Why do you suppose some people are more than willing to blame God or whoever for their troubles.....?

Question

instead of taking responsibility for their own actions? Do you think that most times it may be because they are young and don't know better or are they really that native that they think it really is someone else's fault?
Just curious.

Answer 1

Some people do this as a way to cope, and they really know that it's their fault. It's helpful to create the facade of infallibility, when you can't quite handle admitting you screwed up. Other people sincerely are oblivious. It is easier to blame someone else than to examine your conscience, or think about something that troubles you, so some people just fail to look into it themselves, and stay content with blaming others. Other people use this immediately, because it is the safest, quickest, and oftentimes most obvious reaction. When they later, or even quickly realize, they attempt to save face by maintaining the outward appearance of what they first said being true. Those who are young may not have been taught to analyze a situation, so their response would be true to them. Others may just fail to consider the option of their own mistake, and still others prefer not to be so honest with themselves. God is a common scapegoat, because we have been taught that he is omniscient and omnipotent, so we feel that he sould be made to take blame for the problems in our lives. I think for the most part, people who insist this are trying to mask their true responsibility.

Answer 2

Because it's easier to think that an uncontrolable power is inflicting bad luck on them, rather than face the responsibility of whatever action they took or did not take in the past, is the reason they're failing.

Answer 3

Buck Passing is ingrained in human blood. This is mainly experienced with those who, as you said, don't want to take the responsibility or those who are overburdened.
Coming to your special case, people are advocated by priests/fathers to pass the buck on to the god- AND FORGET THAT ISSUE.
When they are asking you to forget the issue, the intention behind is to make you cool/forget for the time being. Once you come out of the tension then you automatically find a definition to your problems and the answer lies around.
Thats it ----

Answer 4

Because guilt is sometimes very hard to deal with, as is facing yourself. and it's so much easier to pass the buck to God or others rather than face painful facts. And yes youth does play into that because it can take years of forcing yourself to look at yourself before it becomes habit. So the more mature are more likely to accept their faults that led to their problems, and the less mature will just look for something that allows for them to continue on feeling like a good person.

Answer 5

Satan raises havoc with the human race because they chose not to follow God's plan. God allows the people to do as they wish because that is what free choice is all about.

God gets blamed for all the bad stuff and satan thinks he is off the hook.

People would fault God for interfering, and yet when He doesn't he is faulted for that as well.

Mankind messed up a perfect plan and then blames God because its messed up.

SHEESH............ TWO FACED BACK BITING UNGRATEFUL HUMANS...

Answer 6

It started from the beginning with Adam and Eve. Adam blamed eve and eve blamed the snake then it all seems to point back at God for creating the one who chooses to oppose him by being selfish and prideful. Someone would says "why God causes this or that?" but Sin brings forth destruction because of mankind sinful nature. People are naive especially the ones who don't serve him and also the ones who are weak when trials,tribulations and persecutions they jump ship!

Answer 7

Well some people do what they are supposed to do and work hard every day. They tith to the church or temple or whatever and follow their religion. They go to church or temple with an open heart and are saved or whatever their church/temple says they are supposed to be and yet they can't seem to make ends meet. How do you explain that? Or how do you explain the fact that some people are rich and don't do as their own faith would have them do. They are bad people all around and yet they have all the money to do whatever they want. Money can't make you happy but it can give you a house to live in and food on your plate. It can give you clothing to wear and medications to take when you are ill.

Answer 8

People blame God because it's easier to make Him the scapegoat for their problems, than to accept responsibility for their own actions or lack of action.

Answer 9

Quite probably because they have had religion and all it's false hopes rammed down their throats since they were children. God, Religion and the Bible are some of the most evil and destructive influences on humanity ever invented by mankind.

Any intelligent person can look at the Bible today and realise the false hopes it raises amongst gullible minds, especially children, but at the end of the day the Bible is trash.

The Bible is the biggest load of garbage and codswallop ever written by man, and I’m sure it will go down in history as the greatest load of gobbledygook ever to inflict such traumatic mental and physical damage on humanity, but still today, some people sadly believe the Bible to be true. That’s very sad indeed. Very sad.

When people quote various passages from the Bible, for example ...

Mathew 5:29-30 God encouraged self-mutilation.
Isaiah 13:15-18 God allowed women raped and little children slaughtered.
Genesis 6:11-17 and 7:11-24 God is the greatest mass murder in history.

What happens? Religious people pop up from under every stone with the same old garbage. “That was the old Bible, or we’ve changed the meaning, or wrong interpretation, or we’ve changed the context, or the quotes are out of context or or or, excuse after excuse.”

The fact is, they are Bible quotes, and the Bible is full of evil atrocities which religious people continually cover up, yet seem happy to drum into the minds of gullible little children. This is such a shameful disgrace in a civilised world.

If religious people are unable to apply commonsense and logic to develop a simple moral code to live by, then perhaps they could strip out of the Bible the evil, murders, rapes, abuse, and all traumatic references. Granted there will not be a lot left to read, but at least religious people may end up with a decent moral code to follow based on good, and not scare the living daylights out of innocent little children.

Of course some religious people will blame their God for their troubles, they obviously, and quite rightly so, feel betrayed. But, it's religious people who have betrayed them, not a fantasy man made creation.

Answer 10

Well I think that is a real good question! It is hard to stay faith full to the Lord in the bad situations, but easier to blame him, and become weak. sometimes something bad would happen I would ask God why he was punishing me, but in fact he was blessing me, making me wiser and stronger. Our fleshes are all verry weak. I think that it is natural to blame others, instead of admitting you made the mistake!!!!!

I think that we would all be better off if we gave all our problems to God and let him take care of it! He wants to! when something bad happens we need to pray to him and rebuke the devil.
