P.S. Heh. Bring up the concept of 'evil' and my mind starts to wander. Personally, I don't think God faults us for 'moral weakness' or 'lack of faith' if someone needs to take a psychoactive medication to correct a psychological impairment. Human life isn't perfect in this world -- He knows we cannot survive unless we help and know and assist one another to the best of our ability. So it is an honour that Sakura trusts us enough to seek out our various opinions on her concern. It is equally humbling that so many of us are willing to listen seriously and be there for her.
To me, the more we learn about ourselves, and the more we study the limits of our own minds and the structure of nature in the grand measure of the world, the more awesome God, and his gifts to us, are made glorified (Ps 19). In other words, as Brunnen-G says, why should He be only a "God of the gaps we haven't yet figured out"? In yet other words, why should God's work in creation and salvation be solely defined by -- and therefore restricted by -- a plodding fixation that what He has done already is EVERYTHING that He has done, and because of that, trying to look for explanations outside of Christ (to understand mental disorders and so on) is somehow intrinsically faithless?
