Why don't we hold God accountable for his mistakes? The question seems odd for me to ask seeing as I don't believe in a deity. Still, if God were to exist as prortrayed to me, why don't we call him out? He's messed up big time. His lack of interaction has been the cause for so much death, destruction, greed, and list goes on. We are told to blame ourselves and to hold ourselves accountable. This I get not believing in that kind of God, but if an omniscient being exist, why would he allow his? Is it saddism? Bordem? He would seem to have the ability to interact with us, why doesn't he? Jesus doesn't seem like enough to justify this. Heaven isn't enough to justify this. What is Gods justification?

Why is this in the New User section? You have been on the site a week, and aren't introducing yourself.

imagine what the letters you type must think when you use the delete & the backspace key.

but it's not really their place to say you shouldn't be allowed to edit them, is it?

i wonder if the letter "z" believes in you, since it doesn't tend to see much of you lol. the letter "f" probably thinks you are a sadist. if all those letters started parading around judging you and trying to rearrange themselves into gibberish, you know what i bet you would do?
you'd be like "heh, document is corrupted" attempt recovery, and delete it when that fails, after pulling out whatever good parts you could save.

God stood trial already and was crucified for you. He suffered one of the most inhumane executions men could imagine.

what more do you want?

Quote "Why don't we hold God accountable for his mistakes? "

Because He doesn't make any.


Quote " Still, if God were to exist as prortrayed to me, why don't we call him out?"

How has He been portrayed to you?


Quote " His lack of interaction has been the cause for so much death, destruction, greed, and list goes on."

His lack of interaction or our lack of obedience?


Quote " why would he allow his? Is it saddism? Bordem? He would seem to have the ability to interact with us, why doesn't he? "

Just because He hasn't with you doesnt mean He hasn't with others down through the years. The Bible says that if we look around us we can see God, and if we seek Him we can find Him.

Quote " What is Gods justification?"

God is holy, He is 100% just and He is creator of all. He doesn't need to justify Himself to anyone. But could you be more clear on the question? Perhaps Im not understanding you.

So if a person robs a bank, it's not the robber who should be held accountable.
It's the bank manager for not having proper security. That poor old robber was
just led into temptation at the thought of easy money. :confused:

Only if he actually wants responses to his question.

If it's just an audience that he is looking for, then mission accomplished.
