Why Won’t God Heal Amputees?

Despite its somewhat shocking (but nonetheless valid) name, this site really is excellent. Although the author sounds uncannily like the teacher from Beavis & Butthead, he is apparently Marshall Brain, of www.howstuffworks.com fame. His videos almost have me laughing out loud – he so easily exposes the ludicrous, self-contradictory and morally repellant content of the bible. I do urge you to check this out, even if you have not been mindwashed by religion, just for the entertainment value.

Excellent site! I see what you mean about the Beavis and Butthead soundalike!

I can’t help but think though that all arguments are built aroud human based analogy. There is a huge assumption here that a deity if it exists must be amenable to the realms of human thought and philosophy. Surely the very definition of a deity would imply that this is potentially not true. I agree that one can do away with the irrational and worrying thought patterns that occur among many religious groups and sects. However one cannot necessarily discount a deity based on human based thinking and analogy alone.
