Answer 1

Sin hurt that baby, mister, and you know it! Someone else is always to blame. Except when it's good, like winning the football game.

Answer 2

Some people only have one arm. Just bc/ they dont have two doesnt mean they cant pray. I like to believe that you pray with your heart. Your mouth and hands can help you but arent essential b/c God will hear every prayer regardless of disabilities.

Im sure god had some good reason. Do remember to ask Him when you get to heaven. :)

Read "A Mote in God's Eye," an old science fiction story. (Sorry I don't remember the author's name.) The Moties had three arms, and the humans who got to know them found a useful metaphor in their make-up. We say "on the one hand," and "on the other hand." The moties suggested a variant: "on the one hand," "on the other hand" and "on the gripping hand," which meant the factor that made the other yes/no choice irrelevant. (Example: on the one hand, we could have pizza. On the other hand, we could have burgers. On the gripping hand, we don't have the money for either one!)

Imagination helps us to think things we can't always see any other way. So if I choose to ignore your religious reference, you will understand that it's because I actually can imagine babies with three arms: baby moties!

One day we will know the reason for the things God does. But dont ever think its a mistake or a punishment. Every he does to anyone effects the past present and future. One day that baby may be walking with two buckets of water for his family and an animal attacks him. he can now defend himself....with his third arm.

Answer 5

We do not need two hands to pray. Just to be alive. People believe even people in a vegetative state can think a little. You just need to be able to think a prayer. You forgot people born with only one hand. Or people that have an accident or disease and lose one or both their hands.

Answer 6

A person doesn't need any hands to pray...... and God doesn't make babies with three arms;genetics or a pregnant womans drug habits make babies with three arms.... and men are obligated to tithe through ignorance of scripture, three handed or not.......

Answer 7

God doesn't do bad things to people he helps us through bad things if we ask. If you want to blame God go ahead but the strongest people on earth live in wheel chairs have canes or run in the special Olympics. They may have been born with what we judge as a handicap. However there strong faith and courage are lessons to us week-er and perfect people.So then your answer is to watch how we treat them and to teach us to be better human beings,

Answer 9

That is a very interesting question. And one that I don't have the answer for. But, I am a christian. I love the Lord with all of my heart. There are many things that none of us will be able to understand. I guess that is why science is so popular. But, I love the Lord for what I do understand. And for His blessings. But, actually, above all, I love Him for the fact that He sent His Son to die for me because He knew that I would never be perfect. God bless you, have a great night.

Answer 10

I get that you don't believe in God. Your prerogative.

I do believe in God, and I don't know why He allows it. I do believe that it is the result of sin being in the world. It's part of fallenness.

No matter which of us is right, the fact remains that this baby has three arms. And I don't think it's funny or a matter to take lightly.

Using this child to make fun of a God you disbelieve seems like making light of this child's deformity to me.

Answer 11

Who said you need two hands to pray? Are you saying people with one or no arms can't communicate with god?
