Holy goddamn shit!! 

I was born with spina bifida (go to this link if you care to educate yourself *refrains from holding breath on the matter* http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/spinabifida/facts.html ). I use crutches to ambulate. 

I have no job whatsoever. I am on a pension. Partially probably my fault (I was never great at job interviews), and partially definitely not my fault (disabled people are discriminated against, at least here in America). I have also gone through much of my life with zero friends. Again, partially me as a person probably looking in the wrong places, but also able-bodies who sometimes want nothing at all to do with a person on crutches or in a wheelchair.

We're human beings, just like gays, blacks, women (some folks subscribe to all categories aforementioned I'm sure. You provide a compelling (but completely disturbing) argument. Jobs are not the only way a person can contribute to society. Look at all the able-bodied people there are that get onto pensions and other such services and don't do anything to wean themselves off even though they actually can. Nobody (including me) is suggesting they be killed. 

TBH, I have not gotten through this thread. I have only read the OP. I may add more when I do get through the thread.


*wow*

I feel you buddy   ...
The scenario I posted completely appalls me, but I just wanted to learn more about the evidence that other world views provide to support their case. Especially the Darwinian-heavy form of atheism.

In modern normal situations humans in all socities will make special efforts to care for people who need it such as you described.  However, when severely stressed some people (not all) will actively kill the old and infirmed in order to provide  scarce resources to children and themselves.  If things continue to deteriorate the able-bodied adults will then start killing the children as a last resort.  But things have to be about 99.9% bad for that to happen.
