Veteran Member: I Share (not Debate) my POV
Obviously I was not clear enough, I hope this clarifies it. I put the quotes in the spoiler to keep it clean hereSorry I am not understanding you?
The point was: Is God responsible for the mess humans make ... being God, He is the One who created us this way? Correct?
You said "God is to blame if it exists and created human nature."
I said "I agree" + I concluded, so "You are to blame if you exist and created your children ... do you agree?"
You did not answer my question BUT said "Our children are in their 40s, we are extremely proud of them, they have turned out well."
IF your children did not make 1 mistake my question did not apply to you. BUT chances are they did make 1 stupid mistake
So the answer should be simple and somewhere along the lines of: "Yes, I created my children, so I am responsible for their mistakes"
At least I take full responsibility for the "things that I create" ... so I admit "my fault" ... I don't blame "God" for mistakes I make
God created humans, so God is responsible for mistakes humans make. Parents create children, so parents are responsible for mistakes their children make
So as humans can also create they seem to be a little "God" themselves. Hence they should take a little responsibility for their own creations
We have the Law, AND don't get away with "God created me ... put God on the stand" ergo "it seems we are supposed to take responsible for our mistakes"
Bible even says "God is our Father .. we are His children" ... indeed means we are "little Gods"
Similar thoughts I also came across in India ... so there might be some truth in it ... little maybe

It sickens me that some people consider their version of a god more important than their family, even their children
I do not judge people on this, for I do not know their situation. Some families can be very sick and hurtful.
The worst person in the world is better than the Biblical god, if the deeds attributed to it have any truth.
Indeed "IF"
In the Middle Ages (1500) people were quite barbaric, so in the years of Muhammad (0700) even more barbaric is my guess.
Imagine how barbaric they were in the time of Jesus (0000).
So when the Bible talks about people dying, I can imagine they attributed it to God, whereas in reality it was just a natural disaster
So the stories of some barbaric people say nothing to me about this hypothetical God to whom they attribute all their troubles
Even now many people have this tendency to blame others for their own faults. In those years they blamed it on God.

I agree.
I don't know if you have children, but every mistake they make ... you are the one to be blamed, that's what you try to say here, aren't you?
Our children are in their 40s, we are extremely proud of them, they have turned out well.
You do blame God (if "it" exists as you say)
But you seem to "measure with two sizes" as you conveniently avoid to answer my question about exactly the same issue "focus on you this time"
Sorry I am not understanding you?
