Well I believe that god makes people suffer to make them strong survivors. Patients gives you a rich reward at the end.

Well, I'm an atheist, but if God was real then I don't think he'd do it directly. For the most part, I think that if God was real he might have select 'chosen' people that he controls the actions of and the others are free will. That way, God has the real insight rather than the outsider's view.
If there is a God, that's the sort of thing I'd expect the God to do. But not make people suffer. Rather to just observe them in any natural/free-will sufferings. (For instance, he might observe and control a Doctor, to see how people reacct to illnesses, but he wouldn't cause the illness itself.)

Lets see if I still have the energy.
What does that have to do with anything I said?

You said that you thought God would make people suffer.
I said that if there was a God, I wouldn't believe he'd do that.
In a very very long way.

Don't think so. "He might observe and control a doctor". You sure?

By that, I meant sufferings that came from natural events that weren't caused by God (such as getting an illness) and free-will sufferings are those that are caused by people.
And when I said control, I didn't mean as in little things like choosing which colour tie he wears to work. I meant like choosing the direction they take in life and seeing the people reaccting around that person. But I really don't believe that any of these Gods that people believe in would cause people direct suffering.

I know what you ment, my point is that you didn't REALLY say he wouldn't do that so thats why I wondered what it had to do with me.

This one lady was in the hospital, only living by a needle. She was suffering and wanted to die. She took the needle out, then realizing committing suicide would send her to hell. She tried to put it back in but had already frozen up and died. If you were God, would you send her to hell.

IF I WERE GOD...

I would NOT send her to hell
