I'm not quite sure who you're referring to but I did bring up the issue of the AIDS virus when I asked why a loving God would create such a thing which would cause such misery for mankind and I never suggested that it was a manmade virus. New viruses and other microbes are constantly evolving and creating new strains which according to those who believe that God created all life should mean that God is actually the driving force which causes this to happen. I'm merely asking why he would do such a cruel thing.

"loving God" is a religious brainwashing tool -- when someone brainwashed you, you have been told God created all the good things in the world, but he had nothing to do with the bad things.

Now, "raised and taught" people did not think: how did God pick and choose to create somethings and left out other things?

That makes God as revisionable, and then the quoted use for the word 'God', but why so we refuse God for the science we have stuck our heads in the ground about? Agnosticism could have an end to the world explained much for the Ground we come home to. In other words, We trust in the God of our choice for the Facts of Revelation.
