Those who claim God should be able to stop satan forget that God made a covenant with Adam. God gave Adam authority over the earth. Adam gave it to satan. God cannot forcibly take it back because He would be breaking the original covenant with Adam. If He broke it, He would no longer be good and Holy.
Therefore He has a plan of redemption.

The only reason why I know for a fact my life is as bad as it has gotten is because of satan itself. I look to satan as the sole reasoning behind all my troubles be it hates me for the Creator God loving me so much. If God had a will for me to be dead, I would have been dead a long time ago without the help of no man. Thats how I know.

People do blame God instead of satan or him/herself when something goes wrong in their lives because:
1)they do not know that God is always merciful and loveful
2)they do not believe that God has never illwill to humans
3)they do not know that satan's temptation bring them to wrong doings
4)they do not know that the strong faith will make them immune to satan's temptation
5)they do not know that the wrong doing made by themselves
6)they do not know that his/her weak faith can be easily tempted by satan
7)they do not know that Qur'an reading can drive away satan from their homes
8)they do not want to blame themselves

Quit trying to blame Satan for all the bad things that happen. Most of the bad things that happen to us happen because of our own human fallibility and stupid decisions.
But ... even by your own theology, God can control who Satan tempts and his limits. In the story of Job, God gave Satan free reign to do anything to Job he pleased. Satan approached the throne of Heaven and had to ask for permission.
So even if you could blame it on Satan, you'd have to accept the fact that God gave him the ok to do it.
So really, who's fault is it?

They need to put the blame where it goes,God is not the
author on confusion, but Satan is and will cause it.

God and Satan are the two sides of the same coin. Only ignorance prevails when they pretend to blame one without the other. If they dwell on these premices,they would soon prove their readiness for advanced thinking.

Most Christians believe that God tests everyone to see how their faith is. The devil normally has to ask God ( yes I typed ASK GOD) to see what he can throw at a person. Look at Job, this same thing happened to him and in the end he was twice as rich, wealthy and happy as he was before. People blame God because they either have too little faith or no fiath at all.

I find that for people who believe in God, so many are quick to blame Him when things go wrong, but they don't give Him credit or thank Him for the times things go right.

I agree that God gets blamed too much of the time. satan is not always to blame either. MOST of the time it is our OWN imperfection and sinful nature (the flesh).
And evidently the two guys below me think satan was created. HELLOOO. NOT!! Lucifer was Gods most beautiful angel until he became FULL of himself and wanted to be higher than God. So God threw Lucifer out of heaven. THEN Lucifer became satan, the coward of the universe.

People blame God because God loves us all, and people can't see why if God loves us, why would he let bad things happen to us? People Don't consider the Devil because God is protector of us, it is a hard thing to comprehend
