Why Blame God for the problems Humans create?

[Thief]

Why would I blame a fictional being for anything?

You're not reading for comprehension again.

okay...as per topic title....why blame God?
You don't believe in God?...then you can't blame Him.
Problems we humans create?....
You are top of the line life form, if there is no God.
If you're not part of the solution...are you part of the problem?

 

[Peacewise]

God limits himself for us and for himself. He has given man free will and so God limits himself to not effecting that free will.

so it seems to me.

Creator: The one who created existence. The original cause.

If God created the world, everything in the world that is happening now was obviously in his control, in his knowledge, in his uninhibited will.

Could you narrow this to the problems humans create?

That's why this thread is ridiculous. I've never seen a single atheist blame god once for problems humans create. It's a strawman.

It's just sad that there are theists who think that this is the way atheists think.

Sure I could, but that would be extremely intellectually dishonest.

Look.. humans create problems... God created humans. God created humans knowing they would create problems.


If I put a landmine in the middle of the road and someone runs over it, do I blame solely the person driving for killing themself? Because that is basically what you are doing when you say God does not have share the responsibility of human suffering.

Agreed.

Trying to obligate God?....really?

God obligates himself by the position and authority he assumes.

Hey!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I suspect this thread was created as a follow up to my "I cannot respect a god who allows children to suffer" thread. If I'm right, I'd like to point out that I purposely chose an example of a natural disaster and victims who were babies so that nobody could strawan their way out by saying "it was caused by humans".

Even if it wasn't a response to that specific thread, I've never once in my life heard an atheist or a theist blame god for their problems.

In fact, the only person I can think of who did that was Jesus. "My god, my god, why have you forsaken me?"

Bad analogy.
Unless of course you believe you hear the voice of God, and you are obeying orders.
But do you really think so?

I think God knew humans would HAVE problems.
But He is not the source of them.
God gave Man dominion.
What? you don't get it?
