My son broke his ankle last week and I was told by some RI (Religious Idiot) that all would be okay; god will take care of him. Actually, it was the Children’s Hospital that took care of him but that’s beside the point apparently.
It got me thinking about god and his antics when it comes to the human body. He has a standard waiting period for broken bones. The human body (that god allegedly designed) takes around six weeks to mend itself and knit the bone back together. That’s pretty impressive.
But if you happen to lose the limb, well, that’s a whole other story. God won’t want to know about you then. No way, no how. You lose it, you’re on your own. God ain’t growing it back for you. Forget about it! He planted the idea into someone’s brain about designing prosthetic limbs but that’s as far as it goes. He doesn’t do replacements, his powers only extend to mending.
God says in the bible that if you ask him, he’ll give you what you want — but when sitting down to write this part of his great tome he neglected to add the words but only if I feel like it. That’s right, that’s the fine print that isn’t there. That’s god’s glaring omission in the dodgy family business he’s got going on with his son, JC and that other idiot, Mohammed.
It’s not part of some elaborate, mysterious god-plan that you’re not privy to; it’s a scam. Yet billions of people get down on their knees daily for a good ol’ praying session with the lord asking for something they will never receive. That’s assuming they have knees to kneel on. God forbid they should ever lose them.

I am NOT and RI at all. I don’t attend church at all. I have been through some similar thought patterns concerning this. I did a little research into what the Tome as you call it says about this and discovered an interesting point. Religious groups are quick to tell you that God will give you the desires of your heart but they leave out that next part where your desires are supposed to be the things that are Godly. Also, I just wanted to add that He never said he would save your life or limb. He said he would save your eternal soul. As a matter of fact God has been known to even kill and slaughter entire villages, cities and even civilizations right up to that part where he destroyed 99.9% of the life on the planet.
