Is there anyone else who agree's with this statement?? Can we blame God for the way this world is?

Question

Serious answers only!!!

He gave us dominion and let us inhabit the earth and WE are the ones to blame for the way things have turned out!!! WE are the ones to blame for the countless messes and mishaps of this world. God cries because of the manner in which we have ran things. It is a shame that you blame God, the one that loves us so much and the one who sent His only Son to Die on the cross to pay the price IN FULL for the Sins of the ENTIRE world. We as humans should be ashamed of what we have done to this once beautiful world we USED to live in. You amongst others need to look in the mirror if you're going to point fingers at someone to blame for the problems of this world. God didn't want it to be the way it is, but WE allowed it to happen.... not HIM!!

Answer 1

No we can't blame God. He gave us a free will. Choices that we make, we should be accountable for. This world is all about pointing fingers. We are the ones to blame for the condition of this world.

Answer 2

If compelled to respond to your precise question i could ought to assert no. it is too complicated a controversy to stress a binary reaction. And by doing so which you should be accused of begging the question. i'm an atheist, by ways, and characteristic little time for faith in any variety. yet i could be rash to assert that faith has finished no reliable. it is incredibly finished various of undesirable. some argue, interior the mixture, extra undesirable than reliable. yet in basic terms as one christian won't be in a position to be held responsible for the enormous crimes against humanity perpetrated by the catholic church, neither ought to faith, as an theory, be tarred with the comparable brush used for islamic terrorists. So i think of your question is in basic terms too simplistic, it is exactly the incorrect thank you to attitude this variety of complicated concern. a much better question could addres the two the reliable and the undesirable, and probably ask if there is a thank you to alter the ratio to the quantity that even i could look favorably on all the various faiths.

Answer 3

I'm some sort of atheist. but for what I understood about god, is that he created and planned everything. He knew everything in advance, like every hair on your head, evil, and all the rest, from before the big bang. This would make god completely responsible for everything. This is not my idea, but what I learned from many christians on this forum. So there is no free will at all, everything is planned and every atheist is meant to be atheist. His creation is a process with a fixed outcome, and only "god" is supposed to know what the goal is and what the outcome will be.

Answer 4

I disagree with this whole train of thought.

Your "God" creates the world, and creates humans and gives them dominion over the world, endowing them with "free will." The humans inevitably make poor choices, to make up for which God (for some mysterious reason no theologian has ever been able to properly explain) demands payment in blood. So to show us how much He "loves" us, He agrees to allow His own Son to make the payment.

Leaving aside the fact that if God is all-knowing and all-powerful, "free will" on the part of any created being is impossible, or at least illusory, we have this incredibly barbaric idea that our own personal wrongdoings can be atoned for vicariously through the sacrifice of a substitute - and age-old idea, for examples of the originals of which see Frazer's "Golden Bough."

I agree that we can't blame "God" for the world's problems. I only disagree with the Christian salvationist theology, which is (in my educated opinion) merely a sophisticated survival of primitive savagery.

Answer 5

Well, He is God afterall! I mean no matter how good it is, by definition He could ALWAYS have done better!

My teachers in grade school would always look at a perfectly good project I had done and state their disappointment by saying they knew I could have done better. I guess we can do the same with God. We see a lovely sunset, we can say: "Now God, I am very disappointed in You. I know You could have done better." We get a flat tire: "I know you could have done better." And on a just plain crappy day: "Now God, the Scripture says 'This is the day the Lord hath made...' but I KNOW You could have done SO much better....."

Answer 6

All that is wrong with the world can be blamed on those individuals who refuse to LOVE. If everyone LOVED then this world would be paradise.

Answer 7

That is a question , not a statement. We can blame Adam, after he ate from the tree God proclaimed cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it, all the days of your life, it will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken, for dust you are and to dust you will return. genesis 3:17-19

Answer 8

Well, if you believe in the Bible, perhaps you should blame God:

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

29:6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.


Was it not God who created the earth to produce earthquakes, storms, disease, etc.?

Answer 9

If we assume that god exists, an that he is the god described in the bible, then no your statement is not accurate. Mankind's messes, disease, decay and death are all a result from god punishing all of mankind for Adam and Eve's sin. Since he decided to punish all of creation for original sin, it's basically his responsibility.

Answer 10

Some people find it easier to blame God, even though they claim to not believe, GO FIGURE.
