Why is God not held accountable?

He will be. Just u wait and see. Super GOD will make him pay for all the atrocities that he is responsible for.

The answer is simple - there IS no God. The bible was written by men....and it wasn't "dictated by God" either. If it was, then why wouldn't God mention anything about fossils? Dinosaurs? That's because men had no idea what fossils were back then....and they also had no idea just how many species of animals existed on the entire planet either (the whole Noah's Ark fable is ridiculous - that boat would have had to have been at least a mile long, and what would the carnivores eat for 40 days?? Rice cakes?). Religion has been responsible for more deaths than anything else on the entire planet - seems like a pretty awful racket to me. Treat your neighbors with respect and kindness; be good to the earth - and your life will be just fine.

God isn't to blame or be held accountable because we are free moral agents. Eccl 9:11 "I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise have the food, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; BECAUSE time and unforeseen occurrences befall them all."

Many people think that the answer to that question is yes. ‘If God cared,’ they reason, ‘would not the world be a very different place?’ We look around and see a world full of war, hatred, and misery. And as individuals, we get sick, we suffer, we lose loved ones in death. Thus, many say, ‘If God cared about us and our problems, would he not prevent such things from happening?’

Worse yet, religious teachers sometimes lead people to think that God is hardhearted. How so? When tragedy strikes, they say that it is God’s will. In effect, such teachers blame God for the bad things that happen. Is that the truth about God? What does the Bible really teach? James 1:13 answers: “When under trial, let no one say: ‘I am being tried by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.” So God is never the source of the wickedness you see in the world around you. (Job 34:10-12) Granted, he does allow bad things to happen. But there is a big difference between allowing something to happen and causing it.

For example, think about a wise and loving father with a grown son who is still living at home with his parents. When the son becomes rebellious and decides to leave home, his father does not stop him. The son pursues a bad way of life and gets into trouble. Is the father the cause of his son’s problems? No. (Luke 15:11-13) Similarly, God has not stopped humans when they have chosen to pursue a bad course, but he is not the cause of the problems that have resulted. Surely, then, it would be unfair to blame God for all the troubles of mankind.

God has good reasons for allowing mankind to follow a bad course. As our wise and powerful Creator, he does not have to explain his reasons to us. Out of love, however, God does this. You will learn more about these reasons in Chapter 11 of 'What Does The Bible Really Teach?'. But rest assured that God is not responsible for the problems we face. On the contrary, he gives us the only hope for a solution!—Isaiah 33:2.

Furthermore, God is holy. (Isaiah 6:3) This means that he is pure and clean. There is no trace of badness in him. So we can trust him completely. That is more than we can say for humans, who sometimes become corrupt. Even the most honest human in authority often does not have the power to undo the damage that bad people do. But God is all-powerful. He can and will undo all the effects that wickedness has had on mankind. When God acts, he will do so in a way that will end evil forever!—Psalm 37:9-11.

Those that believe in a god, are too afraid of risking the the false promise of salvation to critique "gods actions" as unjust.

The Book of Job, gives them an example of "might makes right" type of theology.

God works in mysterious ways, or We can't comprehend God's plan.

Those are the two most common phrases these people come up with to excuse what they can't explain.

because god's a spoiled brat with a hot temper.

often kids aren't held responsible for their actions, especially if it's something big like murder.

god even blames everything on the devil, who never did anything to anyone!

It's pretty plain for anyone who isn't a religious tool that there is nothing there to hold accountable, only ourselves.

It's like someone whom you look up to making a decision which you don't agree with but you still respect his decision.

I'm finna throw you a curve. Maybe they survived somewhere else:

Atheist's thinking is so shallow!

Because then people would have to accept that they worship a monster.
