Why blame god for the starving children? If man really wanted to we could come together, spend enough money to feed all the starving people of the world. I dont blame god at all, I blame sinful, wicked, selfish man.

Right on the money (no pun intended)!!
I'm working in a country where the average monthly wage is $300 (U.S). At the same time, the President of the country is given $300 million in royalties for oil. Go figure - God? no...man.
And what about when I get home? folks living in 4,000 and 5,000 sq foot houses, while they expect the lawn man to make do on 20 hours a week minimum wage. Go figure.
And the list can go on and on.
No wonder He wants us to understand we are not the owners of our possessions, but merely stewards.

I think that the reason people "blame" God for these things is they are trying to find Him. These are questions everyone asks themselves when they ask "is there a God?", and if God is good and just, then why does the bad happen, how can God allow it to even exist?
Noone is thinking of Gods delicate balance and way, the teachings,experiences,good and bad etc that we see and go through in life to bring certain understandings etc to our beings and create the lessons and teachings that ultimately take us to heaven, create us as good or bad souls.
Anyways, religion is the basis of life, weather we believe in it or not. What war has there ever been that has not been influenced or sparked by religion and God??

God seems to get blamed for just about everything that He DOESN'T do, but no credit for what He DOES do? God is the Creator of the Universe, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, He is the ALMIGHTY GOD! He is only good, and there is nothing evil that He has ever done!
Who is to blame is, the "little" g-o-d of this world system. (2 Cor. 4:4) Jesus said that satan is the one that has come to "steal, kill and destroy" (John 10:10), He went on to say that He (Jesus) is come to "give life, and that more abundantly!" (John 10:10) People that blame God for these kinds of things simply don't know Him! But if you will drawn nigh to God, He will draw nigh to you! (James 4:8) God is a friend that sticks closer than a brother... or earthly father! (Prob. 18:24)

It's the easiest way to skip the responsibility of your brother's care.
Why doesn't God feed those people those starving children why? Why don't you? You can do it. For Penny's a day you can help feed clothe and educate children all around the world. You can do it. I know you can and I mean everyone. You will pay your DSL bill for sure but would you go to christforasia.com and help out? It's cheap.

People blaming God is a matter of ignorance towards his teachings.
In 1John 4:7&8 states that God is Love
Since God is love then you ask then why he allows so much suffering?
Read up on the story of Job, in the book of Job. The Devil told God that people only worship him for what they can get from him. Job was a faithful servant of God and the Devil chose him to "try" and prove his point to God. The Devil took away Job's home, livestock, riches, family and gave him Leaprosy.
Job's wife told him "Curse God and Die"
But Job remained faithful. God then gave back Job ten times as much as he had before because through his trials Job remained faithful.
In a nut shell the reason why all these problems in the world occure is because the Devil is trying to prove that humans don't love God and they only serve him because of what they can get.
This is why God allows suffering to prove the Devil wrong. It may sound unloving on God's parth but he gives us hope in the scripture in Revelations that says there will be ......no crying, or pain .....and death will be no more....the former things will pass away.

People do that so they will better inside, just think the racist hates all color and even color has no different. A racist do this term if a one person had done one killing then racist will like to kill all of there kind. So racist acts no different done a god. So when people say a angry words to the god it is to release there hate. but not all do the same because other use it as a weapon and make the problem get bigger and at the end war brake loos.

Yes i believe that God is not to blame. There is much evil and injustice in the world. God does not intervene because i feel that he has given man the capacity to discern right from wrong and wants to see how he will react. However Man in most cases are just selfish, only concerned with personal gain. Man has degraded his status to that of an animal by giving into his carnal instincts. We are different from animals in that we can choose not to give in to these instincts, but how many of us do? It is the constant desire and lust for self satisfaction that have brought us to the sorry state of affairs we find ourselves in now. Peace

wow God destroyed the earth once before already..he vowed never to intervene in the affairs of man ever again. The rainbow is a symbol of his vow to not do that. We, those that believe in him are the body. We are what he used to let his will be done on earth as it is in heaven...do you know of heaven to be like earth? No! But shouldn't it be? Yes. We are all to blame for not doing what He said is right and just. He said in the last days that men would become lovers of themselves...all...haven't we all done that? though about me me me..rather than we...we...we??? I've been known to do that myself as a christian...and I got into a oh wow mode about it....it's that very thing that the Lord needs to purge from each and everyone of us...we could stop it all if we all acted right. God said his judgement would be forth coming....he has and continues to still give us all ample opprotunity to stop blaming him and pick up and issue and deal with it but what do we want to do? We want to wait on God. You not waiting on God HE'S WAITING ON YOU!!! He said these signs shall follow those who believe...didn't he speak about the power to tread upon snakes and scorpions, speaking in new tongues, laying hands on the sick and they say recover and if you drink any deadly thing it will by no means hurt you??? Didn't he also say let us create man in our own imagine and let him have dominion over the sea the earth, under the earth and every living thing??? That means if you see a tornado you should have enough faith in God to command that tornado down in his Name....start thinking about the possiblities if you walk in his divine calling!

We can't do everything for everyone...and how many children have to starve and die before humans could possibly unite? We blame your God only if he exists. Because if he DOES exist and allows these horrible things to happen and has the power to stop it, he is evil. No loving god would sit back and say, "Oh well, if they wanted to they could fix it themselves." If he can't fix it, then he either doesn't exist or is impotent...and if that is the case, why bother with him?

He is responsible for wars and crimes existing in the world just as he is responsible for love, peace, charity, and human achievement (like going to the moon) as well. He set this whole world in motion (this whole universe) and what people forget that this plan in creating all of this was for use to learn, grow, and become greater individuals.
It comes down to whether you see the world God created was the cup is half full or half empty. What the good thing is about God is that he created this world with bias more toward the positive than the negative.
Good Luck!!!
