Phil,

I noticed that when reading the NIV where God was telling Moses to confront
Pharoh, and Moses was saying that he could not speak well, God says
something like this:

"Who made man's mouth?  Who makes him deaf or mute?  Who gives him sight or
makes him blind?  Is it not I, the Lord?"  So, unless the translation is
inaccurate, it sounds like God does make people to have disabilities.  What
do you all think?
