Even when we as humans are created in his likeness in the fact that we can create things too. And sometimes we create things with a negative outcome.

We tend to do things our way instead of Gods way and then the result is chaos and who do we blame? God. We do things on our own strength because it might feel good at the moment instead of seeking his guidance asking him is this what you want for me? Is this the right thing Lord i cannot keep myself so please keep me today. Please take control of my goings and my comings.
. When you leave yourself out there without any spiritual
guidance you are open for all kinds of negative attacks. Sometimes we blame satan for everything that happens in our lives but we must remember he is doing his job. Our job is to keep ourselves align with God for his will and protection over our lives.
Remember satan is all over the world doing his job killing stealing and destroying lives.
God is doing His job giving life and life abundantly to all who wants to receive. We have to make our choice.

God created the potential for evil because God created humans with the freedom of choice. We choose to hate, to do good or to do evil.Human actions are the cause of many of the problems of this world. People would rather blame God than take the blame for the actions of human kind!

Why did God create Satan if he is so loving, knowing that the Satan would help screw up the world, why would God create it knowing this in advance. Seems a little cynical yes! The biggest anti-God question; why, if God knows all things, did he create a world that could become what it is? He created everything and without him nothing was created. Why set it up the way he did? Why did he create it so we have to have a Savior, and his own son crucified. Is this really the best he could do for the ultimate expression of love, or even the contrast of the ultimate evil vs. good? I have seen better expressions of evil and good in Stephen King movies and good in Tom Hanks movies. And you wonder why we blame God. We exist because of God, so who else is there to blame? Myself? He made me the way I am made, and gave me the choices I have. He made certain choices evil, not me. He just needs to change evil into good and make it where it is all good, sex, drugs, rock and roll. Why are these things made to be evil. He could have made it to where all things like sex drugs and rock and roll, don't pervert or destroy, he did that to us He did, God did. So why blame Satan? He is doing what God created him to do. Yeah he fell from grace, but God made it that way!

If its Natural Disasters and Calamities you are talking about, it is because over the centuries, all over the stories of the Bible, God has been know to loudly claim credit for events like Floods, Plagues, Diseases, Drownings, Destruction of cities etc. Since even in the Ancient Days he has dominion over the Heavens, Earth and Oceans... and lays claims to the tragedies, we should be cleared headed enough to NOT just praise and thank him for Blessings and Beauty of the world, but also to put responsibility to the disasters where responsibility is due.
If you are talking about personal lives, people should neither blame God nor Satan for most of our lives problems were self-created anyway...

People are looking for reasons to hate or discredit God. Blaming God for the woes of the world. The world that He created, but is under the management of Satan.

Because god is omniscient, omnipotent, etc.
God made everything. You call him perfect and all powerful and yet you somehow believe that the universe he made, the angels he made, the humans he made, are imperfect by chance?
If satan exists, it is god's will.
In early Judaism, before the Jews ran into Zoroastrianism, god was the source of all things, good and bad. Lucifer was the servant of god, and god used him to test his creation. In Zoroastrianism, there were opposing forces, Ahura Mazda, and Angra Mainyu. After the jews came into contact with this religion, Judaism also became polarized into light and dark forces. Lucifer became an evil character, rather than a tool of god.

Why do Christians say all the good things that happens to them are because of God and all the bad things are because of Satan?
If you believe Satan is to blame for all the bad things in the world, why cant your God just make it better instead of letting it happen?

Or themselves?
Besides, God created Satan. And he's omniscient. Ergo, he created him knowing what would happen. To give God credit for the good, you must also acknowledge that he created the bad.
Edit: It's an open forum. You didn't even specify who you wanted to answer this question. Sheesh, if you don't want to hear anything but your own opinion, then don't ask questions that are open to everyone!

Because God sounds like he exists more than Satan.

Because they are too lazy to seach the Bible and learn the real truth. People cause their own problems because they would sooner do things Satan's way than God's.
