Why doesn't God cure amputees?

Perhaps because suffering isn't needless from its perspective.

Poppycock, there is a tremendous amount of needless suffering in this world, just open your eyes.

Atheist's are lazy in their disbelief?

Storms first answer was quite to the issue.
Not all faiths believe in an interventionist god.
Mine doesn't.
Many of these "why doesn't god ___?" seem to be directed Christian or the Big Three Monotheist concepts of god.
Why should god cure anyone of anything?

What about Cancer, Common Cold, Genetic Disorders, Down Syndrome, thre is no evidence that god heals people, people in those chruce places were a man heals people through god, it complete
brain confusion, I have seen them do it, they put the people in somesort of trance, and then the patients believe anything is true , they even believe they have been healed.

One could sensibly, and possibly poetically, argue, within the context of a "God" that exists (in whatever form), that God does cure amputees, every one of them, everyday. "God" is the doctor who treats their injury; "God" is the phychologist who talks to them; "God" is the craftman who creates an artificial limb, and the craft by which it comes into being and gets attached. Seems to "me" there's a lot of healing going on.
Why would you think I said atheists are lazy? I just said that God would not want to promote laziness. And I also, never said you hadn't found the truth. You're assuming things that I never wrote. I wrote that if you truly search, you will find the truth. The truth is different for everyone and yet there's only one truth. If you have searched thoroughly, and truly, and you can look me in the eye and say "I have found the truth!" then I applaud you. If not, then continue searching.

Why would someone who got their head cut off NOT want to be cured?
You would think SOMEONE at SOME POINT in history would either say a quick silent prayer about it before (or after) or their loved ones would say something about it to God. If I was told "Ask and it shall be given unto you." by an all powerful god I would sure ask for my loved ones decapitation to be cured!

Not if you are cut in half or if your head is cut off.
While we're at it, why don't people who are stabbed in the heart get cured? Why does god cure a cut in your finger but can't cure a cut in a vital organ? I guess you could say he invented doctors, but that was probably not very comforting to people dying thousands of years ago.
Battlefield 200 B.C.
Dying Man: "I just got stabbed in the heart, please, God, cure me!"
God: "I won't cure you, but I will invent medicine in a few thousand years and then if there is a doctor or paramedic around and that person prays to me I might cure them."
Dying Man: "Not helpful!"

Why would he need to harm them to cure them? Starfish and lizards grow back their arms and tails respectively with no harm. Do babies suffer harm when they grow their arms and legs in the womb?
Scientists are working on a chemical spray which could be applied to a severed finger to grow it back. They have already gotten one persons tip of their finger to grow back. I supose if it ever works THEN god will get credit for creating it.
