God Doesn't hate amputees. Bad things happen, often due to peoples decisions, sometimes due to natural events. God never promised to make people live forever, or that would people would be free from suffering. Everyone dies, it's just a question of when.
After a priest asked Jesus what a crippled man had done to deserve such a fate, Jesus replied that everyone was valued by God. We all have infirmeries and shortcomings of some sort, which provides an opportunity for people to demonstrate their love for one another by caring for and supporting one another. At the end of the day, it is these actions that seem to provide meaning to life.
People have good lives and bad lives. The fact that there are people whom are suffereing does not reflect in any way God's view of them. In many cases the suffering was created by other people. Being an amputee is not the end of a person's life. There are many amputees who have recovered to be wonderful influences on other people, and there are many amputees who's lives have been uplifted by the help and support of others.
That's as good of an explanation of why "***** happens" as any that I've heard.
