Depression is often considered to be a form of darkness. As compared to walking in the truth and in the light.
My Mum is a Christian. She suffers from chronic depression and is an alcoholic. How do you explain this? That her faith isn't strong enough? Or maybe because she's had to raise the kids alone for the last ten years with what little money she could in a country where she has no friends, no family and no one to help her. Honestly John.

Somewhere in the world, a child is dying from a preventable disease. It doesn't have to be this way. Google 'Against Malaria'.

You need to divide to conquer. The enemy will try to isolate someone to try and destory them. There is safety in number. One can send a thousand to flight, but two can send ten thousand to flight.
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
And I am bipolar, is that because I have sinned? Or is it because I was blamed by my parents for their nasty two year long divorce, then forced to live on the streets for a year and a half, unable to make money because of child labor laws?
I use to read a lot of the reports on my daddy desk and I would say yes, a lot of the kids out there are mixed up and confused because of the mess that the parents have made out of things. My brother was head of the psy dept of the childrens hospital here. He will admit that they tend to medicate kids when they should be giving the medication to the parents. Of course now that my dad has died and they have new laws about that, we have destroyed all of the medical records. I would have liked to have kept them, but that is just the way it is now a days.
viruses were created because people are sinful and they are a way to remove sin from society.
So viruses were created after the "fall"? How do viruses remove sin from society? Unnecessary misery and death seems a bit extreme. Can you show any studies measuring the level of sin in a society and the number of deaths and infections due to viruses?

I see, blame the victim. Surely an omnipotent god could up with something more efficient and more discriminating.
