I would like to point out that, according to Leviticus, Yahweh is a LOT more unfair than just allowing children to be born with deformities. They are born deformed, and then punished for being deformed. They aren't allowed in the temple.
"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, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God." (Leviticus 21:18-21)
Of course, there were all sorts of restrictions regarding who could enter the temple. No bastard was allowed in, to the TENTH generation of his descendents. No male who had any damage to his genital area. Nobody suffering from disease. And, of course, even if a woman has been ritually purified, she has sub-human status.
But don't get us started on how the gawd of the wholly babble is unfair, right? There's too much ammunition there, that discussion would take decades.
Are you freakin' kidding me, orangebox? God creates (of course I don't believe god exists, or created anything, which nullifies this whole observation, so)
according to the BIBLE, Gawd creates a human with deformities. Don't give me that BS about the deformities being caused by the sins of the parents - which is also unfair, punishing the child for the sins of their father. But then, this creature that god created is banned from worshiping like their able-bodied peers.
That's utterly ridiculous.
