Atheists try to fix your way around this one...?

Question

Okay.


You can't prove that God's real or wrong because you can't see him/see him. That's your problem right?


Well let's see...

*= name has been changed.

*Sarah was married at a young age. Sarah had *John's child... *Maria. Sarah and John were soon divorced. John had some issues and smoked illegal drugs such as pot. John decided that if Sarah wouldn't live with him, Sarah would live with no one. If you get what I mean... John went to Sarah's mother's house were Sarah was located. John started yelling at Sarah. In order to get away from startling Maria, they moved this fight into the backyard. Sarah's mother *Lisa was a strong believer in God, as the rest of Sarah's family. John after hearing the words "I will never again live with you." from Sarah, shot Sarah in the forehead. Sarah was immediately rushed to the hospital. The doctors said Sarah wasn't going to make it through the night. Sarah couldn't talk, walk, or eat. Even though she couldn't do those things the one word she repeated through the night had everyone speechless. Jesus. Yes, she wasn't supposed to be able to talk but she could say Jesus. Sarah lived through the accident only losing hearing in one ear and having a blind spot in her left eye.

This story is 100% real.

How do I know...?

I'm Maria.

Answer 1

The story is 100% fake.



How do I know...?



It wasn't an 'accident', Sarah was shot! Next time, be more careful when you copy and paste two different stories together.



Giz



EDIT: This is from your own story:



"Sarah lived through the accident only losing hearing in one ear and having a blind spot in her left eye. "



Next time, try *reading* before you copy and paste!

Answer 2

Id love for you to prove that story to show me the bullet wound in her head.

Pot has a generally sobering effect most people on pot cant even get off there backsides let alone tracking down an ex spouse and shooting them in the head. By the way they must be an incredible shot to make that hit whilst stoned.



Or you could show me the news report which MUST have made it to the paper. That someone was shot in the head and the doctors stood aside and did nothing to save their life they neglected their jobs and left her to die. So she kept saying Jesus and the bullet was removed i assume by divine intervention ? And she came out almost unscathed.



If you can provide either id start to listen.



Also you can tell me why all the people who pray to jesus when near death don't get the same miracle as you. God saved for you but not others ? why some where true of faith with children to look after why did they die when you didn't have such misfortune ?

Answer 3

The human body is an incredible machine.



If "God" really existed and wanted to perform a miracle to intervene on her behalf, why didn't he just jam the gun?



People surviving horrendous injuries isn't evidence of anything but the resilience of the human body.



Oh, and people survive getting shot all the time. The bullet just didn't hit anything vital. The doctors were probably not very optimistic because there's a lot of vital things in your head and they didn't want to give false hope before they knew what they were dealing with. Coincidence does not equal miracle.



And sorry but a personal first hand account isn't a credible source. How do I know you didn't fabricate that whole story? Saying "This is 100% real" doesn't make it more believable.





Besides, if you believe that god intercedes on people's behalf, why does he help some but not others?

why wasn't that woman worthy? I know I'd certainly rather be shot than go through what she did.

Answer 4

So God is willing to work a miracle so a brain-damaged woman can speak Jesus' name, but does not fix the hearing and blind spot? Also, how old was maria at the time? how much did Maria witness, and how much is recounted stories confabulating memory? If this is the best evidence of the existence of God, then I'm satisfied I'm correct in not believing.

Answer 5

As a child I was nearly drowned - two friends died in the incident but I was saved.

In military service I have been shot and stabbed and survived.

I survived a bad car accident and eventually recovered fully.

I have a medical condition with a 15% chance of survival for 5 years and had it for over 28 years!!!

I have on two separate occasions been given 3 months and 6 months to live and come through it all!!

If I was a Christian I have no doubt there would be claims of several miracles but I am not and have survived with the help of medical science and a healthy lifestyle!!!

Miracles are only necessary for the weak!!!



Such things are natural in people with no religion so your story cuts no ice!!

Answer 6

Um, if god wanted to help your mother, why didn't he stop the bullet?



If I was a magical, all powerful, all loving fairy, I promise; I would have saved both ears and eyes



I think that this conclusively proves that I am more suited for the title of "god" than Yaweh, at least theoretically speaking.



I'm sorry for your mothers loss, and for the trauma it might have caused you as a kid, but god is still a fairy tale



One day you'll know what I mean

Answer 7

Compare the case of Phineas Gage



EDIT "Sarah lived through the accident "

Answer 8

The doctors did nothing? Right. They just let her sit there with a bullet wound in her head. Also, she couldn't talk, but then she wasn't supposed to be able to talk but could say one word?



I'm sorry, but this just reeks of lie. If it's not, it just shows how amazing the human body and modern medicine are.

Answer 9

We all have stories like this. There are no miracles. Obviously she wasn't shot in spot that killed her and her doctors were able to pull her through. Be careful what you call a miracle. Sometimes you are not thanking the true heroes.

Answer 10

Why don't you credit the men & women who saved "Marias" life by rushing her to the hospital rather then the son of an invisible sky fairy?



This story means nothing, if she'd repeated "Tooth Fairy" or "Peter Pan" would that make them real?

Answer 11

I met Jesus once and communicated with him in some undescribable way, he looked like the Tiki God, then I realized it was just a reflection of myself. Man was that a party.

Answer 12

That is so neat!

(Not about you're mother, just the way you said "Im maria" at the end. not meaning to be terribley offensive)



I am sure that there is an explination, weather or not we have the technology to know what it is at the moment : )



Peace : )

Answer 13

Well if God was real he would show himself in clinical trials and not just with anecdotal evidence.

Answer 14

why didn't god just prevent her from being shot in the first place? oh that's right it's one of his sadistic lessons where he harms an innocent believer to teach us all about faith what a loving being!

Answer 15

Thor loves to make fun of God's antlers and Jesus' hippie sandels.

Answer 16

Placebo

Answer 17

that doesnt prove god is real, that proves the human body can take one hell of a beating

Answer 18

I easily fixed myself around this one by chalking this up as the ravings of a lunatic. Who knew, insane asylums allowed computers.

Answer 19

Let's see... you can't explain this, you can't imagine how your mother could have survived, therefore god did it.

Answer 20

VERY upsetting

How do you explain this

(it only proves the excellent job doctors - MDˇs -, are capable to do

Answer 21

And that's what doctors are for, saving lives and making the impossible happen.

Answer 22

Uh, she got shot and survived. It happens a lot.
