People do wrong stuff, and when (inevitably) something terrible happens, they all go like "Oh Why, God, Why did you allow this?", the Twin Towers for example, The U. S. is stuck in problems that they have gotten into themselves, and when the tragedy happened, everyone went nuts over why did God allow it.

Yes, you are all almost right, the real reason for my questin is, if God is the inmediate reason for everything, Good and bad, Why do we remember Him when something bad happens, and completely forget about Him whe everything (at least in our lives) is just fine? Shouldn´t we say like Job "Well, if God Gave us, and God took away from us, it´s fine. Should we only accept the good from him and not the bad?"

Shouldn´t we be thankful for the good things that we have EVERYDAY? the fact that we are alive and with an opportunity to be better tomorrow, independently of what circumstances we are at right now. If God is responsible for everything shouldn´t we focus on the good things? like our jobs, our hospitals, the humanitarians that help people, and the fact that we don´t live in extreme poberty. just the simple fact that we are americas, for God´s sake, should be a reason to thank Him Each and Everyday!!!

When God tries to step into our lives, we kicked Him out, so we live with the consequences. don´t we, Why should He help us in stuff we got ourselves into, especially when He said not to, and ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DON´T INVITE HIM, AND MORE THAN THAT, WE DON´T LET HIM IN!!!

I've never blamed God. I've gone through some hardship in my life, including watching my wife die of cancer over three years. Yet, I've never even had the urge to acknowledge God's existence.
I get more contentment with reality than fiction.

I think it is because we don't understand exactly what that first sin did to mankind. Before the first sin the world was in harmony. Everything was as it should be. There was no death, no pain, and apparently there was no fear (even the animals had no fear of man).
When man sinned, though, we became spiritually separated from God which required a savior to come and give us a road back to communion with God. Also, satan then had dominion over the world. He is called the prince of this world.
Adam was told you will now have to work the ground by the sweat of your brow. Eve was told you will now have pain in childbirth. (I believe this may indicate that Adam and Eve may have had children before their sin but who knows). Life became rough and a difficult chore because satan is the prince of this world and sees to it that illness occurs. Sees to it that relatives are murdered. Sees to it that young children accidently drown in swimming pools.
Many believe that God causes pain in our lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. When Jesus arrived at the house of Lazarus He saw the emotional anguish of those who loved Lazarus and scripture says "Jesus wept" in John chapter 11 around verse 35. God is saddened when tragedy strikes because He knows our pain and because He knows how unnecessary it is had we not separated ourselves from Him. He wants to draw us close. To protect and comfort us physically. That's why Christians can look forward to not only an intimate spiritual reunion with God upon our deaths but also freedom from the physical pains we must endure at the hands of satan.
If we all could come to a true understanding of God, sin, and satan I think we would not blame God when satan works his will on the earth.

God is always to thank for all of the good things that happen in the world. How many times have you heard the phrase, "God has blessed us for..."? I find it to be the opposite of what you are saying. Rarely do people blame God. In fact, it is usually very much the fault of man for losing sight of God.

For the same reason why when something wonderful happens, people thank God for the "miracle." If one believes in some type of omnipotent intervention, they are going to thank it for the good and blame it for the bad. Such is life.

You are so right and that is why people don't understand the mistake we make is not God's fault but they seem to be cry babies over things that they messed up on their own. Their own decisions brought disaster to themselves not God

Because logically they can't claim the existence of an omnipotent super being unless he has the power to affect events

Because they truly don't know the character of God. Who he is and what he is all about. "I know the thoughts I have towards you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11
And they don't know the true character of satan, how he is out to kill, steal and destroy.

Because they don't want to take the blame for themselves. God is just a huge fallback.

Since god created all and knows all, he could have stepped in. But he decided to watch people die. God hates humans.
