But never for the good? Why is it always God's fault? There are somethings that are no one's fault... it is just life. Things just happen. But, I do think there are reasons behind it. Ways that the bad is used for betterment.

Society has grown to become a me first mentality.
The push to blame someone else has grown to such a proportion it has become like a train out of control.
No one wants to look directly at themselves for answers in this life, so the easy out is to blame someone else or something that cannot possibly be fully or even partially responsible.
Death, hatred, killing, and blame all come from human frailty.
You can judge all you want but we as a society are responsible for all we do.
I have seen the Blame put on God for everything that is bad, but yet there is more good out there, you just have to look.
Hence the laziness comes in and blames, you guessed it, God.
We have free will. People can do what they want.
People can blame who they want and point the finger. They read words and do not comprehend meaning or the lesson in it. It is easier for the person to criticize than work for a complete answer.
A really good example is to look in your yellow pages. See how many Lawyers there are listed to defend criminals. A lot more than all the others combined.
Find someone or something else to blame. That easy.
Things do happen, yes they do and it is up to the individual to cope.
How they do it reflects on character.
Me, myself, I am a Christian and usually I look for the best in people. It takes more work, but hey, most of the time it is worth it.
And yes God plays a big part in my life. He has to. I could not even think of a day without guidance.

People "blame God" for the bad for the same reason they thank him for the good.
You hear those hypocrites, drugs users and adulterers and drunkards and liars... musicians and actors thank everyone for receiving an award, they thank the parents, spouses, agents, managers, directors, and God... and if they don't win, should they likewise "thank" their parents, spouses, agents, managers, directors and God for losing?
Question: does "God" reward those who commit the lesser evils or sins? I ask because if ever there was a Sodom and Gomorrah on Earth it's Las Vegas and Hollywood! Yeah, I'm an atheist, just asking what YOU believe in? Just curious. Nothing more, not even interested in a conversion, thank you.

Alot of things that happen are in mans hands and God has nothing to do with it. You smoking gave YOU a low sprem count and you can't have kids. You have sex alot gave you stds. Stuff like storms cna be because of God or the green house effect WE did to the world. It is amazing what we do and blame God. Now stuff like freak storms and earth quakes God may have done.

Because people want to believe in imaginary beings so that they do not have to face facts. 9 times out of 10 when something goes bad, its probably your fault.
Stop blaming things on God and Satan and start fixing your decision making abilities. This way the dice might role your way more often.

Follow the logic.
If people learn slowly to blame GOD for things they don't agree with then that drives the wedge between then and GOD deeper and maybe with some luck when it is time for them to depart this world they will litterly curse GOD and die. Its a simple plan. I wonder who could be behind it?
LOL
GOD bless ya.

Great Question!! You really answered it yourself. All things happen for the good of those that love the Lord. Through our "tests" come testimonies. We should also remember that God knows the outcome and how we are going to use our situations to give Him the glory

Funny, if God is all good, how could anyone blame him? The proof of his existence and his nature must not be so absolute as some would seem to imply.

Its' so much easier for them to place the blame on God, wrather than take the responsiblity for what they might have done wrong in their lives, which might have caused some of the bad things in their life.
IF you dont' ask God for His guidance and dirrection. He will step back and let the chips fall where they may.. so to speak.

Its all upside down isn't it?
If you believe in God And Satan, how do you know Satan didn't influence the writing of the Bible? If I were Satan that is what I would do.
God simply would write it himself. Satan has to go through channels.
Silly questions get silly answers.
