That's simple. Each and every deformed child is a warning to the rest of us. If we were all perfect tall/blond/blue-eyed people, we wouldn't have anything to look at and worry about. However, if every once in a while you give an infant a disease such as PHK that makes a great deal of the food that we eat toxic, it helps keep enough worry in the world that the 10% cut keeps coming in, and keeps the churches full.

This is an excellent question, and there is, a reasonable answer, and that is the Lucifer Rebellion. The difficulty is our understanding of what actually happened. Lucifer was a very high administrator in our local universe. He was, infact, a “being of light”, highly respected by all. Unfortunately, his ego got the better of him, and he decided he could improve on God’s plan for bringing up His kids, in His Universe. Lucifer managed to get 35 other planetary administrators and many many celestials to default with him.(the “war” in heaven”) Our planetary administration went along with Lucifer, and our planet was put in isolation. Normally, we would have received some “genetic assistance”, which would have given us natural immunities and other physical attributes, but these were not available because of our isolation. There was inbreeding with some of the ape stocks, and altogether, our lineage was severely damaged. This is the source of the handicaps for these poor unfortunate kids. However, it will be, and is being fixed. Our isolation is coming to an end, and we are being brought back into the Universe community. But it will take some time to accomplish this, as you can imagine. :roll:

So the best way to teach a lesson is to create blind children?

Was it a joke or were you serious? :D

Of course man. Look at it this way, city into salt, global flood, rainbow in the sky, killing all the first borns, etc.

This is as subtle as the big guy can be.

Cool stuff. Very creative. Almost as good as Xenu and the scientology myth.

Well, technically, God doesn't "create" physically handicapped children. Moreover, he doesn't create any children. Humans create children. I believe that the only thing that God does "create" in regards to us is the soul.
Why do they suffer from birth?
Why does anyone suffer from birth? And what constitutes "suffering"? What might be suffering to you might not be suffering to another. And even if something might be suffering to you now, it might not be considered suffering to you later.
why are other children created with Good health and born in Good families while the unlucky are born as destitutes,orphans and as physically handicapped children?
One of the underlying assumptions in this question is that life has to be fair. Though fairness would be an ideal, it is not realizable on this earth.
what is the religious explanation for this?
One could write an entire book on this. Or even several books. And still it wouldn't be sufficient.

But, first off, I'd answer by saying that there doesn't need to be a "religious" explanation. A naturalistic explanation could explain birth defects ranging from genetic diseases, damage to the fetus from bad practices from the mother, environmental toxins, the random genetic mutation, and as well as many other factors.

Also, technically, the only two people that God created was Adam and Eve. And since they were part of the creation that was described as "very good", it was doubtful that they were physically handicapped in any way.

Though God doesn't promise us perfect bodies here on earth, we will be given new bodies in heaven. So, our imperfect bodies are just a temporary situation that would lead us for a longing of perfection in the afterlife.

Such comments do not lead to a civil debate. If someone posts something that is illogical, use logic to expose the error. Please avoid simply responding with sarcastic remarks. Thanks.

Neither do humans. We provide a setting where the biological "creation" process happens. Cells combine and DNA does its stuff. We sit back and let the little ones create themselves. Creating a child would be a much more complex and difficult task.

so why does he send one soul to a blind,handicapped poor families childs body and other soul to a rich,healthy childs body?How does he decide?

It is to be noted that sending a soul to an unbelieving family's childs body makes that child less probable to reach heaven.This is done by god at birth.So how does god decide which soul goes to which childs body?

looks like relativism.I thought believers dont accept relativism.

Anyway,physical handicaps are considered as suffering across most of cultures.Let us talk about only such cultures.

But God should be fair.He should not send one soul to good body and other soul to a handicapped body.

will read that thread and comment on it soon.

But still god creates souls.He decides which soul goes to which body.So there is a religious explanation for suffering.

Nobody knows what happens after death .But what explains current suffering?Let us find some answers to it.
