Don't really have time to wade through it all, but proving prayer doesn't work is a far cry from proving God doesn't exist. Just proves that a lot of nutjobs are barking up the wrong tree ... <g>

Jesus loves amputees --

>> 9(H)Departing from there, He went into their synagogue.

10And a man was there whose hand was withered. And they questioned Jesus, asking, "(I)Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"--so that they might accuse Him.

11And He said to them, "(J)What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?

12"(K)How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

13Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" (L)He stretched it out, and it was restored to normal, like the other.

But a more important question is: Is it possible for God to love someone and still not heal them? Would that -- could that be loving? After all -- if the above is a true account -- there were probably several others with withered limbs -- lame -- blind that Jesus did not heal?

It's an important question ...

I note the ednorsement of the site by Richard Dawkins -- this man is very "religious" -- he preaches a kind of religion, too. But many don't understand the difference between science and religion --
