Do you believe in God? Simple question

[Chilanter]

That's another thing that always has me questioning any high being. If God was great and all loving, why would he have an Earth like this? Or why would he allow people to be born with abnormalities? You ever walk through CHOA? That'll make you question things real quick. Later, QD.[/QUOTE]

Just another point of view,
Say we have a operating system, computer programs, and a administrator.
Lets say the administrator designed the computer programs to have free will
These programs were designed to work the operating system in which they were programed.
Now these programs are wondering where and why they came from.
These ideas came from free will is an attribute which was designed in them.
So the administrator uploads a certain application to a program to convey understanding to the other programs on their
level of understanding of why they exist.
No matter how much these computer programs debate an question who and why this operating system works this way,
they will never really come to a conclusion because their just programs with limitations that exist only through
through the will of the administrator.


Lets replace the operating system with this planet earth
The computer programs with humans.
The administrator with god.
An the uploaded application with the Quran.

That certainly never answered the point of my question. Later, QD.

Indeed.

Plus, following that example, why did god then create computer viruses?

Especially those that slowly kill children who never had a chance to live their life and most likely don't even understand what is happening to them.
