Whenever children are born with birth defects, its never to punish the child, but the sins of the parents. Youve never seen good people have hermaphrodites do you? (and not good meaning nice, good meaning clean of sin)
God would never hurt children. After all, it was Jesus who said, "Anyone who dares harm one of these little ones will have to answer to me."

"Whenever children are born with birth defects, its never to punish the child, but the sins of the parents."
Well, it is a time honored biblical tradition to punish the innocent instead of the guilty. One of the foundational pieces of Xian doctrine is the crucifixion - punishment of the innocent for the "sins" of others.
My late companion Marsha was born a paraplegic and had debilitating and circumscribing lifelong health problems as a result -- albeit for a life not that long. Her parents, and indeed her whole family, were the most profoundly (and genuinely) pious fundamentalist Christians I have ever met.
Hermaphrodites is the example he uses for birth defects that punish the parents? WTF? How does this "punish" anyone more than, say, spina bifida, hydrocephaly, or a host of debilitating genetic diseases?
Ok, so these kids aren't hermaphrodites, but they are conjoined twins. If you read the blog you'll see "pray for us" and "our church..." and other religious stuff all over it. I'm sure these parents ASKED for their kids to be conjoined because...I dunno, maybe they held hands before they were married?http://journal.rowelltwins.com/
Oh, that's *real* just right there. Punish the kid for something the parents did.
"God would never hurt children".
soo, God takes out his anger at the aprents by screwing with the children? sounds like a sadist to me.
Well, I have to admit, that's a watertight argument. As long as you can somehow convince yourself that causing someone lifelong disfigurement doesn't count as harming them in any way, of course.
Isn't it hurtful to the children to let them be born with birth defects? And "He who is without sin cast the first stone", does that ring a bell?
I have seen children of good (meaning kind, stable and empathic) people born with defects, and I have seen children of bad (meaning egoistic, abusive and irrational) people born without the slightest blemish. You were saying...?
You think God will point finters? Remember he does not judge like we do or would do.
it was Jesus who said, "Anyone who dares harm one of these little ones will have to answer to me."
The Catholics are in for it!

Noone is without sin.
And you just dissed about a million Christians with conditions and children with conditions. Do you ever think?
This is like the priest that say Christians are much more fit, and strong with ill, disabled and obese people right in front of them.
Anyone who dares harm one of these little ones will have to answer to me
...and thank you for another contradiction in your Bible, NickTheShitz.
Hosea 13:16.
And as so many of you fundies say that your J-boy is God, therefore...!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
