    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Religious superstition is probably the most powerful force in the world. It will take more to make believers think and to convince them they are wrong. I hope to make people think about what they believe in an logical nonconfrontational way.

    Interestingly, this explanation also happens to cover the case of Neva Rogers in Chapter 1. And Steve Homel's subdivision in Chapter 2. And Ranika in Chapter 4. If you assume that God is imaginary, then the paradox of God evaporates in all of these cases. Why did Ranika die? Because there was no...
