We point at nature and life and teach our kids to sing “All things bright and beautiful! The Lord God made them all!” In reality, maybe we should be teaching them to sing “All things maimed and mangled! The Lord God cursed them all!”

Ah Hammy old bean...it's already a song.
All Things Dull and Ugly [from Monty Python Flying Circus].
All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.
He made their horrid wings.
All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.
Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid--
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!
All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.
If God hated us all, it would explain a lot.
Like your existence, for example.
Good grief, the original words are bad enough:
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.

Maybe so. Hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, wildfires, plagues, mental disorders, birth defects -- let's face it, if this is the work of your god, he's quite the sadist.

"Why not just give them a free copy of GTA IV? Don't mangle words - practice mangling people so when the time comes for all good Xians to start the second crusade against teh gheys and liberulz your kids are well trained!" -- Princess Rot
The fundies have already put that idea into practice, Princess! Check out the game "Left Behind: Eternal Forces!" Here's an article at Talk2Action dealing with the game: http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/5/29/195855/959
It's disgusting. The characters run around New York City, trying to convert bystanders. If they refuse to convert, you can go ahead and kill them! Oh, and you can remove the stigma of killing unbelievers by praying for a minute or so!
What fun!!!
"All things maimed and mangled!" How is it that "made them all" and "cursed them all" are mutually exclusive? He created the maimed and mangled as much as the bright and beautiful, regardless of whether he decided arbitrarily, after the fact, to curse them...
"All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all"
As opposed to Ken Ham, who was made by the FSM (just for the lulz).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
