What an interesting view of disability! An all-powerful God that let's people suffer disabilities - does that make him evil?

Actually, what the case is is that the delusion of a god forces people to pray yet there is no god there to hear and help. Anyone heard of a person having lost a limb regrowing it? of course not as there isn't really a god at all.

Thank you for posting this. It's disability awareness Sunday this coming weekend and, although I've got lots of audio from Joni to play on my radio show, I wanted some visuals for the web site. This will go perfectly. Cheers and Kia ora.
