Honestly, I'm a bit disturbed that "blemished" (deformed) people were said to defile the holy place in Leviticus. Though I understand that deformities are unsettling, people afflicted with them can't help how they were born. At least God didn't command them to be put to death, which would be even more disturbing...though I wish someone would have the courage to preach about these difficult passages which no one ever seems to mention. Leviticus is a barrier to many people's faith, so I don't think these topics ought to be neglected.
