Good Morning Yahooers,
The reason People go astray, become hurtful murderers, thieves, slanders of people is because GOD gave everyone Free WIll, if he did not then he would of destroyed Adam and Eve in the Garden and started over again, but isn't it our *CHOICE* wether to do the right thing in life or the wrong?

Many people are doing the wrong things in life walking down the highway to destruction, and they don't want anyone to tell them there is another road. a map that will lead them to eternal happiness.

Do you think most people want eternal happiness? Why would people choose to be wallowers of pity, reveling in the fact that Misery Loves Company.
Thoughts?

you're making a stable component, yet i've got faith you're drawing correlations and attempting to show them right into a reason. permit me provide you an extra convenient occasion. there replaced right into a learn that pronounced that scholars that play team activities are much less probably to do drugs. Does it propose that activities reasons somebody to go with to no longer do drugs? Or, is there yet another underlying reason that connects the two certainly one of them? they are correlated, yet one does not reason the different. It replaced into then discovered that ordinarily it replaced into simply by fact the infants that have been on team activities did no longer have TIME to fool around with drugs and be on the line. The time whilst they extra the word "decrease than God" into the pledge and took prayer out of faculty and altered the motto additionally coincided with a bunch of alternative issues. Society declined very much after WWII. human beings got here decrease back from the conflict far off from family for for this reason long. the toddler boomer era replaced into born. by skill of the time they have been in the Nineteen Fifties and Nineteen Sixties, the toddler boomers have been teenagers that have been desperate to rebellion against the employer and pull far off from the "conflict era". many stuff spawned from this. I easily do no longer think of faith has somewhat to do with it.

Blaming God is convenient. Anything but accept our own responsibility for our mistakes. I was just reading Genesis about God talking after Adam's sin. It goes all the way back to them. God asks Adam how he knew he was naked? Had he eaten the forbidden fruit? Adam said Eve did it. Eve blamed the snake. The snake did not comment.

Actually I don't know anyone who blames a deity for society's problems, except Christians, who blame the dark deity Satan.

Maybe you can answer the second part of your own question. Why do you wallow in viciousness and self-righteousness? You don't strike me as a happy person, you seem very angry and wanting to make others feel bad.

You're right. Bad things happen because people CHOOSE to sin. But the "Blame Game" started in the Garden of Eden with Adam and man has been playing it ever since. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the devil (snake)...God punished ALL THREE OF THEM! So I guess people feel like it's easier to blame God than to accept responsibility for their choices. I personally hate the "blame game" and I don't allow it to be played in my home. Never have, never will. I expect people to accept responsibility for their choices and accountability for the consequences of those choices.

Genesis 3:11- 13
And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
The man said, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."
Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"
The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

And why are people so quick to give a god credit for the good stuff?
Because they none have enough education nor background, and alas intelligence to realize that we are all just 6.5 billion people on this tiny grain of sand in a universe bigger than the state of Colorado. And that good stuff happens for no reason, just as bad stuff happens.... that's life... And ya get about 80 years of it. And further, assuming moderate intelligence and preparedness, you can do quite well in those years..... They opt out of responsibility because it is easier to give a sky daddy the blame or the credit.

I think people blame God for their difficulties because the either do not understand, or poorly understand, the nature of God. It also demonstrates a deficiency of faith.

Job, the greatest man of the East in his time, was a god-fearing believer. He was a blessed and godly man. Nevertheless, he suffered greatly, lost his children, his health, and his wealth, according to the will of God. Yet, he NEVER cursed God. In fact, when his wife came to him and told hime to just curse God and die, his reply included the rhetorical question...how can you accept the blessings of the Lord and not the adversities, too?

Adversities, sufferings, and difficulties are extremely hard to endure. Nevertheless, they will come. They are usually not fair. Still, Jesus tells us to expect them. With faith, difficult times brings about perseverence. There is nothing God will have us go through that we cannot make it with faith in Christ...even death!

I don't blame god any more than I blame the tooth fairy for society's ills.

And you assume that unbelievers wallow in pity, when really, most of us just try to live good lives, help out our neighbors, and be happy.

I agree that is ridiculous to blame bad things on God. I cannot speak for all non-Christians, but I personally do not blame anything on God, simply because I do not believe in the Christian idea of an all-powerful God that intervenes in the day-to-day lives of humans. I feel that all things happen due to cause and effect. I think that the anger that you hear from atheists is not against God because they do not believe in God. Their anger stems from the fact that they cannot understand how you Christians believe in an all-powerful God who can do anything he wants, but he still allows certain horrible things to happen to innocent people. Christians use the “freewill” theory to explain this, but I do not think your theory holds up. I agree that if I choose to eat tons of fattening foods and do not exercise, or if I inject heroin into my body, I am setting myself up for disaster. The “freewill” theory makes sense in those scenarios. However, what about situations where innocent children burn to death in fires caused by electrical malfunctions? Whose fault is that? Is it the children’s fault? Is it society’s fault? Where is Jesus at? He saved lots of people in the bible. If tragedies like burning children are also because of freewill it leads to one possible conclusion: God is allowing children to burn because Eve went against his will and ate an apple. I do not believe in the Adam and Eve story, but if it is true and this is the reason why all bad things happen, God is not good.

Because most die hard christians that i have met are very dull. It seems that they are not able to see the big picture or the reality of a situation. People who believe in god blame god for all our ills because they are brain-washed from an early age to believe in fairy tails, Fairy tails that teach them that we are no more than stupid animals that have to be guided by an all powerfull being incapable of plotting our own course and destiny. Instead of blaming a god that does not exist for our problems, lets blame the true cause- corrupt government, our own wasteful consumerism attitude, mixing of too many cultures, and our obvious combining of church and state that the republicans are notorious for etc etc.

Good question. I think people don't want to know the truth because they will look at them and think they are failures. God will forgive everyones sins IF they ask Him and bring Him into their lives. God loves us and don't want us to go down the highway of hell.
