Why Blame God for the problems Humans create?

[Rainbow Mage]

I see some Atheists especially say they can't believe in God because God won't wave a magic wand and make all the problems go away. Why should he? Furthermore, this premise is based on a wrong understanding of God. When you realize that God is within us, we are the ones misusing his spirit to create all this mess.

I wonder that myself. How can one blame a God they dont believe in?

Who exactly are you trying to assign this silly position to? Name me ONE single atheist that posts here that doesn't believe in a deity because they think that deity is a meany-pants.

I am quite sure there is nobody here representing that that sort of comic-book caricature of atheism.

I believe he's referring to the God is heinous because He doesnt stop all bad things from happening so thats why i dont believe in Him topic.

You're misunderstanding what their point is. Generally, people who espouse this view of atheists aren't very good at reading for comprehension.

I think it's more to the tune of "I am not superstitious at all, but were I to be able to accept such an unlikely premise as a magical sky daddy as true, the evidence shows this being would necessarily be a sadistic monster, and thusly for those who believe in it's existence, how do you justify revering or loving this monstrous creature?"

That's right, my friend. In fact, when you say "magic wand", why cannot atheists come to realize that the 'wand' is symbolic for the Arts and Crafts, or the Sciences? For example, in ancient times the peoples used to believe that certain men (and women) were gods (and goddesses) because they had a pen/'wand' that could cast (or write) a 'spell' and recite information that was melodious, rhythmic, and mathematical. Also, the ruler for measuring is another instrument that is a 'wand'.

The etymon for the word "wand" comes from early 13th Century Norse "vondr" ("rod, switch") and originates from an even older Indo-European/Germanic usage related to wicker work in Germanic households--and the root for "wicker" is mid-14th Century Scandinavian akin to the Middle Swedish "viker" ("willow branch"), Old Norse "vikja" ("to move, turn"), and Swedish "vika" ("to bend"), related to Old English "wiccan" to mean "to give way, yeild".

What I am attempting to convey is that education is the key to all oppurtunity! The "wand" is a symbol for many traditional and modern inventories. Whether of agricultural, industrial, astronomical, academic, or any other field of endeavor, the "rod" is esoterically the MASTER GLAND or pineal gland that is the harmony of the body-mind-soul. The Creator endowed us with every means to uplift and better our inner and outer worlds!

That may be so, but some get soo angry, that they become disrespectful and rude in their comments towards those who believe in God. Now this site is a whole lot better when it comes to actually debating and remaing respectful towards others, than the ones ive previously been on, but i see that they do tend to get a bit more irritated than others.

To clarify, before i get the "well christians are this and that, " that im speaking on what ive seen. Not necessarily in here because this is my first day actually reading anything and most seem to simply be passionate about what they believe. So please, none get offended.

Friend HM,

Personal understanding is that the culprit is the Human mind which creates DUALITIES.
It has created both God and Satan by default and likwise good and bad, moral and immoral etc. etc.
When there is no-mind, one is only a part of that *WHOLE* where dualities do not exists as everything is inclusive and ONE.
Unless one merges with that *whole* and becomes a part of it, the mind will remain and creates the situations that you speak of.

Love & rgds

In my view point anyone who thinks that is too immature to realize that its our fault.

I think we've all had our moments. I know ive tried to justify my wrongs on many occassions. It was a learning process.

God gave Man dominion....
It is therefore Man that allows the pain and suffering.

There are people who claim that there is absolutely nothing that happens without Gods approval. That every single thing that happens happens according to gods plan.

Which means that all abortions are a part of god's plan.
All sickness, disasters, killings, mutilations, etc. only happen because it is what god planned.
