Could God really exist?

[The Magic Pudding]

I did not have any money for the surgery so I really didn't know what to do, but something truly unexplainable happened to me.

It seems a lot of the trouble starts when people try to explain the unexplainable and not knowing isn't an option.
Oh wise Glug, tell us why the sun rises in the morning?

[Stevil]

there is no proof what so ever of what happen to me, but even if I went back to the doctor what would it prove.

Did your doctor not take any notes on your first visit, none whatsoever? That in itself is a miracle of sorts.
No prescriptions, no referals to a specialist or hospital?

Had you not bothered to get a second opinion from another doctor. If you had, did they miraculously not take any notes either?
If you went back all healed, would they not be surprised and make some more notes? Or maybe miraculously they had forgotten your first visit.
If you have no evidence whatsoever then why bother coming onto an Atheist site and telling us all about it? Don't you know that Atheists are notorious for being somewhat skeptical.

We want proof otherwise tell it to someone who cares.

Why hasn't God ever made people's limbs grow back? My Granddad's toes never grew back.

That's what bugs me about you humans, everything has to be about you.
The truth is god is a lizard and he regrows the limbs of loyal followers all the time.

The scary part is that that makes a lot of sense.

It would seem somewhat arrogant of us to think otherwise, given the facts.

Just a note...the OP was still showing as online when I moved the thread and shortly afterward logged off.  So, only respond if you are doing so for the sake of the masses because the OP may not come back finding the rules to be too much trouble (i also sent a pm explaining the 50 posts in case they were confused).

I have become a christian.

Every religion in the world to choose from and you went with THAT?!

I had my doubts like many in here becauser there was just a lack of evidence to prover the existance of God.

That's a big part of it, yes...

On the other hand there is certainly no evidence that God doesn't exist either.

No need. Burden of proof. That said, there is evidence that god can not exist as described in the bible.

I had an expeirence that was truley unexplainable and it opened my eyes to a whole new world.  I had been to church before, but my life changing experience wasn't in a church.  I had a serious ligament issue where there was no hope but surgery in my jaw.

1. It's arrogant to think that god looked at poor little you and fixed your poor little issues while he didn't give a damn about all the other sufferers who go to church even more often than you do.

2. If surgery is the only option, here is a tiny specklet of advice: GET SURGERY. Period.

Long story short there was a woman that put her hands on me and said a prayer over me and my jaw was healed instanly.

A snake oil peddler sold you some snake oil and that means there is a god. Uh-huh... Sure... Your leap of logic is... Impressive.

Medically speaking it was completely impossible.

Placebo effect anyone?

At the time I was surely skeptical about the existence of God, but after this profound miracle I had to question my entire belief system.  After that day I made some changes in my life and many unexplainable things began happening to me, but the problem is I have no evidence that I can share with others.  I have come to learn that God loves all people even the most rotten ones.  Churches are full of hypocrites, but God is full of love to all that will come to him.

Me, I think you have believed in god for as long as you can remember and are here to see if you could fool any atheists with that, pardon me for saying it, pathetic excuse for a miracle.

Considering that I've seen people online claim that their limb was regrown through spiritual healing I don't believe any healing stories that aren't published in a reputable medical journal.  Not to mention that I don't know anything about TMJ and how possible it is for it to quit hurting suddenly (perhaps due to a rush of feel good emotions the patient experiences when having a religious experience ).

My nephew is an evangelical born again Christian preacher. He witnessed a 'miracle healing' and then miraculously had an injury that miraculously healed itself. What a surprise! He's a lying bastard and this is just one documented example.

Yesterday I was tired, then I went to bed and now I'm healed! Praise Jeebus!

I suspect a troll!

You first stated that "surgery was the only solution" after visiting the orthodontist and doctor, you then later say "I tried to go to the doctors and they told me there was nothing they could do". hmmmmm.

The statement "I never had a problem with my jaw even to this very day." reads like you never had a problem at all.

Add "medically impossible".

Where do I find this great healer named bed?

I've dislocated my jaw a few times as well as various other bones, it hurts for a while and there's nothing doctors can do after they have been set back into place, you just have to wait for the pain to go away. Sounds like the same kind of thing taken way out of context and told by a drama queen.

I have been hit twice by cars, once when I was seven, the other time when I was eighteen. The second time was bad, it dislocated my knee, almost tore my kneecap in half and tore most of the tendins. It has never fully healed but it doesn't hurt. Sometimes it pops back out of place and that hurts until it goes back in, then it feels amazing! But I agree my knee no longer causes me massive amounts of pain but that doesn't mean it's magically healed.

I don't know any other store that's all around the world. I'm pretty sure you can't buy a bed at McDonald's.
