do you want God to make your choices for you and for others...
its really funny when they say "if God is real why does A or B happen"...but they don't believe in God...so should i blame bad things that happen on He-man...
i believe in God/Jesus and bad things do happen...but Jesus never said life would be easy...He only said He would never leave us...its alway us who leaves Him...and them blame God for every bad thing that happens...
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

They simply don't comprehend free will. If God interfered everytime something bad was about to happen, would we really have free will? Would the murderer who was stopped from committing a murder have free will, or the rapist who was stopped from raping? They just don't get it, and God is a convenient scapegoat. It's a blaming disease.

Why is it god gets all the praise for good but should not get criticism after all he was the one that made everything? To praise your god for someone who doesn't believe in any god for the things they have; a great paying job, promotion a beautiful home, good looks, and good/great things in their life is due to god. When the bad occurs they should not believe in or practicing "blaming god" (there are many to choose from) Sounds too hypocritical I couldn't buy into something like this because remember now god created EVERYTHING!

If god created the world and everything in it, he also created evil. Do you understand how sadistic this would make your god? I will give you an analogy. I have a pet mouse. I then create one maze with traps and one without. Both have cheese at the the end of the maze. I want you to remember, I proclaim, in my sacred journal, that I love my mouse with all my heart. If that is true, would I put my mouse in the maze with the traps? No, I would put my mouse in the maze without the traps, just for the enjoyment of watching the mouse navigate to the cheese. God isn't satisfied by just watching us grow and develop, he goes one extra step and includes evil. This would be the equivalent, of the trap, in the maze, with the mouse. He didn't have to include evil in the creation of the world and that is why, if he existed, he is responsible for the bad things that happen to us. I suggest that you study your bible, instead of just following along in church. May be it will open your eyes as to what kind of God you follow.

Let's say that you have kids. One of them plays with matches. Your neighbor sees your house burning, can rescue the kids but does not do so, and then tells you that he didn't want to interfere with your parenting decisions so he let them die. You might figure that the excuse for not saving people from horrible suffering rings hollow.
Now not only does God refuse to interfere to stop horrible injustice and suffering, according to the God story, but he interferes constantly at other times. Believers tell stories about how God put a dollar there for them to find or put the dress they wanted on sale just before the party, or helped one sports team beat another. Listen to believers, God's constantly, allegedly, interfering in the pettiest details of their lives. Yet when a horrible tragedy happens, believers tell us that God couldn't possibly interfere with free will by averting the disaster. It is, to say the least, hypocritical.

He's supposed to have created everything and he's supposed to be omnipotent and omniscient. If that's so, then he's responsible, directly, for everything that happens.
And what choices are you talking about? Are you talking about the choice to have a hurricane wipe out a family? Or perhaps you are talking about the choice to have a disease cripple a child. Maybe you are talking about the choice to have an earthquake level a city and kill people.
If you believe that God doesn't leave us, then I suppose he's just standing around watching those people die. If that's so, then how is it not something to blame him for?

Hello bad things (according to Christianity) are Gods fault cause God controls everything. Therefore you can blame God.

I believe life is a process... this predestined plan. God allows us to go through bad things for us to learn and grow from the struggle. We as people need to realize that we all interdependent and we all intricate parts of his master plan. People question God , because they lack both the faith and the ability to understand. God has never left me or forsaken me. Life may be painful and hard at times, but He is doing this for the benefit of me. I love God.

The Bible says alot of things, and it contradicts itself, which is why I have lost faith in it.
Since you are talking about the Biblegod. I would have to say that I don't blame him for the problems, because I don't really believe in his existence either. He didn't give us true choice anyway, if we choose to disobey him, he dooms us to the fires of hell. What choice is that? It's like saying, You either give me your money or I kill you. You get the logic here?

God, as creator of the entire universe is ultimately responsible for the creation of evil that it contains. There's no way around that. Sorry, I'm just the messenger.
