Satan Worshipper
It seems to me that the good in the world comes about through a human agent. For example, a homeless person gets fed because a stranger gives him money. Many people would praise God for that.
It also seems that evil in the world comes about through a human agent. For example, a person is mugged on the street. Many people only blame the mugger for the act.
My question is, if many people don't hold God accountable for evil that comes through a human action, why do they praise him for good that comes through a human action?
This question comes to my mind often when saying grace before eating. If we are thanking God for providing us food in times of plenty, then why isn't he responsible for not providing food in times of scarcity?
I am not questioning the existence of God. I think the question challenges either his omnipotence or his omnibenevolence.
