"Principle Two:
We choose to go our own way, cutting ourselves off from God. Therefore we cannot know and experience God's love and plan for our life."

leave me an answer if you blame God for something in your life and tell me why and how God's caused these problems.. when you're the master of your own life.
Check out that link and the principles, and give me some feedback on this matter.

I don't blame a "god" for anything...any and everything that ever occurred in this world is either something natural or something out of our control or in our control. There is no god at all so I would definitely not blame something imaginary...although it is much easier to do that...i wont

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking or whether you will get any meaningful answers. If you are saying that God does not take any active part in our lives specifically, some people will agree with you and some will not. Some people will say something was God's will if it made them happy but not if it harmed them. But people who blame God for anything are unwilling to accept the responsibility for their own lives. They are even more unwilling to accept the randomness of the universe and find it very frightening that a tree can fall on whoever happens to be standing there at the time. This makes them feel very insecure and so they adopt the belief that there is a God watching over them who will prevent the tree from falling on them, and if he doesn't they blame him.

How about if a woman prays and asks for God's guidance in a new relationship, since guidance was never asked before and she got mixed up in some bad ones. So she prays and genuinely asks for a sign that this guy is the one she should be with, because she's not about to make another mistake and start dating this guy without God's guidance, so she asks for specific sign, because she remembers a story in the bible where a guy got the sign he asked for, so why shouldn't she? She gets the sign she asks for and then some - leaving no room for doubt that she has God's blessing this time. She dates this man and he talks about his love for God and everything, affirming her belief that she's with the right guy. Several months later, mistakes are made and she becomes pregnant - and maybe this is her fault, but God knew what would happen and still told her to go for it. Her boyfriend abandons her for the entire pregnancy, and she spends every night crying herself to sleep. Sometimes she has to steal food just to eat that day, because the full-time (and overtime) hours she's working are still not paying all her expenses, and he's not giving her the financial help he promised. On top of that, she has to have a planned c-section to avoid passing the non-curable std that the father gave her on to her son. She notifies the father 6 weeks in advance as to the date of the delivery (he is in another country), in case he still wants any involvement in the baby's life, and it turns out he can't make it because he's too busy womanizing. So if God knew all this would happen, why would he have given her the sign that he knew would cause her to go forward with a relationship with this guy?
* And there's no need for snarky remarks. Yes, I am the one this happened to, and I am not intending any disrespect to anyone. I sincerely want to know why God would have given me that sign, because I do consider myself Christian, and I still feel in my heart that it is the true faith. It's just proving a little difficult to worship God anymore, or even like him, when he's the reason I went forward with the relationship that got me into this mess. Any help -from other Christians - in understanding this would be appreciated.

I don't blame any god.
However, when in an argument and I am asked to presume that a particular god exists, then it is not unreasonable to lay the responsability for the universe on said deity. That is entirely reasonable IN CONTEXT OF THE DISCUSSION.
According to the Abrahamic holy books, their god is all knowing and all powerful. If this premise is accepted as true, then said deity is by definition all responsable for what happemns in its own creation.
If I were to create a computer, for example, and it didn'twork the way I wanted it to, is it the fault of the computer? Or mine? Especially if I supposedly know everything there is to know about computers?

I don't blame god,as I don't believe there is such a character.If a creator god existed,however,he most certainly and justly would warrant the TOTAL blame.Much as Ford motor company would shoulder the blame if it produced a car with faulty brakes.The creator is responsible for defects in its' creation.If Ford put out a car model with 780,000 different sets of conflicting owners manuals,with only ONE being the correct manual,Ford would be sued so hard they would go out of business.Think about it

It's much easier to blame the Supreme Being than it is mankind because God won't defend himself with those who don't truly believe.
And heres what I have to Blame God for: Husband and I have been happily married for 30 years. We have raised to kind and giving sons. We have a home that's paid for. We have no credit cards. We have our health. We have several friends. Our parents did not suffer when they passed on and were called home to heaven.
And that's just to name a few.

i once blamed god for taking my grandma. it was my first lost of a loved one and i got no help. it completely changed me until after i stop grieving. i blamed him because, in the bible, he lives in heaven and takes all the people who past away. back then i was going through a time where i didnt know weather to believe or not. i ended up not believing but yea, i blamed god.

I personally don't blame god for anything. I blame the followers of the different concepts of god (especially christianity) for most of the problems in the world.

As you said people can control there own life and they make there own choices. The wrong choices they make will come back to haunt them. I have never balmed God for anything. I am a prodigal daughter right now and its not God's fault that I am out of his will. God will let us go as far as we can and I think sometimes its to humble us.
