I'm not really knowledgeable, I'm a compulsive reader. Leviticus has a few horrid laws about "blemishes" which would probably include birth defects.

Religion is in many ways a very sad social and spiritual near failure. I don't mean that many or even most people don't have faith, but they tend to have a very narrow idea of history. A few facts, a lot of nonsense, deliberately obtuse (stupid on purpose)And always looking for an enemy.

So very, very sad, because even though I'm agnostic, I feel the very best ideas of religion--the ones that embrace humanity and the human experience with love and honor, are very admirable. To twist these best of the best ideals for the purposes of subjugation and oppression--which has been done time and time again though out history-- to fit an personal crusade or agenda is heinously cruel and evil.
