You guys sit there and blame God for all that's wrong in the world. Don't you think that we have caused a lot of pain and suffering as a race of beings? Even when God prunes some deadly people from us there are still many left to do terrible things. Some even say it's in God's name and you gobble that up. Why can't you see for a moment that God is doing a workaround because of our stubborn egotical hearts?

Jedi,
I see people returning to the dirt, I don't see people evolving from ape relatives. Christians know there are other dieties but they are merely creations of the true Creator. The Triune God is harmony and family. the polytheist religions you refer to consist of gods that are not the creator or GODHEAD. Your figures for answered prayer are wayyyy off it's MUCH higher than that.

Also those babies in Egypt being slaughtered would definitely be unecceptable if there truly was no God to rectify such things in the life to come. Remember, man kills but can't restore life but God can and does both.

Accuing others of spouting blind rhetoric? Your entire post screams projection.
It's impossible for those to blame an entity for which they do not acknowledge as existing. You're twisting the atheist view that those who commit atrocities in the name of their faith are truly to blame.

NO MORE *DRINK*, NOW YOU GET THE TOP TEN LIST...
Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Well, I don't know if I believe in a creator, I'd say no. But I have seen the caves in Altamira and then say yes!
But of course I wouldn't give a name to whatever inspired the early humans who decorated these beautiful inner, the beginning of living spaces. But these early men had to be true artists in every sense of the word.
I am convinced, as an art restorer working in Sevilla, art never became better than this!

Not sure I completely understand your heading, because atheists don't blame god for anything. They don't believe in god. Maybe you are comparing them to those who do blame god.
