Re: You slightly misinterrupted what I said....

IMO I never said that people who were mental or physically challenged were not perfect.

I probably didn't explain fully either. You see in out religion we are given bodies as a test to rpove our faith to god. But in this test we must pass through a Vail that takes all our knowldge of the pre mortal existance. But sometimes thats not the only thing taken from us. Sometimes we lose something in translation. A birth defect, mental disabilities, what have you. As we die we are then restored to our perfect form in heaven. Every hear on your head shall be restored. God has perfect body and therefore if we die should we not have a perfect body as well when we rejoin him? This is what I was taught and what I believe. Its not a strike against or demeaning against anyone who is mentally or physically handicapped at all.
