NO God is NOT the one to blame people are the ones to blame

Much of mankind’s suffering is self-inflicted. Our planetary home supplies more than enough food to feed everyone. (Psalm 10:2, 3; 145:16) It is the unequal distribution of the God-given bounty that leads to widespread hunger and poverty. And human selfishness prevents that problem from being solved. The apostle Paul wrote: “Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” (Romans 5:12) Yes, because of the rebellion of Adam and Eve, sin and death spread like a malignant disease through the whole human race.
It is true that suffering can bring out the best in us and that the Bible says that the trials God allows can refine our faith. (Hebrews 5:8; 1 Peter 1:7) Indeed, many people who undergo trialsome or traumatic experiences do become more patient or compassionate. But we should not conclude that their suffering was God’s doing. Such thinking does not take God’s love and wisdom into account. The Bible plainly states: “When under trial, let no one say: ‘I am being tried by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.” On the contrary, from God comes “every good gift and every perfect present”!—James 1:13, 17.
The apostle Paul reminds us, however, that we are not alone in suffering evil. Paul says that “all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now.” (Romans 8:22)
The Bible assures us that one day we will be “set free from enslavement to corruption” and enjoy “the glorious freedom of the children of God.” (Romans 8:21) Until then, many good people may suffer. Take comfort in knowing why such suffering takes place—and that it will not last long.

What is this? A Board meeting behind his back? He left us here with pretty clear instructions, in several languages that he wanted us all to take care of our poor and to not create injustice - so how can we blame God?
Peace!

Of course not. Remember Adam and Eve? God had them in the beautiful Garden of Eden with all they desired. He wants us to be blessed and for our cups to runneth over. Poverty and Injustice are our doing. These are just some of the results that occur when we lean on ourselves instead of God.

as sasquatches daughter,
most religions agree that we all have the power of free will. blaming a higher power for the mistakes of our own stupidity only proves how stupid we are. wouldent it be an injustice in itself to blame humanitys mistakes on whatever put us here?

We can thank ourselves for that for eating from the tree of knowledge of good & evil. God planned a perfect world... we brought sin (& poverty) into it. God is Just - man is unjust. God bless you. ~Nise~

Blame Him? Does He owe you wealth and justice? Job did that, and he was soundly put in his place. Learn from his experience.
