c'mon over here and let me explain the facts of life to you. As an adult with disabilities I have a perspective you may find enlightening. Jesus would never do this, so why do you feel the need to do so?

There is no biblical reference I am aware of which speaks of punishing those in need of Christian love and acceptance. I grew up as the son of a Presbyterian minister and have more than enough bible in me to speak to this.
