Why do some people blame God?

I also blamed God and even leave Him. In my surroundings, I think people blame God for two reasons: 1. God don't give positive feedback to their prayer. Prayer without real faith and correct opinion. When we pray for something we want or we think good, but God don't answer, sometimes, God give you what you don't want or you think bad, but sometimes, no any feedback, it seems you pray to air. For me, I've been praying for one thing in my life, and this thing is common for everyone from about 7 years ago. But I haven't gotten feedback until this June. - Even now, I still don't get what I want. I'm still praying and waiting. Now I realize there is something wrong with my life, but before 2008, I didn't think so. What I thought was I kept praying but God, you didn't answer me. In these situation, we always blame God directly but don't do self-reflection and asked ourselves what's wrong. 2. We meet the calamity in our lives, though we are religious - like Job in Old Testament. What a coincidence! A young couple joined our fellowship two weeks ago. And the wife was always crying when she told us her 8-year-old son getting leukemia. How pity! And cure rate of this illness is 95%, but unfortunately, her son is in 5%. What his husband said made me touched. He said, we know this child is God's gift to them. And this child is His, including his life, of course. But we don't know why it happened? Pls pray for us! I think maybe we will ask ourselves, do not answer it too quickly. What will happened if you are really in Job's trouble? Really. But of course, believing in God is a process and hard subject to learn. It need us effort whole life.

Hi friend, I have done it. Because I was unable to suffer the trials nad tribulations that were on my way. I believe Him that He is my abba father and I am His child. But most of the time I couldn't feel Him during the sufferings which I undergo. I often thought that if I am His child then why He allows this in my life and started asking questions why. Today I read a word from Isaiah that "shall the thing framed say of Him that framed it, He had no understanding?" It really speaks.. And another word from the bible clearly pictures out everything in Rom 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose"..So after that God knows it is for good and started believing that He is allowing this for my good.. Now its going smoothly.. Cheers . God bless you. Have a nice day....

I understand why people blame God in hard times. Lets put it this way: When you have good times and everything is going well, you say Thank God! Because you believe that God gives you all good things. You are not to blame for the good things. God is. So, now there are bad things happening, you are not happy. Know it is your own fault??? God had nothing to do with it anymore??? Did you ever think that everything happens for a reason?

Very true, many people have this habit of blaming the Lord for their sinful deeds. This is innate and a part of human nature, we don't accept our mistake ourself unless we are accused by someone. Despite knowing that it is the person himself responsible for most of the mistakes he would never claim that yes, I am a sinful creature! Instead, he would go to the Church/Temple, and put the blame on God that he didn't heed to the prayers, the offerings and let this thing happen. This is all due to the mentality of people which can only be improved if a person believes in himself and in God, with this he would usher with an influential spiritual aura, and even spread this message in the world.

hello levite, Not only they blame but they also hate, and choose not to believe in the LORD anymore. i have no idea why, probably because they dependent so much onhim that they don't do a damn thing about their lives, they don't accept their mistakes and faults, instead they blamed it on god and that is not fair i supposed. i remember this user from friendster, which until this day he keeps on blabbering about the bible being not so convincing, this man was once a dedicated christian and all of a sudden he became an atheist. i pity the man who once had faith.

I think they blame God, because they wouldn't like to accept that they made mistakes. They simply didn't realized that their problem is the consequences of their actions. I think there are also other people who indeed have relationship with God, and then when they're faith were being tested they blame Him. Others blame of Him also, because they have a misconception about His true identity. It's very important to know your faith and know what you believe, you need to get into deep. So in the end you've got no one to blame. Have a great day!

Most people blame God simply because they dont want to know the caused of the real problems. They are scared to face the reality. Its not good pointing to others our mistakes we made for our self. Lets face reality, our life is how we made it..we all have choices how to run our life. Most accidents is caused by human mistakes..God is out to this problem so dont blame him...but ask for guidance to solve the problems we get ourself into.
