He takes the credit for all the good things we do but blames all the bad things on us. As the creator of the universe, he is responsible for everything that exists and everything that occurs - isn't it about time he started facing up to his responsibilities?

Either I am reading the question wrong or some of you lot are.
God - as the supposed creator of everything good and bad (God made spiders, and they are bad), holds the ultimate responsibility for everything that goes good or bad. If you step over a homeless man, who later dies of starvation, yes it is God's fault. He should not of let the man get into such a state. He gave us free will, and as such should be held accountable for all our actions becasue of it.

Sort of a stupid question coming from one who doesn't believe in Him anyway, but trudging forward with this, sue Him. Go and file a civil suit against Him. I see only two potential problems though. 1-how do you plan on "serving" Him with notice? and, 2- Do you really think He's going to show up? Maybe, just maybe, God will grow weary with little pinheads like you making such "high and mighty" and stupid comments against Him and send something your way as a constant reminder that you don't call the shots, and that you are nobody to bring a railing accusation against Him about anything. Your chosen avatar certainly represents your likeness before Him.

Let me get this right...if you step over a homeless person and refuse to help him, and he ends up dying of starvation later that night....that's God's fault?
I will assume based on your question that you have no real concept of how responsibility works. Blaming everything on God when it doesn't go your way is very immature and irrational. A great deal of the suffering humans endure here on Earth is caused by other humans, either directly or indirectly.
As far as you accusing God of "lack of responsibility", take a look at the last chapters of the book of Job, where Job takes it upon himself to question God. God has some choice words for Job, and I'm sure He'll have some for you too.

yep absolutely right. I see that all the time. People achieve something and "all the glory to god, without him i couldn't have done it" then something goes wrong and they blame themselves or other people, or the devil or the power of choice. Which one is it? Obviously, god vs the devil, good vs evil is the construct of an immature mind that cannot comprehend reality and hence everything has to be broken down into this perfect dichotomy. Notice that that is how children's cartoons and movies are. they can't comprehend otherwise. But some of us have to grow up and become adults. Some of us cannot afford the luxury of remaining children and living in happy delusion. Frankly, I wish i could, but alas, maturity caught up with me

If God knows everything, can he change anything?
Does he know what's going to happen, but powerless to change it? Or, is he waiting for someone to make a decision, so that he can make changes?
I'd hate to think that God, is waiting on me to decide what to do with the cosmos. I suspect the solution to this paradox can be found in the allegory, about the origin of all things bad.

He has. He gave the choice to choose right or wrong. All good things comes form God because the devil in his pride cannot do good. God does not make you do wrong things, you do. Why not blame the devil at that point. If you are going to serve the devil at least give him the credit for all the bad things that go wrong in your life.

In a recent study in Sweden; 94% of the country stated that they were in the top 50% of the country's drivers.
People tend to have high opinions of themselves. They try to claim responsibility when things go well.and shirk any blame when things do not go well.
Christians assign the same qualities to their god. Note that in many religions this does not hold. In many, deities are variously assigned blame/credit.

So if I am reading your question correctly then if I decide tomorrow to murder someone, we can blame God for not intervening to save the person that I chose to murder? Interesting! I am starting to see a pattern here on yahoo answers- pro-choice is fine for one thing- abortion- but anything else, if it is wrong it is God's fault. Wow- that is what I call be selective. God's gave His Son for our bad choices- HE took what we should be responsible for and hung Himself on the Cross to take our place. Why don't we stop blaming God for sin, and place it squarely on whose fault it is - OURS

The Self is the real thing you must contemplate and comprehend. God is a construction of thought that allows one's self to contemplate an all good essence that contains in it no evil. Evil is nothing, always was and always will be.

Judging God!
Finding fault with God!
Blaming God!
Ridiculing God!
That takes some courage!
Could it be that you have not understood even yourself?
