These are tough problems for the Christian to answer, but, like the problem of the dead son in hell, I think they dissolve when looked at the right way.
1. Why won’t God heal amputees? You never see missing limbs spontaneously restored. Why is that? Surely the prayers from amputees and their loved ones are plaintive enough.

Christians might respond that God has a special, unknowable plan. They start with the presupposition that God is omnipotent and loves us, and they conclude that we simply don’t understand. (Some might say that there have indeed been reports of missing limbs restored, but I’m talking about scientifically verified healings—sorry to rain on the parade with a demand for evidence and all.)
2. Why are there so many starving people in our world? Doesn’t God answer their prayers? God has received uncountably many prayers both from the desperate people in the world and from healthy Westerners who are concerned about strangers in need. If God answers any prayers at all, why would they be for your finding a parking space over a starving person not dying?
As before, Christians might say that God has a plan—it may not make sense, but we’ll just have to trust him. Or that strangers’ suffering increases our opportunity to learn compassion or give charitably. But let’s not dwell on this too long, because it’s uncomfortable holding the competing ideas of a loving God vs. a god so disconnected with human problems that he allows widespread suffering.
3. Why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? Genesis begins with a flawed view of cosmology picked up from the Sumerians. There was no Flood and no Garden of Eden. Man came from evolution, not from dust. The Bible has no recipe for soap or basic medical advice.
Christians will say that the Bible has no intention of being a science textbook. It simply worked through the flawed worldview of the times. The Bible had no goal to improve the condition of our lives; it taught God’s rules, not health rules.
4. Why do bad things happen to good people? Shouldn’t good Christians get a break? Shouldn’t there be at least a little boost here on earth for making the right decision? How about something tangible to prove that one’s faith is well placed?
No, God works in mysterious ways. He gives strong faith as he sees fit. Even Mother Teresa complained about the lack of evidence that undercut her faith.
5. How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? Jesus could appear to you, but he doesn’t. He appeared to Paul after he died, so it’s not like he hasn’t done it before. He could appear to give you advice for a tough decision, give you comfort in person like a friend would, or just assure you that he really exists. He doesn’t.

The Christian might argue that God has his reasons, one of the oddest ones being: because then there would be no need for faith. Because apparently just having faith is a noble thing.
The other way of resolving these questions
As shown above, we could cobble together individual reasons for each of these questions. With the work of perhaps millions of determined theologians over the millennia, we have lots of material. Alternatively, we can cut the Gordian Knot with one simple, devastating hypothesis: there is no god.
Let’s run through the five problems to see how this hypothesis resolves them.

Why won’t God heal amputees? Because there is no God to restore their limbs or to answer prayers. “Answered prayers” are just wishful thinking and coincidence. You can pray to God, Shiva, or a jug of milk and get equally poor results.
Why are there so many starving people in our world? Because life is sometimes difficult, nature has no desire to make people either happy or unhappy, and there is no God to magically solve the problem.
Why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? Because it is a product of an Iron Age culture and has no more knowledge than people of Mesopotamia had at that time.
Why do bad things happen to good people? Rain falls on good people just like bad people. There is no God to adjust the balance of luck in favor of the good ones.

How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? Jesus is imaginary.
Next time: conclude with Part 2.
(I stand on the shoulders of giants. This post has been an opportunity to acknowledge one of the many sources of insight that I benefitted from in my early days as a seeking atheist. Thanks, Marshall Brain, the force behind GodIsImaginary.)
Strange…a God who could make good children as easily as bad,
yet preferred to make bad ones;
who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short;
mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness
multiplied seventy times seven and invented Hell;
who mouths morals to other people and has none himself;
who frowns upon crimes yet commits them all;
who created man without invitation,
then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man’s acts upon man,
instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself;
and finally with altogether divine obtuseness,
invites this poor, abused slave to worship him!
— Mark Twain

Do you want the christians to give you convincing answers so that you join the faith as you accept Jesus again (being a backslidden believer) or you want to push them into sin/arguments? If it's the former, say it but if not, May the God of Israel Rebuke you!!!

to your tent oh israel.

Mr OP go to this topic : ... One big misconception theists have about atheist. Read the entire thread.

your number 5 is plain dumb!

Who told you Jesus doesn't appear to people. Go check YouTube , Jesus has appeared to countless people including Muslims, Christians. little children, rich, poor, atheist, Hindu, Buddhist, etc

If I opened a thread on how I saw Jesus physically, you would say I'm lying and when someone he doesn't appear you also slam us.

what exactly do you people want from Christians?

My problem with you and so called atheist like you is that you sit in your four wall rooms and make assumptions about the whole world. What qualify you for this?

No use talking to a someone who has lost his way.

That's a fake god. The Jews worship money and gold bars. Money cannot rebuke anyone. In God we Trust is written on the US currency, just in case you were still doubting where their allegiance lies. Or look up the 12 US Federal Reserve banks, be careful to check the names of members of their board members. It is all available online.

When you open your mouth to talk, I see stupidity written over everything you say. See how you fumble. So you haven't heard christianity broke out of the Jewish religion of judaism some 2000 years ago, wrote new laws and brought the new testament? How did you pass through secondary school?

Was it Christianity that broke out or your fake god who changed completely? In one testament he is accepting blood sacrifice, in the other, he takes money. SMH.

The one from whom all things came. Science calls it nothing, but in layman's terms, it's everything. It is the tiniest subatomic particle that can exist in isolation, so tiny that it would fit your definition of nothing.

Except it isn't nothing. It's everything. It's what I call the observer particle. Because of its size and Nature, everything is made up of it, you and I included. Even trees and bushmeat are made up of atoms, atoms which contain the God-particles.

■ Why won’t God heal amputees? You never see missing limbs spontaneously restored. Why is that? Surely the prayers from amputees and their loved ones are plaintive enough.
■ Christians might respond that God has a special, unknowable plan. They start with the presupposition that God is omnipotent and loves us, and they conclude that we simply don’t understand. (Some might say that there have indeed been reports of missing limbs restored, but I’m talking about scientifically verified healings—sorry to rain on the parade with a demand for evidence and all.)

1. Jesus Christ is written to have healed the crippled, lame, and blind — all those who were brought to Him were healed by Him — so, clearly, God does heal even amputees.

2. If your question is instead why are Christians not able to do many of the miracles that Jesus Christ is recorded to have done, the answer to that is simple. Only those who are in fact followers of Jesus Christ are able to do the good works that Jesus Christ did and more. You don't get that ability simply by claiming you are a Christian which is no different from being a badge wearer. To do good works one must be righteous(good) and that is not by any standard that is of men.

■ Why are there so many starving people in our world?
■ Doesn’t God answer their prayers? God has received uncountably many prayers both from the desperate people in the world and from healthy Westerners who are concerned about strangers in need.

But let’s not dwell on this too long, because it’s uncomfortable holding the competing ideas of a loving God vs. a god so disconnected with human problems that he allows widespread suffering.

1. The major reason why there are many starving people in the world has majorly to do with people having more kids than they are adequately able to feed — lack of adequate planning on the part of humans really.

2. God made it clearly known that He does not answer the prayers of sinners; the prayers of the unrighteous are an abomination to God. He went on to make it clear that He delights in answering all— not some — of the prayers and heart's desires of the righteous. Hence, it matters not how much one prays or how well one prayer or where on the globe one lives; it doesn't even matter what race one is from, as so long as one is unrighteous, God guarantees that He will not answer any of one's prayers.

3. The "loving" God made it clear in His Law that His love only belongs to those who exist in direct compliance(obedience) to His Law - John 15 vs 9 - 11.

■ Why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? Genesis begins with a flawed view of cosmology picked up from the Sumerians. There was no Flood and no Garden of Eden. Man came from evolution, not from dust.

1. The book was clearly not written by men of science or knowledge for that matter, so you would be misguided to seek validation of that which is written in the book against science.

2. If a book on soap making or medical devices is what you seek, I would advise you to go look for that in the appropriate bookstore aisle. The Bible is not a recipe book nor a book to teach you the basic things of life. It is rather a compendium of interactions between God and men, in addition to the opinions of men regarding God that is.

3. Wrong, the book doesn't work through the flawed worldview, whatever you mean by that. And yes, Scripture contains documentation of God's contracts/agreements which He extends to men, not cooking recipes, tools, and the lot you seem to desire instead.
