I always hear about God is this and God is that. What about the old serpent name satan, lucifer. the devil. Shouldn't we blame him for everything? he is all the oppisite of what God is. satan is a lier,destroyer, a thief, a deciever who will or has decieved the whole world.
What do you think?

Because devil is the one that provokes them to blame God and deny God.

When God decided to create people he invented the idea of choice or free will. God could have created a world where people were incapable of making bad choices. This would be called slavery. We would be automatons.
Since it does no good to have the ability to choose and no choices to make God created Satan and Hell that people could choose to follow God or to follow Satan.
Since no one in their right mind would willing choose to go to Hell, God created Satan. God created a willful control freak of a psychotic to run Hell.
Now that there was a choice that could be made God created people and gave them a choice. Live happily in Eden or break this one rule and get kicked out. The people broke the one rule and were kicked out.
This is all in God's plan for people to learn to choose him.
Heaven is a place of unconditional love and to get there you have to have two things, complete faith in the leadership and unconditional love for everyone there. What Jesus calls the two greatest commandments. Without these things you can not enter into Heaven.
These are the things that Jesus showed us. Unconditional love that he would die on the cross for our sins and complete faith in God shown by accepting his death on the cross.
Unconditional love means that you have to love Satan also.
This is the path of Christ. Unconditional Love and Total Faith in the Father God.
You see, the buck stops at the top. Nothing happens that is not the will of God.

Because if, to believers, God is omnipotent and all-powerful, and he is responsible for all things good in the world, then he's also to blame for all the bad things that happen, as well.
You can't have it both ways.

Or we could blame the people who caused the problem so someone who exists can take responsibility.

Personally I think we should stop trying to find scapegoats for our errors and mistakes. Blaming an entity that may or may not exist is ridiculous.

Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is God willing and able to prevent evil? Then whence cometh evil?
Is God able to prevent evil but not willing? Then why call him God?

Non believers of God without faith to him blamed God for everything that happens to them but please do not generalized. not all people think so.
