They refuse to accept that God is deist.
This is an interesting question, and one that ultimately reveals our own weaknesses, rather than those of God. I think it's natural for a frail human being (and we're all frail) to question the will of God, much as a child questions the decisions of a parent. But if a parent is truly loving, then their decisions are always for the best of the child. The problem is, a wilful child thinks they know best, and will baulk at, and oppose, good advice. God's correction can be difficult to accept, but is necessary if wayward behaviour is to be realigned with truth.I wonder about this, Why do some judge God when their own life is difficult?
Is it actually God who made their life difficult?
To be very clear, this is not a judgement by me toward those who do blame God for their trouble. That have to be between them and God

It's difficult to take responsibility for one's own mess, much easier to blame others, easiest to blame God (God won't blame you for blaming Him
)
If God is in control (and exists at all), then yes: it would ultimately be God who made their life difficult.
Actually i thank Allah for both good and bad that happen to me in my life
Because the good things is a blessing and the bad things is a wakup call and a lesson for me.
In the story of Job, Job was wrong.
Seems to me that this is still judging God. You've just decided to interpret the bad in your life as good.Actually i thank Allah for both good and bad that happen to me in my life
Is thanking someone for giving me more wisdom about my own being judgment of God?
Yes. You've judged God's actions - or what you perceive as God's actions - to be praiseworthy.
Not mutually exclusive things. Giving thanks implies judgment.
Yes. Judging God or his actions to be good is most certainly judgment.
May it be that I have come to realizing that I accept both the blessing and the pain that I receive. No Judgment of God from my side
So you've decided that you don't give thanks to God? You just said you did.
I said i give thanks to Allah every day both for the blessing and the pain.
So then every day, you judge Allah to be worthy of your thanks.
Yes, that's correct.
I was more getting at the idea that it would be practically impossible to never judge, so maybe he could lighten up about it.
That's a humanist way of looking at it. The other is to recognise that a spiritual war is taking place. Those that stand squarely for the God of Truth will attract the greatest hate of the enemy.
But that's not the message of the story. Job "stood squarely for the God of Truth" and was fine: he was protected by God. The reason Job suffered misfortune was because Satan convinced God to drop that protection.
