This is one of the main reasons I don't understand the religious viewpoint. All the mental gymnastics required to understand something like a birth defect. "Why would God allow it?" "It must be Satan causing hydrocephalus babies!" "Couldn't God, if he loves innocent babies, prevent Satan from causing hydrocephalus?"
All this cosmic drama with good and evil players, battling back and forth to either cause, or prevent, (in this case) birth defects!
When the answer is simply, the natural process of reproduction sometimes doesn't work perfectly. Sometimes the development of the fetus gets messed up, simple as that, no need for a cosmic battle between good and evil to explain it.

Are you saying that it is really great that we got deformed babies from science?

We didn't "get deformed babies from science," it's just that science explains why babies sometimes come out deformed.
The nice thing about the scientific explanation is, there is no intent. No one "meant" to make the babies deformed. It's not some sinister Uber-Demon named Satan, giggling and rubbing his hands together as he gleefully causes hydrocephalus babies, and there is no Mega Good Guy to blame for failing to protect the babies from this horrible condition.
No being is causing it, no being is to blame for failing to prevent it. There is no intent, it's a natural process that doesn't work perfectly 100% of the time. That's it, nothing more.

U asked about things not related to this thread, I answered.
It was not good enough, so you kept asking more and I answered.
But... Since the division between science and religion began to dwindle, you had to point to other issues which you didn't even know.
And since it's not a SINGLe dogma, like the faiths you know... You are trying to make it like those.
So basically, have zero sense of the religion you are questioning simply to make it seem like Abrahamic ones.
When you want to discuss and have your ears open, then reply.
Good night.

Science attempts to explain things. Many times science comes up short or just gets it wrong. Science is based on preconceived assumptions, many times the assumptions on which the science was based is just wrong.
No god or being or Satan is responsible for deformed babies. The sin of Man brought the curse of death into the world and that curse brings the horrors of evil with it.
God offered to instruct Man on how to live his life but we rejected Him. You can't blame Him for any of the problems in the world since the world has rejected God's commandments.

What is Hinduism?
Let's see the answer from someone who knows so much on it.
What is Hinduism in your definition?

I knew I should have stoned more adulterers. I guess this is all my fault.

As the story goes, everything in the Bible has, at the very least, his stamp of approval.

Death is simply the transition of the material body to return back to the earth, heat, water, air and elements while the soul that is indestructible and primeval moves into another body- Since those are the literal words of God (Bhagavad Gita chapter 2)
Sin never had a part in it as sin doesn't exists.
Yes, So should we start by shaving your head and putting you on a donkey for one day for the grave offense of consuming beef?
Upanishad law dictates eating beef as equal to murder of one's mother.

There are a lot of literal words of God that say literally different things.

If you're addressing me (It helps to use the quote function or identify whom you're talking to) I never said that god never explains himself, but ". . .obviously god doesn't feel he needs to explain any of his actions, and often doesn't."

Okay, then let me rephrase, how did you come to the conclusion that God doesn't feel the need to explain? Surely you've heard numerous pastors talk about homosexuality being a choice. If you don't think that those pastors are representing God well then that's your right, but then don't say that God doesn't feel the need to explain Himself. I think that on this matter He has.

No, Shubhankar, TS is really interested in Hinduism. I think his chosen deity is Mother Kali. Moral: Never be rude to anyone. You might know them fully.

He's capable of explaining, but has chosen not to, which is evidenced by the lack of explanation. So . . . . . . . . .
Actually, very seldom do I ever listen to pastors; however, I've certainly read the opinion before, and can easily believe that some pastors go along with it.
Then how about answering my question:
God condemns homosexual acts [as abominations and vile affections] because ______________________fill in the blank____________________ .
Because I haven't found the answer in the Bible.

Lots of species have no males; only females.
Male and female is essential to *sexual reproduction*, not to life.
