy skin around it, so the doctor advised me to to cover the surrounding skin with some cream, prior to applying acid.
I bought the acid and took it home, but didn't use it that day...it required much preparation and I wasn't feeling like doing it.
The next day, I woke up and noticed the wart was gone. It's like it got scared of the acid.
To this day, it hasn't reappeared.
No god was asked to do anything...no divine intervention was attributed to the occurrence.
It just got scared away.
The correct mindset can do wonders on the healing factor of the body... but it can't do everything.
That's why you don't see amputees getting cured...
I'll admit that belief in a god does tend to help bring about the correct mindset... however, it has nothing to do with the actual existence of the god.
