God and Depression

[AntEmpire]

Why would god make people with mental disorders? (my sister is bi-polar, I have mild depression, my mother had constant anxiety)

Now for this thread assume a supreme being that created humanity exists. Why would he/she/it if it cared for the people it was creating make them with mental disorders? This can slippery slop slide into discussions about retardation, or even physical or even babies that are born and destined to die a painful death weeks later, etc.

Maybe to see how others take care for them?

Awesome. If i was created it was as a test to see whether or not other people would help out someone with my personality.

Wouldn't an all knowing God know? is what i think he was asking. I'm like 99% sure, but I may have been created slightly retarded so i dunno.

Ah i think i understand what you were saying more.

No if god was all knowing, he would know the will even if it were a free will. If god isn't all knowing, it makes him a little less godly so i usually use the first in hypotheticals.

Why? That seems to be fairly bleak. I'd rather be just an accidental slight fecked up person then a created fecked up on purpose to see how other people would react, person.
