Because of little Faith,Pray to god to increase Faith in God.

God will work through your blaming and Prove that He is Love.
God Bless:)

Hi Rj

I really like this question because it shows you have faith in God just an inaccurate view of Him. I believe you have God "on trail" - meaning that if circumstances don't go the way you want and God doesn't intervene the way you expect then it confirms your suspicion that God doesn't care or that He is not good or that He is a judge waiting to get even with sinners. Kinda like Jim Carrey in this scene: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p68zH_Dw0Zw

The good news is He is not like that at all! He is amazingly freeing! But getting to really know Him takes time and effort and then He flips the way you think completely upside down!

If you are interested in finding out more about who God really is this is a fionab has sound teachings about God at

You can't blame someone you don't think is real.... therefore you are a theist and do indeed believe in God.

Because of your/our Adamic nature you/we blame Him.

And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
(Gen 3:12) (see the blame?)

Your unbelief stems out of that blame so it keeps you 'safe' and in hiding from Him.

He really is seeking for you to come clean and confess your need of His Son's saving grace.

rjlaroche, the fact that you blame God for every misfortune that befalls you tells me that you DO believe in God, or at least have some idea that he exists. We are not meant to have easy lives to live. There are calm times and times of turbulence. We have to take the bad with the good, and try to turn it into something positive. That is why God gives us trials and tribulations: to see how well (or poorly) we deal with what he throws at us. We can let adversity beat us down, or we can let it raise us up above the craziness. If you pray to God, ask him to reveal himself to you and ask him to help you through whatever problems you're going through. He's always listening and he always answers. :)

Because with our human nature we are more comfortable to point our finger n' blame someone n' push the burden away from us and unfortunately, the easiest way to go is to blame God when He died for you and me. He went through an awful physical, psychological and emotional pain for our sake when He was able to stop all of this with a blink of an eye. But He chose to go through it all to save us. Yet, still, we blame Him n' for some people like you, you don't even believe He exists. Isn't it so sad?........... :(
