Disease comes by sin. If Jesus headed blindness, then the blind would have some other handicap replacing blindness. As long as there is sin in this world, there's going to be handicaps and sickness.

Jesus is good at heading things? Maybe Spurs should have signed him instead of Peter Crouch. (He'd fit right in at Tottenham, would Jesus; he was a nice Jewish boy!).
Christians 4 Jews? No thanks mate, we don't want any.
WTF!
If "d" was close to "l" on the keyboard then this might be excusably (mistype)nearly coherent, but "d" and "l" are opposite fucking sides of the keyboard!
Then again given the babble the fundies come out with, maybe they have different keyboards to the rest of us!
"Disease comes by sin. [...] As long as there is sin in this world, there's going to be handicaps and sickness."
Uh, I thought Jebus died for our sins. You know, wiped them all out and such. If not then what the fuck was the point of Jesus and if so then why is there still sin?
More specifically, why do Christians have disabilities and disease when they're "cleansed in the Blood" or "born again" and, thus, should be sinless? At the very least everything that was wrong with them prior to that point should be miraculously cured as "all their sins are forgiven," right?
"If Jesus headed blindness, then the blind would have some other handicap replacing blindness. "
The handicap is called religion.
Impressive --- this person manages to fail at both science AND theology at the same time!
"Disease comes by sin."
Someone here seems to be stuck in the Dark Ages --- which is some feat, while posting on the Internet. I suggest you look up "germ theory"; it's very cutting-edge, having been all the rage in medicine for only about 200 years or so.
"If Jesus hea[l]ed blindness, then the blind would have some other handicap replacing blindness."
I'd love to see you discuss this with an actual Christian theologian, who would then acquaint you with the term "heresy." Not that it matters --- it would be like fans of Buffy and Twilight arguing over the nature of vampires, which are only slightly less fictitious than your so-called god.

I beg to difer!
Evolution-based medicine claims, quite rightly, that when a cure is administered to a disease, a resistant strain of that disease can evolve if the cure isn't administered in a way guaranteed to prevent this from happening.
And this resistant strain will take the place of the original disease.
So, it was kinda like, Jesus would say, "You are now healed of blindness, gratz", and then walk off, and then you'd be left on the floor shouting "WHY DON'T MY LEGS WORK?!"
What a loving god you worship.
tracer: I think he meant that when you cure a germ-based/viral disease, you don't immediately get another one because you're sinning. It makes sense in context of the OP's post :P
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
