SOL Says: "Some human beings are created with birth defects or Downs Syndrome. They are no less precious or no less loved than the rest of us, but you would not say that they are perfect creations. They are created by God for reasons known only to him and we can only try to guess why. There is no ironclad rule that God is obligated to create perfection each and every time as you seem to imply. He is the boss and does as he pleases."

Rabbi, I have apologized for any ridicule perceived from my early posts to this thread, but that statement above of yours is over the top. If I believed in a God of any sort it would have to be one of imperfection, compassion, and forgiveness, not some character that comes off like Henry Ford.

Your God created my son for reasons of his own and neither my son nor I nor his mother are supposed to know why? He created this imperfect human so he would have more trouble getting through life than others (but less than some of his classmates)? And that's okay huh? He's "The Boss" and he knows all AND keeps it a secret!

Say what?

Once again, I'd prefer to be having this discussion face to face but at this point.............gimmee peace.........no, not you Bruce......
