I mean, doesn't he share some of the responsibility for my damnation. He didn't have to make me so stubborn, did he?

He didn't make you stubborn. You made yourself stubborn. He created us with free will and choice. So you made the choice to be stubborn. Quit blaming God for an action that you can change.

You made yourself stubborn. He can help make you unstubborn though. Just ask Him.......if you're not stubborn enough.
Btw, this is a really stupid question. I think you have a lot of unnecessary anger, and you aim it all at God.
If you don't want to repent, thats your problem, but don't go blaming it on God. He offered you salvation, it would be your fault for not taking it.

There are ways that will break your stubbornness that come with the course of like. When you hurt so much that you can barely stand to live, you'll have to make your choice. Maybe your parent will die. Maybe a sibling or a child or a spouse. At that moment, you will have to make a choice. Will you believe that life is cruel or will you believe that there is something more after death.

For it is written, "For God would have it that none should perish, but all come to the saving knowledge of Christ." Your inability to repent is the lack of saving faith which comes from hearing the Gospel. The more you reject the Gospel the harder your heart becomes until a time that God will not contend with you any more. Also the devil is on your case putting fear in your heart that prevents you from repenting. I am an Evangelist and teach on such things. In street witness I find that fear strikes people right at the time when asked to repent. I bind that spirit of fear in Jesus' name in them I do in you right now. You have been released from fear right now, so repent and believe right now. Get to a Spirit Filled church for them to lay hands on you to impart the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Sounds like it's time for you to take some personal responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming God.
I don't believe you're damned, anyway. I've heard it said that the only unforgivable sin is believing you can't be forgiven.
This isn't a "get out of jail free card". It's an opportunity that you can accept or throw away. That's your free will.

A mother tells the four year old to put the toy back. He defiantly looks at her and says,no. She tells him again put the toy back, louder he says, NO, I want it. She removes the toy from his fingers and places it back on the shelf. He throws himself on the floor and proceeds to show how stubborn he can really be. Everyone has seen this from one time or another in a shopping mall, etc. Whose fault is it, is it the mother's for refusing to buy the toy or is it the child who wanted the toy? Suppose she gives in and gets the toy. Will this satisfy the child or will he continue to another, and another and another? Will the child care for the toy he so defiantly fought for or will he destroy it out of yet another angry rage? So who made who stubborn. I think if you look closely it wasn't God but you.

A lot of people have problems with lust. Does that mean that God shares with them their problems with lust? God is perfect, don't blame your inadequacies on Him. However, you can cast them on Him. I don't believe that he "created" your so-called stubborn nature, it's all just part of the sinful nature we all inherit from our parents (and their fathers, and their fathers, etc.).
A lot of people are stubborn to repent because they fail to love God more than they love their sin. I don't know exactly what to tell you to remedy this, but I do know this: Don't be hesitant to ask God for repentance, cleansing, forgiveness. There are probably a lot of people who will find themselves in hell when they die because they were hesitant to repent, because they loved their sin and the pleasures that it brought them.

God didnt make you stubborn. There are demonic influence that are responsible for such things. God sent scriptures and reading them teaches you to open your heart to wise influences. You can change your stubborness any time you choose to or you'll deal with the consequences of it.

He didn't make you stubborn, you choose to be stubborn (free will).
There's a saying that goes: A hard head makes for a soft behind.

God didn't make you stubborn you did. God gave you choice and you chose not to repent.
