At least someone blames God for not getting it right!

Goa chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Wednesday said some people are born with disabilities due to the "mistake" and "negligence" committed by God.

"There are some brothers and sisters in the society, who are born with certain disabilities. God forgets to give them certain things. That is negligence on the part of God and for that the child has to suffer for entire life," Parsekar said.
"Therefore, NGOs like Disability Rights Association of Goa (DRAG) have come into existence. The thing which God could not do, they are doing. They are rectifying the mistake committed by God. I would say NGOs' work is more than that of God," he added.
The chief minister was speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability issues organised by DRAG at Margao town around 35 kms from Panaji Wednesday morning.
However, after the event, DRAG condemned chief minister's remarks, stating that the disabled were born to show the power of God.
"CM Parskear, while speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability at Chowgule college, Margao has said disabled people are mistake of God and NGOs are doing yeoman service by serving the disabled in rectifying God's mistake," DRAG chief Avelino D'Sa said in a statement in Panaji.
"DRAG strongly objects to this statement and clarified that if God has created a person disabled it is to show people the power of God. Disabled people have more strength and will power and they are differently-abled, hence they are stronger than the normal people," he added.

The rebuttal is weird.
If disabled people are stronger than normal should not God make everyone disabled?

I am impressed that someone specially belonging to the Hindu nationalist party thinks human can do a better job than God. :slowclap:
 
People can rationalize anything. But if it were true that a god created disabled people to show off its power and the way that power was shown off was that the disabled people have more strength and will power and are differently-abled, it would merely show the power of the disabled people to compensate in some way for their disabilities. It still does nothing to show the power of god unless it can be demonstrated that the god was the one actually creating the people, something for which there is no evidence.

Also this rationalization ignores all counter evidence (of which there is plenty) of disabled people who do not demonstrate greater strength or will power.
