When there are problems in the world like...World hunger, Aids, Corruption, teen pregnancy, Cancer, Diabetes, Drug abuse, Violence in schools, Global Warming, Resources consumption, Pollution, Acid Rain... and many more that I can talk about many people seem to find ways to blame people of a particular faith or another as scape goats... Granted they might be problems with people of different faiths, but don't you think we have bigger problems to take care of? (Globally and in our personal/professional life?)

If you don't think theres any bigger problem than global warming, then I seriously question your grasp of geopolitical current events.

This is a problem of basic religious beliefs. You are assuming that the world is going to survive for a long time, and the christian knows that the Bible is predicting terrible things as we get close to the end.
We know that people are going to use the bombs that they are building and that the issues that we debate even here on yahoo are what is having an effect on society in general. We violate God's laws and begin to suffer the consequences.. Even though it will cause controversy I will name a few.
Homosexuality. The christian believes that approving this will cause great problems in society and the break down of the family unit which is the foundation of society as we knew it.
Abortion. This causes a lack of respect for human life in general and we are killing our own children. Psychologically murdering a child has a numbing effect on the concience of a person and life begins to be cheap..
So not to start a debate again, but the whole concept and thinking of Christians is that this can not be solved unless we obey God.

For these social mischieves you cannot blame a particular sect of the society.This a label pasted by the media which is backed by world class mercineries.The main cause for these unworthy social problem is the outcome of commercialisation of human activities.Capitalism and greediness of wealth which surpass the humanity.Those who blame a particular section of society are the ones who are in the background of these problems.

As to the specific world problems you mention...God makes the rules... follow God's rules or suffer the concequences...
All science is from God... thus all science is good... but man, on his own, can not use God's science to its full potential...thus all of the polution and mortal suffering of this earth caused by man... unless God's rules are followed man will never "solve" the problems mankind has caused in this world....
The hunger and poverty and polution and all the rest are man caused... because of man's ego leading to greed and thirst for power and controle... there is indeed some scape goating and blaiming "others" for the problems.... But in some cases this is the case... There is indeed evil in this world...
satan is the prince of this world and his evil forces are hard at word deceiveing the world to keep as many from God as they can... IMO... The greatest evil deception facing this world today is islam... islam must be stopped...

Agreed. I hear of people saying, "I'm going to vote for politicians who support Christian family values." By that, they mean they want politicians who advocate legislation against homosexuals, liberals, etc. I thought that "Christian values" would include the advocacy of charitable acts, such as those that could be used to weaken--or even defeat--the issues that you have stated.
Our nation is going nowhere fast.

all the problems you listed are problems of a universal nature. They are not at all specific to any particular faith. These are human problems.
We all should come together to address these issues.

If someone's religion can be logically connected to some outrage, then that person's religion deserves the blame it gets.

blaming anyone but themself is a scapegoat
people blame God so they dont have to deal with the mess that man created
people blame parents so they dont have to deal with the mess they themself have created
it is time everyone took responsibility for their actions
and time the world took responsibility for the world
