Origin of freak of nature Expand
1840-1850
I didn't make that term up Votive.
The term "freak of nature" is simply a way of describing someone born with abnormal physical features, whatever they may be, and not necessarily se*ual.
And I agree with you that we are all created by the Lord.

I know you didn't create the term. But I advise you, if ever you're in a crowd, and someone is there who has been born with some kind of deformity or abnormality, or tells you he or she is a hermaphrodite, please don't tell them you think they are a "freak of nature".
You will lose your witness and never get another chance to evangelize that person. To call someone a freak in this way would serve no better than to call a black person "colored". It will hurt just as much, and do as much psychological damage.
