Ah now this is a story that has DANGER written all over it. I can run with this story in a dozen different directions, most of which will get me hate mail :) But we are professional amateurs here so let us begin.
Ok, what do you call a person with no arms and no legs who is shaving? Nick. Well to be exact, his name is Nick Vujicic and he was born without arms and legs. Before you fire off the hate mails, you should really read the entire story. You’ll see what I mean. Now, while that would devastate the average human, it has only fueled Vujicic to better himself and countless others.
Confused yet? Allow me to explain. Nick Vujicic is a man of many trades. He is a motivational speaker, real estate investor, stock market investor and author. But most importantly, Nick is an evangelist who travels the world spreading the word of God. Now one would think that Nick would be upset with God, since he forgot to give him arms and legs. But Nick is a “the glass is half full” kind of guy. He often tells people “I stand before you today as a miracle of God.”
Now think about that for a minute. Is he really a miracle of God or just some guy that was dealt poor genes? Now whenever I see someone like this preaching the word of God, one explanation comes to mind. I think that people like Nick need to prove to others and themselves, that they are just as capable and in control of their life. The want to believe that there is a reason for their condition and they weren’t just screwed over by the man upstairs.
They say God works in mysterious way. But no matter how you slice it, Nick Vujicic is one fascinating person. He has accomplished more than many people under circumstances that would cripple most. Whether or not God has anything to do with it, you decide.
Thanks to Headline Junky once again for the story!

Santa Maria, your stories are totally bogus. Why should we believe the specious god fraud that you are trying to sell us? Informed skepticism is the appropriate response to your overloaded crap, so present your proof or fuck off and stop bothering us.
Also, what you’ve described is a vindictive, vicious asshole of a god. So, no thanks. Keep your sicko nasty sky fairy to yourself. Silently and without the pathetic sales pitches to us, please, that is.
Fight! Fight! It’s a Santa fight!
My bet is on Santy Claws. Maria doesn’t have a chance.

Another thing to the people say there’s no proof that theirs a God I’m not going to tell you there is proof but ask you where’s your proof if you believe there is no God and there was a big bang then every thing was here where’s your proof you weren’t there when the world was created we can all agree there was no pencils paper books education so why now you say we have proof cud you can go in a textbook and look it up but yet how do you know that’s true the people who wrote that book wasn’t alive back then you honestly think you have proof aren’t we believing the same thing we don’t know what really happened were going off what we learned in a book I believe in a Bible that was sent down from heaven billions of years ago and you believe in a book that was in school made recently does anyone really have proof no but you have faith in what you believe in whether it was a bang that created live bodies that heal on its own where did the band come from some say tiny particles from space where did the the particles come from we don’t know I just don’t understand how people think that there was a poor then we have the world we have to day it makes more sense that we have an almighty created that crafted this wonderful world with his hands actually put thought into it and made us the way we are then a bang its more complicated to make something so wonderful than mustard poof
Post by ‘christianly faithful’ is a glaring instance of the Argument from Ignorance fallacy.
I don’t think of the fact that he doesn’t have limbs is the problem. What I’m a little skeptic about it despite him saying it’s God doing the work is how he basically seems to go through life smoothly and sort of rubbing it in others faces while speaking as if it’s going to solve every individual who hears from him’s problems. He can tell you that there’s a purpose and while admitting that he doesn’t know many things people go through that puts them in a position that can only limit them so much because they have little to no control, tries to make it seem like the problems will be solved, kind of if you think about it hinting that these problems many individuals face are nothing of which a person could have no limbs which ironically Nick seems to enjoy and in a way take advantage of to make a luxurious living that he has. I think it’s more to do with that he knows it’s going to touch people and have some strings attached with it so he can pretty much have it easy in life than any ordinary person who does have limbs… Does that make sense? Don’t get me wrong I was and still a bit touched by it is what Nick likely wants, but at the same time I can’t help but feel there’s just something where he probably knows it’s an advantage he can use to live his life…
Recipe for
1. Christian Evangelist – A huge potential market by default.
2. No limbs – A concept that can melt people’s heart.
3. Double Major in Accounting and Financial Planning. – …
The delusions he’s sharing are seriously scary..
Submit. Rely on Faith.
Faith – firm belief in something for which there is no proof.
That’s why many people believe in ghosts, demons, hell, scientology, etc. Once you lower your guard by using Faith, everything goes..
