Why won't God heal amputees?

I would need to take all the drugs that you take in order for me to understand what you're even getting at before I could make an attempt at answering the question.

I just see a bunch of emotionally-charged sophistry from a pseudo-intellectual. It's your type of posts that lend credence to the "all atheists are angry" trope.

With every tip-tap of your fingers on the keyboard as those digits siphon deceit from your rotten mind.

Well... give me an example. I can give you an example of your own irrationality straight out of your profile description.

It couldn't possibly be the case that you're speaking for yourself and not for a god, and anyone who suggests otherwise is just angry and/or on drugs?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm only talking to you specifically, unless you represent all atheists?

You cannot, though you are willing to try, and your irrationality lies within your delusional belief in god.

Sure, it's only anger and/or drugs when I say that you might be cramming your own words into a gods mouth.

What is it when other people suggest as much?

So, where's an example of me ignoring reason?

Let's take a look at one of your profile quotes.

"If god was real, he would not need theists to inform us that he is real."

This is just a non-sequitur (does not follow). It doesn't follow that if God existed that He wouldn't use people to disseminate His message. This elementary mistake in logic is indicative of your inability to properly reason.

Need, not use. Need. Swing and a miss.

I think that it's good advice. I'd prefer to let god describe himself and his desires and his motives and his appraisal of the humanity that he created, rather than letting you describe yourself and your own. Claiming that you are the literal mouth of a god, and that anyone who happens to disagree with you is just angry and/or on drugs.

What do you think? Do you think it might be helpful for you to sit back and let god speak for himself?

It follows that when a god does not exist, those who want to perpetuate the myth will make apologetic claims for his existence. God is all powerful, yet he cannot make his existence known except to certain individuals who cannot provide any evidence for his existence? No, logic dictates that god does not exist and that believers are simply full of shit.

You write a lot of incoherent, cringy, and emotional nonsense that in no way furthers the discussion. Who exactly are you trying to impress or trick? Surely not I. Are you just playing to your audience?

I just don't see the point. If you're unable to bring forth intelligible and rational responses to my posts, then why bother?
