Be fair
IF YOU WANT TO POINT OUT THE BAD
THEN GIVE CREDIT FOR THE GOOD----OR YOU ARE JUST A HATER LOOKING FOR A SCAPEGOAT.
BE OBJECTIVE----NOT INSULTIVE.
FAIR ENOUGH?

Most people find it easier to blame God for everything they disapprove of, rather than to look at the human race as being responsible for anything.
Yet, we also destroy our air and our planet and our atmosphere, and easily forget that our Creator gave those things to us free of charge.

It is also the fact that the element of good is more in the creation than the element of evil. We all see that there are more people who are healthy than those who are sick. There are more that eat well then those who starve. There are more that live decent life then those who commit crimes. Goodness is the rule and evil is the exception. Virtue is the norm and sin is the aberration. Generally trees bear fruits, the flowers bloom, the winds move smoothly. .
This is a temporary world and every thing here has a time limit. When its times comes it will die, come to an end and finish. Neither the good things of this world are forever, nor the bad things eternal. We are here for a short time and we are being tested. Those who will pass this test they will find an eternal world that is perfect and permanent. Those who will fail this test they shall see the evil consequences of their sins and corruption.
How many times it happens that we are not careful and still we reach safely to our destinations. The way people drive in some cities, it is a miracle that more accidents do not happen and more people do not suffer. Allah says: (Allah) Most Gracious! 2- It is He Who has taught the Qur'an. 3- He has created man: 4- He has taught him speech (and Intelligence). 5- The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed; 6- And the herbs and the trees both (alike) bow in adoration. 7- And the Firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice), 8- In order that you may not transgress (due) balance. 9- So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance. 10- It is He Who has spread out the earth for (His) creatures. (al-Rahman 55:1-10)
Abu Yahya Suhaib bin Sinan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "How wonderful is the case of a believer; there is good for him in everything and this applies only to a believer. If prosperity attends him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is better for him".
[Muslim].

Fair question but I say its not enough. It is not a justifiable means to the end. No one says there is not Good in the world this is fact. We love the birds, the trees, the sky. If you believe God gave us those things then you must believe he also gave us the bad or at least the means to be bad, even though we had a choice, he gave us that choice to that end. What we are saying in essence is there should only be GOOD. He has the power to do that if he wanted to. He is the one who didn't do that, not us.

Good question! I can't help imagining a person standing, hands on the hips saying: "Ugh! God, Look at what you've done again! I feel so loved!" Have a great day! Zep 3:17 The LORD your God is with you; his power gives you victory. The LORD will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life. He will sing and be joyful over you, as joyful as people at a festival." The LORD says, "I have ended the threat of doom and taken away your disgrace.

As for the unfaithful hearts, love, air, light, soil, water...are also bad, or just something exist by chance! What are these things, when they deny even their souls and their all-loving Creator? Millions of opinions like mine and yours will never convince them - those who are ready to reject even the wisest counsels in the Holy Books.
Our best way is to be patient with them, love them, help them, pray for them, with the hope that God will give them some special occasions to rethink and repent. And the One True God will give nobody any chances to say to Him that "I didn't know you or I didn't hear about you." Be assured in His boundless and unfailing love.

I can see where you're coming from. But I don't really blame God for anything to begin with. If I did though, this question would've really made me think...I like this question very much. You have quite the philosophical mind...

Irrelevant. There is an assumption that god exists, and that furthermore the good or bad things are attributable. There is utterly no evidence to support (or refute) any of this. Absent such, it is provable that a belief in god is useless and a waste of time.

No, I don't blame your God for the good OR the bad. When it comes to omnipotent Gods, I simply don't believe they exist.
