You've contradicted yourself in the same paragraph.  Now answer the
question, why does god *never* answer the prayers of amputees?  Are you
saying "god" thinks some people don't need arms and legs?  Why?

Don't skirt the issue.  Post the URL that shows that someone's arm grew
back because they prayed to god.  Hell, post one that shows that someone's
arm grew back under any circumstances.

What's the difference?  The desired result is to be whole again. Praying to
"god" doesn't do it.  Even a doctor can't do it without
prosthetics.

I challenge you to come up with proof that anyone has re-grown an arm or a
leg through prayer.  That would be pretty obvious, and impossible to fake. 
It would prove beyond a doubt that your god exists.

Which is why it's never happened.  Face it puke, your god does not exist.
