yet when something bad happens I am not allowed to blame him for letting it happen?
How stupid would I have to be to believe something like that?

Because God is good.
And nothing bad made by god.
You made it yourself.

Reverend Wright's no longer even working for President, and that i'm hoping my associates on the "good" will midsection our assaults on Senator Obama's vote casting record. the component you're making approximately each little thing being an attack on faith is exciting and from what i will tell actual, no one needs to admit they are only stupid or incorrect or having a nasty day, it must be some grand plan to hold down faith. no longer something must be further from the certainty.

No one is asking you to praise God whenever something good happens - least of all, God. God gives us free will - He doesn't demand anything of us. I praise God for the blessings in my life because of my love for God, and, more importantly, because I know God loves me.
Having a personal relationship with Christ doesn't guarantee that nothing bad will happen in our lives. Whether we choose to follow a religious or spiritual path or not, life has its' ups and downs. Scripture tells us that God will never leave us, nor forsake us. He will be with us through all things - the good and the bad.
I'm sure that none of the above means anything to you though, judging from the last sentence in your post, which shows you have no respect for the beliefs of others. Only immaturity feels the need to ridicule a belief simply because you don't agree with it.

Only sincerity matters to God, and He knows the heart. It is not a duty to "praise god" when something good happens. But you, if you do not believe in God, then certainly you absolutely better not be blaming him. It's a fools game, you know.

I praise God, in good times and in bad. For the very breath of life. If I am in something bad, uncomfortable, or painful, I praise God that He is bigger than all of it. That I can grow from it, and be stronger. I have to ask myself, if this is something of my making? Should I change some part of my life? If it is something totally out of my control, I ask for grace as I travel it.
Blaming God, is big shoes..It would make me quake in mine.

Actually, it kind of makes sense. In our world we are often expected to praise the boss man when things go right, but hey, never tag him when things go wrong. That is EASY to believe. It isn't very comforting though. Makes God seem like a jerk and a bully.

Praise God through the good and the bad, because it is edifying to you.
For me, it is encouraging and enabling to praise God even through the bad times, because it helps me keep my trust in God and helps me to remember that He is able to keep me safe and bring good out of anything that may try to come against me.

Of course not!!
Just a guideline like.... When a player does something well he should give others praise but when things go back he shouldn't blame other teammates

because God allows things to happen, and it isn't HIS fault that you did it. the only person that you would blame is the person who did it. and ask God to help the situation.

Every evil that happens to you is something God allows. It is not wrong to ask him "why", but that does not mean you will get an answer.

If you loved and trusted in God, you wouldn't even have to ask.
Romans 8:28 -- And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
