Dude.......
It is because people are ignorant.
Actually speaking we shouldn't blame God or Satan, but find the root of the problem? Why?
Because, Firstly
the problems that take place in today's world is due to the imperfections of the world, due to the sin of our first parents Adam & Eve.
Secondly,
God has given us a conscience, and formation of conscience in the right way is important.
Thirdly,
If you are ignorant of the Word of God, Satan will enter in you and provoke you to blame God.
Fourthly,
Satan tempts people to sin, God has given us conscience to understand whether your action is good or bad.
Fifthly,
If a person does not have proper understanding & spiritual knowledge, then he will definitely blame God during when the situation is bad for him. This is the leading cause why peple trn away from God and end up in blaming him.
Sixthly
Problems & temptations are a part of life, we should learn to face it and not be cowards and simply blame God for nothing.During bad times we should pray to God to strengthen us and protect us from the snares of the Devil.We should grow in faith & love
Last but not the least
God loves us and wants to see us always happy. So therefore there is no point in blaming God for no reason.

Ultimately God is in charge of everything. Even the awful things that Satan does, God allows to happen. The problem is we are simple people who can't see the whole picture. Only someone as vast as our Lord can see how each incident is part of a whole picture only He can see... and from His view, its beautiful. Have you heard the analogy of the beautiful tapestry? If you turn a tapestry over, you see a mess. A jumbled conglomeration of strings going every which way that have no rhyme or reason, and its quite ugly. We are the small things looking up at the underside of His beautiful tapestry. From His view (looking down} it's beautiful... but from our view we see a mess we don't think is worthy of this great God.

The real thing at fault is humanity. No one else is responsible for the atrocities in the world. Why cant' theists see this instead of blaming things on imaginary friends (ie. God, Satan, Santa Clause).

1) Because, intrinsically, everyone believes in God. Many do not say this, but they think , If there is a God, I am really upset with him. Everyone knows intrinsically also that God controls all things. They do not blame the devil because evil does not look out for them. They do not blame themselves, for this would mean that they were inherently evil. They blame God, because, illogical as it is, they know He exists even while denying it. 2) People are too scared to admit there is a real devil. Pure and simple.

I don't blame anyone.
I don't believe that either God or Satan has added to my error. Things go wrong, that is life. Nothing lasts forever, we just have to be more aware of what is going on around us.
My washing machine was leaking....... I looked at it and it turned out that a pipe had worked loose.
My car broke down.... Turned out that oil was leaking into the filter because of wear and tear.
I burned my dinner this evening..... I was playing with my children and lost track of time.
All of the above is hardly work from another being. They are just things that happened because I didn't pay attention to them.

Satan can only influence those that let him into their thoughts and hearts...God is in all hearts even the wicked ones trying ot work his magic, and he knew you before you were born and what you would do in life..so any heardships in your life are there for a a reason everything from death of a loved one, top theft to a disease to life running smoothy cause you are rich...its what you do with your time in life that matters..help others, pray to God, let him in, don't waste your time with things you know are wicked (hurting others, stealing ,drugs alcohol,murder, crime, hate, ectg ect ect) be kind to others and in the end (when it really matters when you are at heavens door...)God will take you in his embrace and hold you there for eternity

I think they do for 2 reasons: 1. because God is the one who lets such things happen, Satan will always will bad things to happen, but God lets them happen, when he wishes to.
2. because they don't see that the Lord has a bigger plan, and what seems to be bad can be for the good...

I think that people do not understand who God is. I also think that we should accept blame if it is our fault. God has a definate plan, so to blame things on him when it is our fault is the wrong way to respond to a problem.

God is never to blame for bad things that happen:_ "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man." JAMES 1:13
Satan and his demons are to blame for all wickedness. Satan misleads many people into thinking God is to blame and so he is able to turn many against God because they allow him to influence their thinking. How sad___
God will soon destroy Satan and his demons and all who follow his way of thinking. God loves mankind and will soon rescue all meek ones who have faith in him and faith in what he has promised us.

You've got a good point, everyone likes to forget about God on a daily basis and not appreciate everything he's given us, but the moment all hell breaks loose they're like "ohhhhh why did God doooo this?"
