'God', the biggest practitioner of abortion!

Nobody wish them, I never wished for M.S. But how else would humans see that they need a hand to grab, relieving them from the pain?

My comment above doesn't really make sense on it's own. I just said something lighthearted to hopefully lighten the mood, but it didn't feel right, so I redacted it.

Does it not strike you as unfair though, that through random circumstance or Godly whim, some people, like yourself, suffer far more than others in order to be 'tested'? What it strikes me as is capricious, how could you ever trust such a god? And if the OT is anything to go by, that capriciousness, doesn't just apply to individuals but to whole groups; whole peoples destroyed for the sins of a few, or as pawns in someone else's moral lessons.

I thank God for making me humble through this M.S, to thank him and also thank whoever helped me and people like me, let it be the inventor(s) of Interferon, the researchers who studied this condition, or the people who understood what I have.

I am truly sorry about your condition, but thanking and worshipping the god you believe gave it to you, on a whim no less, makes no sense. You owe yourself more than that. Be thankful to the people around you, who have helped you and studied the condition... that makes sense... but to be thankful to the unseen hand you believe gave you the condition in the first place... makes no sense at all. Like I said before, I think love and respect (or gratitude and worship) should be earned, not just given by default to an assumed creator.

God doesn't have feelings like ours, he is wise and so practical.

I remember this verse from the Quran, where God explains himself:

That quote still does not explain the arbitrary/random allocation of 'provisions' in this sense. Nature alone far better explains the apparent lottery of misery in our world, rather than some unseen hand capriciously orchestrating it all for the moral guidance of some at the expense of others.

I don't think of it as "unfair"; but rather I examine the whole picture.
The disease made me discover the most precious gift in my life: "being humble".

I remember how I was arrogant before the diagnosis, I took life for granted, now I laugh at arrogant people whispering the words: "dude; you are nothing but a fragile Central Nervous System, any scar in its center can reduce you to...a fatigued wreck".

I count my blessings more accurately now.

Like Aristotle said:

[b]Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain[/b]

Instead of thinking of it as a disease, maybe it's better to think of it as very complicated and hard school subject

Imma look into getting my kids some polio, see if that improves their math scores.

No, make them play Metal Gear: Solid instead.

While this is an interesting theory, it will likely do little to persuade others of the lack of a god.  In fact your argument uses unprovable data (# of individuals potentially born) and thus loses any credibility.

god so loved the world, it killed everything for its continued utterly incompetent, shortsighted blunders.
