Its easier to blame anyone else, even God, for things they cannot understand or accept. Its part of human nature.

because if they are lonely in life or hateful than who else is there to blame? I mean I am full christian but I honestly believe that you decide what happens in your life and that sometimes its nobodys problem but there own. It is very wrong to blame god for your problems. I mean I understand the deal of sickness, death and things like that and then it only seems like the only possible solution, but blaming somebody isnt going to make it better so we all just need to work together in life.

Probably because God (if you are a believer) set the standard for humanity's problems in the first place. For example ....
God is the greatest mass murderer in history.
References: Genesis 6:11-17 and Genesis 7:11-24
Some examples:
GE 6:13 - And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
GE 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Seems to me that God (for you believers) is annoyed with humanity other than his buddy Noah, and decides to kill (murder) every living thing on the face of the earth, except of course Noah and his family - got to have a few friends left.
God also allowed women raped and your little children slaughtered.
From God’s so called Bible - Isaiah 13:15-18
“Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children.”
How any decent person can believe and follow the Bible is beyond imagination, seems like religious people just ignore the bits they dislike and twist the rest into a happy delusion, much like the behaviour of drug addicts.
Perhaps if God had been a nice fellow and set a higher standard, they wouldn't blame God so much. He was the teacher according to people who believe.

They're looking for a cop-out. If someone is BORN ugly or with defects, then that person has every right to blame God for creating him/her that way. However, to blame God for one's failures in life instead of accepting responsibility is immature.

I don't believe in God so I don't blame him for any of my problems - I am responsible for my life
HOWEVER I do blame the idea of God for all the problems in the world - ie wars - because they are mostly started due to religion and there are more problems because of that than anything else in the world

Some people may blame Him because they know he is in control of everything, so when something bad happens to them (any problems) they know he could have done something about it. Although God does put problems in our life, they make us stronger and each problem we face is a test on our faith. If we take God's way, we are following in His footsteps and if not, we need to find our path to him.

I have no idea. Some people seem to believe that atheists are atheists because they hate god, or they blame god for their problems. Which is totally untrue. You make your own life, whether you believe in God or not, he has nothing to do with how bad it goes.

Because they do not want to take personal responsibility for the things in their lives, its much easier to blame God or anyone else but themselves.

Because for many it is easier to blame an external force than to accept their responsibility for this mess we are all in. The phrases "It is God's Will" and "The Devil made me do it" are so worn out they should be banned. If we don't start taking responsibility for our actions soon there will be nothing left of this world for us.

Like in all things - we blame the things that we can't see, feel or touch. Throw all your burdens on the intangible.
Works for me.
Add in the fact that most people don't want to own their
issues, you have a perfect solution.

Interesting subject. Many people blame everyone but the person responsible THEMSLEVES. God does not cause anything bad. I consider it a cop-out.
