Why did God create 'special' people the way they are?

Because He has a sense of humor.

But you can ask God yourself. See my signature for His phone number.

God (see, not hard to capitalize) you religious crazies (yeah, because calling people crazy is not mean. Sure) are mean!!!

Don't worry, you were created by God for a reason too. It is to persecute us.

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

Yes we are. Trying to save someones soul requires tough measures. But don't you prefer we are a little mean to you on earth so you don't have to go to hell?

[QUOTE=GOD=life;453150]Because He has a sense of humor.

Would YOU find it funny if someone kidnapped your son or daughter, drugged them up and cut a couple limbs and watch them hop around?
I would not find that funny, nor do I with disabled people.

The REASON why I say son or daughter, is because I know they don't deserve such torturous acts upon them.
Did the disabled people deserve to be like that because of what their parents did to piss god off?

NO.

Ban me.
I will still be on this earth, I will not go to hell, because there isn't one. I will not go to heaven, because my beliefs don't match the bibles criteria.

Go ahead and prove me wrong(please!), your bible for all we know was written by a man in his room. Don't bombard me with scripture, give me something decent that proves GODS existence.

Even so, I will NOT worship a god where he thinks it is ok to make humor from disabled people, allow rape, or send unborn babies to hell if they happen to die, because it wasn't "saved" by Jesus.

The only GOD I will follow is the one in my head, telling me right from wrong, care for other people, help the ones in need, treat others the way you want to be treated.

Dont call me an atheist.

I am agnostic( open to believe in ANY religion with convincing proof.)

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

It would not happen to my daughter because as a True Christian™, I have taken the necessary precautions. It's like saying "would you find it funny to freeze to death in the winter". To that, my answer is "ever thought of wearing a coat?"

Also, please consult the result of my study into the topic of rape:

So you currently do not believe in the very existence of any deity, yet you do not want to be called an atheist? That doesn't add up. I can't really blame you, because atheists have a very bad name. Everyone thinks they are immature and stupid.

Yes I prefer not to be called atheist because being one means that I am NOT willing to believe in any religion even if significant proof smacked me in the face.

It ads up, because there isnt yet one religion out there that has convincing proof. I am one to improve my theory in a religion as proof shows up.
So right now, I don't know what you are, but I am a biological being that is the result of millions of years of evolution.

Proof< all around us, similar DNA to monkeys and apes, Skeletons of those before us millions of years ago who aren't as developed, so to speak, if our universe is 6000 years old, and light travels at ~300million km a second, how is it that we get light reaching earth from millions and millions of years ago (this is essentially looking into the past.) How do we know this?
Because we calculate the red-shift of the light and how much its wavelength has increased through its travel. We know what wavelength it SHOULD be from analysing its emission spectra.

All this, is simple science that is able to be proven in any highschool classroom.

I know your just saying that, just to somewhat try the destroy solid proof.
"because god" isnt good enough

Give me a good reason why.

"Take it up with god?"
you might reply?

I would, if he showed me his mouth, eyes and ears.

If you don't believe 1 or more God(s) exist, then you are an atheist by definition. However, according to the article below, your branch is called "weak atheism" (doesn't rule out the possibility) vs. "strong atheism" (knows definitely that no deities exist).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_and_strong_atheism

Similarly, with Christians, we see that people with very different points of view all use the same label "Christian". That is why we make the distinction between True Christians™ (people who follow the KJV 1611 Bible to the letter) and false Christians (cherry-pickers who skip the inconvenient parts and only take the ones they like).

False Christians may, for example, cite Leviticus on the topic of homosexuality, but they will refuse to follow any of the other parts of Leviticus themselves (eating shrimp comes to mind). That's one of the more obvious examples of cherry-picking. That is why many people who call themselves Christians do not like this forum.

Are you retarded? The mother does you idiot. I hope you do not have a wife because she would suffer from having you as a husband.
