I am a chistian and am really getting tired of other christians and non christians who think that God owes them something. I read on here everyday how this ones mad at God or God has somehow cheated them in there life. Let me tell you something , God doesn't owe us anything.. He made us,we are his. He gave us a perfect world and then we,{not God} messed it up. But now we want to whine and complain when this world is going crazy. Be thankful he gave us a way to escape this world, when he gave us Jesus.

Tell the truth! Aren't we a bunch of spoiled, egotistical, cry babies. And want what we want when we want it. Including me sometimes. No patience and think God is suppose to answer our prayers immediately. And half of the time what we pray for is selfish. Well, me anyway. And most of the time, just how much effort are we putting into trying to live right? I stand accused, I can't deny the charges. You are so right!

When it comes to God's blessings, many of us act like spoiled, whining children in a toy store at Christmas time. "Daddy, I want the same thing that Molly got!" "Papa, why can't I have what I want? I've been really good this year!"
We forget that God is not obligated to give into every whim we have. We don't deserve even the wonderful gifts he does give us. Thank God that he has given us far less than we deserve and that instead He has greatly blessed us through his son, Jesus Christ!
"Every good and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17

Yeah. Mysterious ways.
Its much less confusing if you just dont belive him, then how can you expect anything from what doesnt exist?
perfect worlds dont mess themselves up.
escaping the world doesnt solve anyone's problems. You mgiht wish you coudl escape the world with Jesus, but im warning you, it will catch up to you, eventually.

Here here!
:D
All the answers we need have been written down for us in the Bible- most people choose to ignore them or do not take the time and effort to understand them.
But God does nothing without first telling us.

God created us and then gets mad because his creations 'mess up'.
How could an all knowing god not see this coming?
God does not 'owe' me anything because he does not exist.

I totally agree with you. GOD did not mess things up for us. People have to face up to their own actions and be accountable for whatever they do, whether it be bad or good. People need to stop blaming other people and GOD for their mistakes and wrong doings and blame themselves.

Too many think of God as some sort of coin-operated miracle machine. Those people do not understand what it means to be religious and have faith.

So a parent doesn't owe a child anything?
Maybe reasonable answers to reasonable questions?
"I" wasn't created perfect and didn't mess anything up. If you want to believe a "loving god" punishes generation after generation for one man's sin go ahead. If anyone did that today, we would call it criminal

A reasonable observation.
Man messed up, and not God. Blame mankind and not God. Mankind is reaping what mankind has sown.
