"Why doesn't get heal hemmorhoids? In the history of the world, it is never recorded that God has healed anyone from hemmorhoids."

"Probably because miracles were never too frequent."

I agree. But premise one of the argument (see above) needs to be addressed. Does God heal people of cancer today? If yes, why does he not heal amputees?

What the website is getting at is that believers are quick to thank God for cures that are not directly empirically verifiable, while not praying for healing in instances where is would be (ie, amputees).

Thoughts?
