Why are some people too ugly for god?

21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
21:18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

1) Do any churches of today practice this commandment from god? Why not?
2) How could jesus and this god be the same one in the light of this scripture?
3) If god "made" the ugly, and handicapped, A.K.A. "Blemished," why would he shun them from his alter? Why did god draw the line at grotesque and handicapped? Why didn't he say that the priest must be a "Ford Model" with perfect skin and the most perfect "Winsome" face? With no dirt under his nails and no stinky arm pits?
To clarify to people passing through: this is a requirement for priests, not the common people. Leviticus 21:22-23: "He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the Lord, who makes them holy." This law is an extension of the defectless sacrifice (a "lamb without blemish"). The priests were to typify Christ's perfection and be an image that teaches people. The common people were not shunned by God--God Himself says "He may eat the most holy food" and "I... make them holy." Do any of you understand what it means to approach the altar? If you do not, don't judge God. Only a very small part of Israel were priests. Like an exemplary, symbolic form of pastor, their job was to represent Jesus and serve the living God.
