Why Do People Blame or Disown God

[Dana]

when humanity doesn't bring perfection and hands us hard times?

 

[Minor Axis]

When does life bring anyone perfection?

 

[Thornless]

I don't blame or disown him/her/it/them.... I never followed to begin with.

To each their own though.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

If there is a god, I highly doubt he has any actual control over anyones lives, there are just way to many for one person to take care of!

 

[sophie]

Because it's easier than taking responsibility themselves?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Because everybody wants to blame someone for how their life turned out. Even when they don't truly believe.

I blame Springsteen

 

[Springsteen]

Everyone blames me for something.

As for the question, I believe it's because God's an easy target and people just use him as an excuse for their lives being in such a mess.

Me? I don't care one jot, I don't blame God as I don't believe there is a God.

I don't know about that. In one game I had 12 Sims living under the same roof, and I was able to keep up just fine. :dunno

Well I 'could' blame you as well as Springers, however I make so few mistakes I just wouldn't keep you busy enough LOL

this was the type of answer i was looking for...

But to extend on it, all the mishaps and personal tragedies in the world, whether you believe in a God or not, I hear people using God as an excuse well... this is proof God doesn't exist or why does God hate me? Am I making sense?

 

[itsmeJonB]

A lot of the misfortunes in the world don't make sense if there really was a god.

Yep you are. People are more than willing to take the credit when things go well, but when things don't go so well, they're tripping all over themselves to blame someone-anyone-else.

Negativity never made me not believe. There is just nothing that has happened to make me believe.
