Of course, sometimes parents sin, like having a child out of wedlock. In that situation God may punish the parents by giving the baby defects. This is a righteous punishment for those that do not obey Gods law. God is a just God; one must abandon sin and fear Gods just judgement.

First of all, you're a sick fuck and you should DIAF.
Second, as a bastard myself, I have no defects as you're referring to.
I think you'll find that children born in wedlock and children born out of wedlock have the same statistics regarding birth defects.
And if your position were true - how could you POSSIBLY worship a God who'd do that? How?
Don't the believers claim the exact opposite of this when arguing against choice?
So sometimes the baby can be accounted for the parents actions, and sometimes cannot? If babies out of wedlock are sure to be punished by god, should their abortion be justified?
If you want more followers of your deranged religion, why not invent a better god that might actually have some good qualities? Your god sounds like a shit and when I meet him to be judged after I die, I will kick his ass.
There's nothing in the least 'righteous' about punishing someone for a 'sin' committed by someone else before they were born.
This is the very basis of Xianity, and where it slips up very time.
And Mariam was supposedly a pregnant virgin, does that means you're condemning Jesus himself?
Edit, Actually, having though about that, the child-bride Mariam was married to Joseph who was supposedly too old to father children, hence the miraculous birth. Ho hum. More BS.
If someone offends your god, he cripples their children?
If, by some ghastly chance, your religion actually turned out to be correct, I'd fucking choose to spend eternity in hell if the alternative was to worship such a creature as your deity.
Ew, fundie.
On the topic: Religious fundamentlaism is a blight on humanity - why do so very few people post stories about fundamentalist Muslims? Is it, perhaps, because they'd offend Muslims, which we must never do?
OK so children "made" out of wedlock are "deformed" (Not)
So what is your excuse for your deformed brain?
Err, that piece of grey meat between yer ears.
Your parents were obviously grievous sinners.
They had you! They must have been really bad sinners to justify being smitten by having you, you evil git.

I'd cheerfully post insane Islamic stuff, I'm happy to diss anyone's imaginary friend. But in my part of the world Muslims keep their heads down and work hard, they tend to keep themselves to themselves. They don't have 24/7 TV and radio trying to convert me and they don't come knocking on my door at weekends. When they do I'll post it.
So uh... Trig Palin.
Yes I went there.
You're forgetting about those pious couples with afflicted children, no?
I guess this "just god" of yours needs the constant practice.
God may punish the parents by giving the baby defects.
Or maybe not. Or maybe He'll give defects to God-loving fundamentalists. If God wants to teach us a lesson, that's a pretty stupid way to do it, since we can't see the correlation between the sin and the punishment.
What John said
(Beaten to it again )
Punishing an unborn child for the "sins" of the parents is not justice. That's just irrational cruelty against defenseless innocents.
And if this omnipotent and omniscient being is really so pissed off that people have sex without a meaningless religious ritual first, why doesn't he simply make all people sterile until they were married? Or better, just make everyone's sex organs completely useless until marriage, then we wouldn't even be able to have sex. Of course, that would only prove him to be an arrogant, narcissistic, control freak asshole, but at least then he isn't purposefully mutilating babies.
"Of course, sometimes parents sin, like having a child out of wedlock. In that situation God may punish the parents by giving the baby defects."
Bzzzzzt!
WRONG!
Read your Babble. Specifically Ezekiel 18:20, which says:
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son : the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
Are you calling god's prophet a liar ?
"This is a righteous punishment for those that do not obey Gods law. God is a just God; one must abandon sin and fear Gods just judgement."
That's not being "just". That's being a bully.
If God was just then how do you explain that to the fucked up baby?
"You're a punishment for your parents' sin. Well, yeah, you have no arms, but your parents had to be taught a lesson. Well, of course you think it sucks that you have no arms. But it really doesn't because this is fair a fair punishment to your parents. Why do you keep insisting that it sucks for you? No, see, it doesn't because you're God's vessel for his retribution on your parents. Isn't that wonderful?"
OBEY ME OR THE BABY GETS IT!
Mat: If you want to see fundie muslim stories here, go out and find some to submit. We've had a few, and they're worse than the christians.
god: If you piss me off, I'll fuck your kid up.
Boy, ya gotta love a god like that.

As he poured his post-prandial tipple,

And that's why He made you a cripple.'"

And people ask: "How can you possibly be a Pagan as you were raised in Christianity?" (I will say my parents were rather "token" in that aspect) I say look at this comment. It's sick. I hope cheetah isn't an adult.
@ Matt: this site has had Muslim quotes. It's the Christian fundies (once again I say not all Christians are bigoted/racist/ignorant. My best sister friend is Christian)
that churn out on a regular basis these insane notions. Since they are about 80-85 % *cue pie chart* of the population of the USA I tend to look at their comments. Equal opportunity offender or something like that, you know?
So apparently my birth defects are the result of both my parents being atheists?
Fuck you, Cheetah100. And fuck your god if by some highly unlikely chance he actually exists.
Righteous and Just are two adjectives I would never apply to your god. Vindictive, fickle, temperamental, childish, sadistic are far better suited to him.
Why worship such an asshole?

No, it's because most of us aren't fluent in Arabic and therefore we have very sparse access to their ramblings. The high volume of Christian quotes on this site is merely a natural consequence of the site being in English and Christianity being by far the domninant religion in the English-speaking world.
Well, then, by that means, abortion is totally okay because most of them are conceived out of wedlock. Fuck you, we win.
I'm sorry for mentioning it again here, but:
I was born with liver problems so dire, the doctors told my parents I probably wouldn't live longer than a few days. Fortunately, however, I had modern medical science and a loving family who wanted me to save me.
Do you really think that could have been caused by the molestation a family member by another received while they were a child? Or would you not consider that a sin?
Please be troll. And die.
You sick piece of shit. Punish the child for the "sins" of its parents. I guess this is all well and good when it's happening to other people.
Oh, and Mat, I figured that most of the quotes on this site were from christians rather than those of other religions was simply due to language. I'm sure if someone was to do FSTDT in arabic or farsi, then most of the quotes would be from islamic fundies, with the occasional christian, as opposed to what we have here.
God is a just God
Yeah, giving the baby a defect because the mother screwed up is "just".
You're god is one sick bastard.
I'm sure this has been said before, but FUCK YOU AND THE BLOOD-SOAKED GOD YOU RODE IN ON.
Asshole motherfucker. I hope you choke to death on a wad of shemale semen.

Such sites exist in Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Tagalog, Polish and Japanese.
And yes, you are right.
this is indirect punishment (or whatever it is called).. its like an abusive husband punishes the mother by beating the child up to near death while forcing the mother to watch... you Cheetah 100 are a despicable human... and God just sent me a memo: he agrees with me too..
BTW: dont your kind say that a child with a "disability" is a gift from god?
Hey cheeta100, God just told me he intends to kill you with fire for abusing his good will.
So in the name of the Good Lord, DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE!
Oh shit, Jesus is going to lay the fucking SMACKDOWN on me because I am a bastard child. D:
...yeah. Right. *eyeroll*
The child can't help being born out of wedlock, why punish the child for the "sins" of the parents? Btw, I know several kids born out of wedlock, and they are all healthy and fairly happy kids. The kids I know with birth defects are born by very married parents.
Isn't god supposed to be a loving god?
"Of course, sometimes parents sin, like having a child out of wedlock. In that situation God may punish the parents by giving the baby defects. This is a righteous punishment for those that do not obey Gods law. God is a just God; one must abandon sin and fear Gods just judgement."
Sarah Palin recently had a child with Down's Syndrome. Whilst IN wedlock. Sarah believes in the Rapture. Like a True Christian should. There's only ONE explanation for this (check one):
[ ] God foresaw what a complete twat Sarah Failin was, especially in the previous election campaign, and decided to punish her in this way. Thus he now favours left-wingers & Democrats. Ergo Obama in the White House. QED.
[ ] Birth defects are merely errors in the child's DNA, that happen because of congenital genetic dysfunction in both parents. Or merely at random. Shit happens. Ergo, God doesn't exist.
Choose wisely. Either way, Sarah's child with DS fucks your theory completely. Your call, cheetah100.
Thread Necromancy!
My friend Billy ((Who has severe autism)) has an older brother named Jay with very severe Down's Syndrome. Both Billy and Jay were born while their parents were married and their father is a devout ((Albeit rational)) Protestant.
Then that same father ditched Billy and Jay's mom for a younger woman, had a son out of wedlock who ended up NOT having any defects. Explain that.
And they wonder why I'm paranoid about people finding out that I'm a bastard. It's because of people like this commenter that I guard myself day and night. Because I'm dead certain if any random Joe or Jane found out about my bastardy, they would spurn me and try to get me kicked out and killed.
The sad thing is I'm fairly certain this is the attitude most people hold towards people born out of wedlock. Ask a person what they think of them, and I guarantee they'd say they don't deserve life.
So can you blame me for being a monster, when everyone around me thinks I am? No, I don't care if my family treated me kindly or that the few I've told the sordid tale of my birth don't seem to care. Deep down in their hearts they think me tainted. They all want me dead or broken.
This is the burden my birth has given me. This is what the price of being a bastard is in this world.
And as I see it, that gives me no other choice but to lie, cheat, steal and kill everyone in my way simply to live.
I don't want to do it. But I cannot scrub out the stigma no matter how hard I try, so there is no choice left to me but to become the monster they fear. I am what I am, after all.
And only by admitting what we are can we get what we want.
Mix Master Mikaeus: Eloquent, but totally wrong. Fundies don't get to tell me what I think "deep down in my heart", and neither does anyone else. Make all the excuses for evil behaviour you want... just don't expect me to believe them.
"Of course, sometimes parents sin, like having a child out of wedlock. In that situation God may punish the parents by giving the baby defects."
...and when the child(ren) is born without defects, thank you for proving that your 'God' doesn't exist.
"God is a just God; one must abandon sin and fear Gods just judgement."
If he is a just god he would not do these things and one would not need live in fear of his judgment unless they actually did wrong.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
