Well, then hell broke loose, because not even people within one same religious group had the same concept of what was being like God wanted us to be or to accept what God "has given us".
Ha!That's always my favorite argument. Everyone says God doesn't make mistakes, we should accept ourselves as we are, embrace what God has given us..........until their kid is born with a hole in his heart or a cleft palate or clubbed feet.....I guess God only gives people fat thighs or small boobs. If we all really left ourselves as we are, deformities and diseases and all, a lot of us wouldn't be here. I just don't think people should get all righteous and pick and choose which of God's creations they want to accept and which ones they don't.
If it's okay to improve one aspect of yourself that is 'natural' it should all be okay. The same people who disapprove of brow lifts and nose jobs because of vanity wouldn't blink an eye at someone with a big port wine birthmark covering half their face being lasered off.

How can you not see that there's a difference between correcting a deformity or health problem, and getting carved up when there's nothing abnormal about you, in order to conform to an artificial standard of beauty?
