Why We?d Be Miserable in a World Without Religion
DD: Yeah, that's happened many times. Normally the undergraduate atheist is an extremely self-satisfied and arrogant guy. There?s not a lot of new material, but sometimes a question will throw you off in that you have to think about what's behind the question. One time, a guy shouts at me from the audience, ?Why does God hate amputees?? And I was like, ?Excuse me?? And he says, ?In the Bible, Jesus heals the blind man, but there's no account of a miracle where an amputee is healed.? That was a little bit out of the blue. I subsequently discovered a whole website called ?why God hates amputees? or something like that. It got me go to back and think through what the guy was really getting at. To heal an amputee and make his limb re-grow is a kind of obvious miracle, [whereas] anybody can claim an internal miracle, like, ?I was diagnosed with cancer and now I don't have it.? His point was, show us a miracle that is objectively verifiable. At the time, I didn't get all that out of the question. I was a little bit baffled.
