And no, it's not the idiot from Virginia. This is in India. He is, however, a member of the BJP, the "Darjeeling Tea Party".

Goa chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Wednesday said some people are born with disabilities due to the "mistake" and "negligence" committed by God.

"There are some brothers and sisters in the society, who are born with certain disabilities. God forgets to give them certain things. That is negligence on the part of God and for that the child has to suffer for entire life," Parsekar said....

"CM Parskear, while speaking at the inauguration of 'We Care Film Festival' on disability at Chowgule college, Margao has said disabled people are mistake of God and NGOs are doing yeoman service by serving the disabled in rectifying God's mistake," DRAG chief Avelino D'Sa said in a statement here.

"DRAG strongly objects to this statement and clarified that if God has created a person disabled it is to show people the power of God. Disabled people have more strength and will power and they are differently-abled, hence they are stronger than the normal people," he added.

For openers, which god? Hinduism has thousands!

5. A related article in the Times of India noted that Bhopal had a high number of them.

Bhopal, of course, being the scene of the Union Carbide chemical disaster decades ago.

2. In some circles, this would be apostastolic.

Mistakes: God doesn't make them.

4. So this guy believes in God but thinks he makes mistakes?

6. God has made some whopper of mistakes in his career.

1/3 of His angels rebel against him, man rebels against him, has to wipe out man a few times and start over. Gives Satan power over the Earth (oops). Gives some poor creature a bill that looks like a duck, but is a mammal. Tells us we MUST love Him, but gives us all free will.

Hot Pockets. There is no good reason for Hot Pockets.

All in all I give God a C+.

7. He thinks God makes mistakes?

Maybe Parsekar makes mistakes. This is something that probably never crossed his mind.
I wonder if anyone is going to call him out for heresy.
