Absolutely! Great observation! Though perhaps they would try to cover it up by saying it's "God's followers" who are responsible. They can try to coin everything to support their agenda.

I understand what they mean when they say they ask us why God allows bad things to happen but what they fail to realize is that consequences come with every action so the bad things they talk about are part of the sequence of events to bring for the return of Jesus Christ. In order for the future to come every event and action of every human being must take place and will take place. So our lives are part of the Master Plan, everything we do furthers the world and we cannot escape it. Every action was,has, and will be foreseen by God for eternity. So whether the "bad things" are of a positive or negative action they are not truly bad, they are only the steps toward the Glorious Appearing.

Not really, no. More wars have been started and more people massacred throughout recorded history in your God's name than for any other reason. The Crusades, the Holocaust, The Inquisition, and, if you take the OT as a historical fact, all the killing perpetrated by the Tribe of Israel against all the other non-God-believers. If your God is so kind and loving, like you claim, why won't he show himself and heal all the world's problems, like hunger, homelessness, disease and injustice? If he's God, it would be easy enough for him to do, right?

Um.....no.
Possibly they (rightly) blame a large portion of the world's suffering on the followers of God--so in that sense, I suppose "God" can be blamed for some the suffering, whether he exists or not.
Don't you know that "bearing false witness against your neighbour" is a sin?

Atheists, not believing in God, would not be inclined to blame God for anything. That would be more the province of people who believe in God.
Do you blame Santa when you don't get what you want for Christmas?
Same sort of thing, you see.

Isn't it delusional when theists (and their 'perfect god') blame retarded Adam & Eve for infecting all of us with original sin? Whatever that means.
Perhaps to be sinless we should strive to be like Adam & Eve by lobotomizing ourselves. Pretty much where religious fundies are already at. Hallelujah!

No atheist would blame a non-existent being for anything.

Yes. Atheists are funny. Try not to let our 'humor' concept throw you for a loop.

Suffering is the result of human sin.
There will come a day when the Lord will return and cleanse this world of all sin and all suffering.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Rev. 21:4).
