Hmmmm Should I blame a believer for believing in something without proof? For having faith?
Should you blame somebody who does not believe in your God?
Do you have "blind" faith?
So many questions. None of them are easy. I happen to think you are blind. I have an belief based on my experiences in life. I don't believe in some grand conspiracy by Satan.

You cannot make anyone accept Jesus. Only encourage when the opportunity presents it's self. Do NOT push. Don't get worked up.
Only God/Jesus can MAKE someone do something. This is a matter between your friend and God, not between you and your friend. Your Friend should not be 'blamed' for anything. Neither should his up-bringing. God will take care of it His way.

Interesting question.
Not everyone has to believe in god, but everyone has to believe in something which may help him manipulate his behavior.
I think blame is not necessary. Show him the good way of believing in god may be helpful. Such as the belief keeps people from sin, and make people willing to offer. But if he is truly a nice person, nothing needs to be done.

First off, it's not your place to blame anyone. If they don't believe, so be it. Harping on them probably won't get them to see the same way you do. It's nice that you care, but maybe you are the one who is blinded.

Don't get all emotional, and don't blame them....threat them as "heathen and publicans." How does God want us to treat sinners-- like ourselves. We must share Jesus with them in deed as well as in word. Many people are repulsed by christianity because the vast majority of christians do what they tell others not to do. Live your life as if you are preaching a sermon, and when you get the opportunity to share a word or two to those who don't know Jesus, then tell them about Him and what He has done for you.

This 'blinded' stuff is total bollocks for a start. Someone has to be responsible for their own actions. Stop looking for someone to blame (satan, whoever) and take control.

I think some people just like to keep their eyes closed. no one seems to want to acept a moral code higher than "it's okay as long as you don't do it to me and don't get caught" these days. But of course, when you have a blind man leading a blind man, and so on and so on, then you have a lot of people in the pit...

No one should blame or judge another. That is up to God. Just pray for them and live a good example for them.

Sorry lad,
It's not blindness, but reality. It's like an atheist or a Pagan looking down on a Christian for being misled. It's just as pitiful either way.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (King James Version)
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
satan didnt blind them....GOD did....GOD knows who will be saved and who wont, so why waste time on one who will spend his life rejecting and hating GOD? HE simply gives them over to believe the very lies they themselves create or choose to believe....so dont blame them, dont feel sorry for them...simply dont worry at all about their state of affairs (spiritual)
