Why did God make ugly people?

by **tiernan** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 4:49 am

I'm not trying to slander the less-than-attractive, the pimpled, the double-chinned, the flat-chested women, the bald people, etc. BUT if God is always good and never makes mistakes, and if God is always just, then why did God make some people amazingly beautiful but some people with shockingly pitiful physical traits. And yes, I know the phrases "Beauty is only skin-deep" and "Beauty is the eyes of the beholder", but I'm asking serious. Why would a loving, kind God make someone who will be stared at in life or who will be looked down upon because of looking strange in appearance? I am a Christian, but I have wondered this from time to time. Looking forward to some enlightening answers.

I'm not a theist, but there are several obvious answers to this question.
First of all, according to Christianity, God loves all his creations, which probably means he wouldn't consider some of them ugly. What society considers ugly isn't necessarily similar to how God feels about his creations.

Secondly, many Christians argue that God is testing those who have a hard and difficult life.

It's called the "balance of nature". For every win, there has to be a loss. For every happy moment, there has to be a sad moment. For every beginning, there has to be an end. For every gorgeous perfect-in-every-way person, there has to be a drappy looking ugly plain-jane or plain-john. If God made all people as beautiful as he could, and if nobody was plain-looking, then that might make the world sort of boring if everyone was beautiful. I hope this answer makes sense.

God is not to blame for a person being "ugly". If there is a reason that some persons are less attractive than others, that reason is sin and imperfection. Because our first parents were disobedient and passed on sin and imperfection to the human race, that would result in things such as birth defects or some undesirable physical traits. But God is not the blame for that.

I don't think that girl is that beautiful. I think the girl I like is the most beautiful girl in the world. But then some of my friends said "ew she looks Chinese". I don't really see how she looks even one bit Chinese but I guess its all personal taste.

God did not make ugly people.

Ugly people make themselves.

There is nothing uglier than a person with a selfish character.

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I happen to like flat-chested women. Nothing wrong with an A cup... more than a mouth full is just a waste anyways.

I predict they'll something along the lines of "Everybody's beautiful in their own way".
