On prayer.

Christians will claim God heals self-limiting illnesses. If a Christian needs surgery, the Christian knows that God will not heal what only surgery can fix. The Bible clearly states in many places that if you pray in Christ's name, he will answer your prayers. God certainly has never healed an amputee. Why can't God find some charity and heal an amputee once in a while?

There are only three answers to prayer: Yes, no and later. These answers are certainly not supernatural. You can pray to a tree and you will get the same answers.

Christ says if two or more people pray in my name, I'll answer their prayer. Why not pray for cancer to be healed worldwide, overnight? Why not pray to end hunger worldwide, overnight? Why not pray that all amputees in the world be healed overnight? Why not pray that all blind people be healed, worldwide, overnight? Why not pray that all deaf people, be healed, worldwide, overnight?

Let's be honest here: Christ supposedly healed the blind and deaf, why won't he do it now? Is He out of touch with reality? Did he lose some of His powers? Did Christ lose compassion? Why can't He now find any mercy, love and caring for His creatures today, right now?

Since no Christian knows the answer to his, the fake excuse always touted as God's highest wisdom is, "That's the mystery of God." If God's highest wisdom is to do nothing, then why would anyone want to be part of this scam?

Remember, Christians will claim that prayers work. But when you call them on the carpet on specific compassionate prayer requests which never work, they quickly back peddle and use any excuse to explain why their ALL POWERFUL GOD (make thunder and lighting noises here) can't do something as simple as heal all amputees, heal all blind people overnight, or heal all deaf people, overnight.

When you take the premise that Christianity is mythology, then it's easy to see why that amputees, blindness, deafness, world hungry is never supernaturally addressed, overnight, worldwide, by a god.

I know what Christians are saying, prayer does not work like this. Yet another excuse for your ALL POWERFUL GOD! Don't you read your own scriptures? Why do I have to repeat YOUR SCRIPTURE, Christ said that if two or more people pray in my name, I will answer their prayers.

When you say that prayer does not work like this, you are saying you know more about prayer than Jesus Christ. Really? I take Christ's word at face value. If prayer does not work when two people pray a selfless prayer, for example, that all blind people are healed and when it does not happen, then obviously there is only one reason for this. Christ was not a god. Christianity is simply mythology.

Salamanders heal themselves everyday without prayer. However, with a small, selfless prayer, God won't even heal one amputee.
