Why do people give Satan a free pass and blame every bad thing that happens on God?

True, God permits bad things to happen as in the book of Job (who also blamed God) but it was

Satan who does the evil. God did destroy some people in the O.T. but it was because of their wicked

ways. And by the way God gave Job double of everything that Satan took from him.

    The truth is because people will always blame the one who they think should love the most, this is why people believe that God should stop Satan immediately..

    We all know that God represents love and Satan represents hate, good and evil, Satan made his own path that has to reach its eventual outcome..

    In actual fact God did not Create Satan, God Created Lucifer the highest Angel of all, it was Lucifer that Created Satan, when Lucifer betrayed God he became Satan after God cast him out of Heaven for the betrayal..

    The people who blames God does not know the full story and they do not realise anything about the impact that Lucifer had by his evil actions in heaven, Lucifer's actions was the origins of evil, God had nothing to do with it, this is when Lucifer became Satan and evil was born..

    So when one blames God and not Satan they are making a grave mistake, God is innocent to the cause of evil..

    People are like that, im not Christian, however people do believe god does bad things to them because they secretly hope that he will click his fingers and make everything perfect for them, he will fix everything for us and make heaven on earth for us, its not supposed to be like that...

    He created us and gave us free will, this life is supposed to be a test for us, people forget that and just want god to do everything for him, when they see or experience evil they blame god, even when the devil whispers in their ears, they follow him and blame god, thats obviously satans plan... However the people that do that, do that to their own souls, they are wronging themselves and not harming god...

    He is forgiving and all he asks is you seek him

    People ask him for things like God help me out of debt, a reasonable person would say back to them that, why would god help you out of debt did he put you into debt and tell you to spend beyond your means, he is still forgiving though and often will help you however no one sees the signs and nobody pays any attention when he does help... Its part of human nature

    As far as god not helping when he sees suffering, its is humans that cause the suffering of others, each person has it within them to stand up and stop it or do something good to help others, its not god thats causing the suffering, its people the people that are tested the most if they stay strong they will receive the most in return, the people that just see that and use that as an excuse to not have any faith in god or deny god, then they are wronging themselves...

    Anyway just my opinion :)

    way back in the day, God decided that he was tired of watching furry pr0n, so he created a Final Boss, aka Satan, for the lulz. Lucario was dissappointed that God didn't make him a Final Boss, so Lucario used his mind-raping powers to convince the world that God is to blame for everything. Except WTC. That was entirely Gumby's fault.

    Because God is almighty. Satan is impotent. God created, controls, and decides to keep Satan alive. Therefore God is responsible.

    God gave Job double, but still killed his original family and replaced them with a new one. That's terrible. I would not give up my family for double of anything. Nothing could make up for the senseless death of those I love dearly. No riches, no money, no land. Nothing. God can not make up for that to Job.

    If Fat Don Clemenza goes out and executes a crime with the foreknowledge and tacit approval of the Boss, is The Godfather somehow innocent?

    people believe the devil is bad and don't expect anything more. but god is suppose to be good, why let the bad things happen? is he not THE creater, the head honcho, the man, etc.? or was there a hostile take over that wasn't made public? seems to me free will was a mistake. oh wait, god makes no mistakes. that means that he planned all of this.......... THANKS GOD

    No.

    No devil is blame for all of the bad, and no god gets credit for all of the good. Life happens, good and bad. People are responsible the good and bad they cause. Stop pointing fingers and own up to your actions.

    In my opinion. Only a fool says there is no God. God can exist without the world, but the world cannot exist without God.

    No, I don't blame anything on those 2 imaginary characters. People and nature are the cause of bad things. Nature can't be blamed, but people can be.
