This human trait goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden with Adam blaming Eve and Eve blaming the snake.
One of the hardest and most adult things people learn to do is to take responsibility for their own actions.
This is one the benefits of the Catholic sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) where we
+ Examine our conscience
+ Admit our guilt
+ Say we are sorry
+ Accept forgiveness
+ Accept a penance to help rebuild our spiritual health
This is a difficult mature spiritual exercise.
With love in Christ.

There is no god. If someone is telling you to do a crime in your head, get help. Explain...what crimes are you being told to do?

for most of them, I think it's a way to avoid taking responsibility--as for the ones who are truly mentally ill & hearing "voices", they may truly believe the voices are God talking to them.

Silly Tank, God doesn't talk to people.

Those are people that are mentally ill. no one tells you to do anything you don't want to do. People like that need help mentally. It's sad that there are people that are like this but it's reality.

because they figure they won't get convicted, seeing as how no one wants to hold 'god' accountable for anything.
