[The little girl suffered irreparable brain damage after she stopped breathing in her crib.]

My late companion was paraplegic from birth, unable to feel anything below the hips, so she could not walk -- yet she had the soul of a dancer and often wished God had given her usable legs so she could dance.
I don't think Loribeth would like to meet an old friend of mine from college who was blind from birth. She's a Pagan and renounced the Christian God when she was a teenager. She never once praised him for her mother not taking care of herself and being irresponsible while pregnant. (Her birth mother contracted German measles while pregnant, and I believe she also drank. She later ended up in foster care and once got chewed out for saying in a church she didn't love her mother. The church members practically ordered her to beg for forgiveness. She didn't. :P)
God said those that are handicapped, are a disgrace to the church and a profanity unto the Lord. (another reason I'm an atheist)
First of all, Loribitch, in the bible god isn't too fond of the handicapped. And secondly, even if what you said was true, you basically just stated that god cripples people out of love, and makes it so they can continue to praise his name? He sounds like a sadistic asshole with a superiority complex.
Good grief, Julian, I'm sure glad my late companion Marsha (paraplegic, scoliotic, and subnormal height, or "lame, crookbacked, and dwarfish"), a devout fundie Christian, never encountered that particular verse -- or that if she did, she somehow rationalized around it. It would really suck to think that the one being in the universe who loved you unconditionally despite your flaws (and whom you believed had given you those flaws deliberately in the first place) would then shun you for them under any circumstances. That's harsh!
Apparently, the omnipotnet, omniscient, good and loving God, who is proclaimed to be love itself, didn't care enough for this poor girl to help her breathe. What a guy! Let's all sing praises to the almighty God of apathy.
Your God is an idiot. He has it all backwards. If he was smart he'd turn people who don't believe in him, and go out of their way to de-evangelize as much as possible, into brain-dead vegetables. That way we couldn't corrupt good god-fearing folk.
Julian: I was just about to post that verse!
Yes, what a wonderful God they have...he'll cripple you and then won't let you into Heaven because you have a 'blemish', which he gave you. Wonderful.
The little girl i take care of praises the Lord all the time because she knows that...she is where she is today because of Him.
If that's not a reason to turn to Satan, I don't know what is.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
