QUOTE:Why do you think God hates amputees? It has more to do with man than God. The reason why we have not seen amputees growing there arms and legs back is because people are just relearning how to tap into the Glory realm of God. Once people learn more and more about how to tap into the Glory realm you will see amputees growing their arms and legs back. People walking on water and through walls etc... But the question I want to ask you is how do you feel about amputees?

I have nothing but sympathy for the physically misfortuned. I'm feeling that you likely haven't looked at the website (being a devout believer, it likely wouldn't make any difference), but the title is, of course, ironic. God doesn't hate amputees, because God doesn't answer prayers, because he doesn't exist. I know this mindset must anger you (hence your "FIRE" avatar). So. there's a trick to proper amputee praying. Perhaps you should contact the authorities as to how to do it correctly. I'm all for having amputees get their limbs back, even if I have to eat atheistic crow (or would that be dove?)...

So, you are doing all you can do to help them? I mean if God isn't real then it falls on you right? But since God doesn't answer prayers then you need to tell that to the woman I prayed for two nights ago that was totally healed of arthritus, or the man in New Orleans who was totally set free from drug use in an instant, or the woman who was healed of bi bolar just the other day, or the night a $20 bill appeared in my wallet that wasn't there, if God can do it with bread or fish he can do it with anything, or the night when I man was preaching and he was covered with gold, or the night diamonds appeared right in front of me and fell to the ground, the diamonds was formed in mid air, or when a preacher was in a meeting and his bottled water turned into wine, the list goes on and on...... But that doesn't matter. Even if someone's head was cut off and he picked it up and still preached you would not believe. Which happened in the 1500's along with people who could levitate, and fly. The fire does not represent anger, but something else. But this type of disscussion is pointless anyway. It has nothing to do with God, or people missing limbs, but your anger and bitterness toward religion.

Let's face it Kevin, we should be happy to have neighbors who are religious ( not too much prostelizing) or a law abiding descent secularist. We will be OK with either. IMO. I'm speaking as a lapsed Christian who believes in God. Some secularists just don't believe in God. I don't think that means they have anger and bitterness towards believers. OSF, you don't hold anger against me or harbor bitterness at me? I don't think you do Bud. More likely , you just don't buy into religions and perhaps feel they don't add to society. That's a diferent position. You haven't been out burning churches in your spare time, have you : )

Kevin, I know you've had some serious problems & the religion seems to be helping you, so keep it up (as well as providing succor to amputees & the afflicted). As for me, I'm a realist, who adheres to rational thinking, so the supernatural world appeals to me only in a fantasy sense. I'd love to see video evidence of your miracles (especially if you get to the reattaching the severed head stage). I DO believe, just as is put forth in Harris's books that blind faith has caused as much harm in this world as help (9/11 anyone?). I'm a pacifist & a live & let live liberal, so no, I don't set temples ablaze. In fact, I don't set foot in churches, unless I have to (weddings, etc.). I do have a bit of bitterness in my soul, but don't consider myself a sour person. Next?

I should have paid a bit more attention to this thread. I just had to come in here to say that I have actually attended several services with Kim Clement (Kevin's hero). That takes me back to the good old days. I have very little hesitation in labelling him a ridiculous fraud of a man, much like the tennis-playing, Lexus-driving, new-church-in-a-strip mall-founding, reactionary dullard of a pastor who asked him to come to the church. A proper nasty piece of work (both of them).

Kim Clement isn't my hero.

That's cool, one suave folk. As for the evidence. I have posted some already, but it seems You Tube took it off. But there is all kinds of doctor reports etc.... out there, but that does not really matter. I am not trying to prove anything to anyone, because it can't be done. Just sharing. Take Care, and I bless you on your journey. :)

What kind of car should a pastor drive or should he walk? Just wondering? How about Celebrities who talk about the homeless problem or the environment, etc... What kind of car should they be driving and how much should they be giving?

Okay, Kev. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. However, I would suggest you read the rather brief book: Letter to a Christian Nation, by Sam Harris (I got my copy from the library). It's a very cogent work on the objection to religious agendas. If you're truly faithfull, this opposing view should only strengthen your position, right? I spent 14 years in church (4 as a professional choirboy). The hour or 2 it'd take you to read this would be a fair trade-off. By the way, out of all the Bible stories, the ONE that stuck with me was the very non-supernatural tale of the Good Samaritan, the archetypal humanist message. I appreciate people who help one another, with no ulterior motive (ie. religious conversion). I know I likely don't live up to this ideal as much as I should...

Members of the clergy are supposed to be above the material. It's best to avoid the offensive televangelist-type overkill of the past. If you're taking the tax exempt road of separating church & state, maybe you shouldn't be spending the coffers on expensive autos, etc. If you MUST, set a standard, get a compact, perhaps an environmentally friendly hybrid. In other words: what Jesus would do... It's NOT a celebrity's job to minister to the world's problems, & they're surely NOT tax exempt. The more conscionable likely do contribute to charities and drive sensible cars. WWJDrive? Possibly a Prius. Certainly one that would drive on water!!

They should all drive Volkswagen Karmann Ghias. If they need to get their tyres rotated or an oil change, they should use Segways.
