As with all such claims I have a quick way to test it...let's cut off his and or his wife's toes then see long it takes for prayer alone to regrow them...

If they regrow we should all definitely consider believing in this guy's religion as magic regenerative powers is a pretty good payoff for faith.

If they don't... well... either the man is lying... or I guess his faith just isn't strong enough.

Aren’t so sure? Serious, aren’t so sure? I can say with 100% fact that prayer did NOT regrow a fucking toe. For fuck sake…

Better tell the transplant docs that they won't be needing them anymore. Praise Jesus! (and Bob, of course)

Another preacher in the article says it is similar to a person who lost a kidney and miraculously regrew it. Do people realize that if there was a shred of truth to any of this it would be in every medical journal on earth??

> that’s really all prayer is, isn’t it?

I'm no lover of religion but "begging for things" is a gross misrepresentation of prayer. Lots of prayer is focused on the simple act of communing with a deity, without asking or having any expectation of getting anything in return.

There are plenty of valid criticisms we can level at organized religion or Christianity in particular. "Prayer is begging" isn't one of them

How about regrow my fucked up toenail that won't co.e.back after running 10ks a lot in the damn military. I asked for a partial pension over it but got laughed at! Where's the compassion for veterans?

Let’s assume for the sake of argument that prayer DID regrow this woman’s toes.

Why would this be newsworthy? It would be newsworthy only if it were unexpected.

And it would be unexpected only if nobody really believed that prayer could have this effect.

If I believed god existed, I’d expect woman to be regrowing toes through prayer regularly. And if other people really believed in the power of prayer, I don’t think that this event would surprise them either.
