If God is the creator and God created all and anything that we claim to have created was only created because God gave us the tools and all that jazz then isn't it his fault?
Is that like saying, "Hey, I just created the atomic bomb all that Nagasaki stuff was all your fault"?

IF God is all-knowing and all-powerful, then you have to accept that EVERYTHING that happens is EXACTLY according to plan. Everything.
God would know that Adam would take the forbidden fruit, and being all-powerful God could have created a version of the universe where Adam didn't. God even knew that some millennia down the line you would miss that bus because your alarm didn't go off, and being all-powerful God could have created a version of the universe where your alarm clock would have gone off and you would have been on time.
But God didn't.
That leaves ONLY two choices: either everything that happens is exactly according to plan, or one of our premises is wrong and God is not actually all-powerful or is not actually all-knowing. There is simply no other possibility.

Nothing is God's fault. He created the human race (& all other things) but it's the individual human that uses his brain to do or not to do things. With or without God, we still have personal choices to make. The man that made TNT made it & after seeing its power, made it for a construction purpose, such as blowing up rock to lay down roads or railroads. But some guy thought it would be useful to blow up people with it and now it's used for destruction. The man that found TNT never had intentions to kill people with it. So it's not his fault for finding TNT, it's the fault of the first man that decided to use it to kill. Many things that man has made started out as accidents or made for non-killing purposes but there's always that sick/evil/twisted person that sees it as a killing device and abuses it.
God gave us air, water, land, planets, animals to use for the purpose of living. If we abuse His creations then it's our fault, not His. God knows if a person will be a believer or not. He told the believers to tell the non-believers about Him so they to will know and follow Him. But it's still a personal choice to make and in the end we will all find out who's right and who's wrong.

Just a response to Marshall Lee - actually, you can easily say it is the parent's fault for not properly teaching the child how to exist in society. And it could be THEIR parents' fault for not properly teaching it to them. If the child is a minor, the parent is certainly held responsible for their actions.
Just thought I'd point that out.

Just because you do not believe in GOD doesn't mean HE does not exist, perhaps you can just ACCEPT this and move on to another category....perhaps this will help you: man holds himself accountable to GOD, however GOD does NOT hold HIMSELF accountable to man....do ya get it yet?

If you have kids and they break the law is it your fault? Of course not. But you created the kids by having sex with the wife. RIGHT??
People - like children- have free will they do as they wish.
Dumb logic... nice try... try again please....

Yep, selective rationalization. Either God created it all (death, disasters, evil, etc.), or he has no control...

Human free will in action.
