why do all you non-belivers try to blame every thing on God?

Because it's the easier of the two options.  The other option of course is taking the blame for their own sin.

everything happens for a reason!\nand dont stop believing in God, He knows what He is doing. \nmaybe its your own fault but you cant see it.

You're completely right. I am agnostic, I dont believe in organized religion as a whole, but I am very interested in learning about religions and why people follow them. I am constantly told that I am going to hell for my beliefs, and that I should pray to god and all this crap.\n\nIf thats what you want to believe and how you want to live your life than thats fine...but why do I have to believe in it too.\n\nTheres so much hypocrasy in "religious" people today. I just think its so wrong to preach about acceptance and unconditional god love, and then go and spit at someone for having a different god than you, or none at all.\n\nYou hit the nail on the head!

In the sense that most Christians blame Satan for things that go wrong and pray to a deity for things they want, yes, absolutely, it's a childishness. To simply want to "believe" without evidence is another sign of arrested development, as well.

If I am not mistaken, I don't think this was a generalization made that all non-beilievers are mean spirited and cruel.  (At least I hope not)  I think that each religion gets misunderstood at one time by those not of that religion, and some people just don't know how to address what they don't understand. There are those that do.  They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.  I am a Christian, I believe, but i do not force my beliefs on anyone. i may share something about God, but I cannot judge anyone if they do not believe--and I don't think we should judge and ridicule each other.

Exactly!  Shouldn't they  love and accept everyone even if they don't believe in God.  Another example of pure hypocrisy to me.  But I'll take sociopath, that's a good description!

That is because i am stupid and i choose to believe even if you don't. \n\nI for one believe everyone is entitled to their opinions and believe systems, but your opinion should not give you the right to call me stupid or any other name. \n\nHave you ever considered you could be wrong? What would you do then? I sure would like to see the smile on your face on that day. Any how, i believe in God because i know he first loved me. I know He loved me because i have experienced and continue to experience the liberty and peace of heart and mind the work of His son on the cross of Calvary did for me. You could be wrong you know, think about it.

Your right, because even when atheists are in pain they call out "OH GOD!" if they don't believe in God, why do they subconsciously call out for him when they are in pain or when they need help?

Dont compare God to the foolishness of man. Sometimes you can find God in the most unlikely of places, and sometime those that say they are Godly men are the farthest from God of all men. This isnt Gods fault. Dont blame him for the way mankind may behave. :)

Because God doesn't exist. And everyone suffers sometimes, it's part of life!

We call these people hypocrites.  Others may say, it is because people don't really understand the Bible and invent their own interpretation.  Then other want to act cool to others and do other things behind close doors.  Then others say "God gave us the choice to believe in Him or not to believe in Him.  In the end we all will be judge.

Good first part of your question. If they don't believe then why judge or blame?  It seems they would be blaming and judging something they don't even believe and/ or think exists.  Simple example--If I don't believe the New York Mets exist how could I ridicule their poor play?Yo easily, people take credit for anything good that becomes them but blame God for the bad. Why is that?

im kinda curious why you keep on saying "you" instead of "they". you are pretty quick to point the finger here when really, your doing the same thing you accuse these other people for doing.  what makes all of your labeling and judgement on these people ok, but their labeling and judgement not ok?  now dont get me wrong, i think it gets pretty annoying when some christians feels they are higher and mightier than everyone else and in turn, they are so eager to cast the first stone and call out everything they feel is wrong.  i am a christian and always find myself quite a bit embarrassed when other christians, or self-presumed christians embarrass the faith, like in the example you gave.\n\nthis is just on a side note, but im thinking you have had a fair share of encounters with believers about religious topics.  and im guessing they all turned from peaceful conversation into heated debate which only adds fuel to your fire on not getting along with christians and  you viewing them in a negative way.  (this may  not be true, dont worry, in a way im not even directing this towards you,  i just have a few atheist friends with this problem so i thought id share this idea in hopes that it might open someones eyes who reads  this)  so think of yourself here.  and look  back on a specific argument you had.  i can  almost garuntee that you were so  quick not to accept whatever the believer had to say, just because of the  pride  in which you hold in being an atheist.  this allows for negativity to come into play and inevitable frustration on both ends causing for harsh words and you not accepting christians even more than before.\n\nthe christian idea is to spread the word  of God and show people how great the lord's love is and how it can change your life and especially your death.  christians do not aim at upsetting people and making them feel bad by pointing out everything that they do wrong.  christians know the love of god and want to show that to everyone, so they try to show you what you are doing wrong in the eyes of god and they  are wanting to help you turn from that.  you may even be the nicest person ever; youre caring, considerate, and just an overall good person.  the mistake that people make who are like this is that they believe they will enter the gates of heaven just for their deeds.  it clearly  states in the bible that salvation and the ticket to heaven is through jesus christ, and jesus christ only.  it even says no man's deeds will give  him  permission into heaven.\n\ni  realize i  got a bit off  topic here and i apologize,  i guess i just got a little caried away.\n\nanyway, i just ask that you dont label all christians just because there are one or two quacks that youve run into.  things like the example you brought up is really just embarrassing and ridiculous.

More importantly, and I suspect this is what you're getting at, why would a god who wants worship set himself up to be totally illogical and irrational? I think that if there was a god controlling it all, we'd be somehow predispositioned to believing in him, rather than having to ignore all logic and reason just to get into heaven.

I've been on the other side where I thought that people who didn't believe in god must feel lost.  (I was raised to think they are evil.)  So, I can kinda understand why some religious individuals think that non-believers feel some sort of void or are immoral.  However, I also view that stance as an immature belief.  It doesn't take a lot of looking around to realize that agnostics and atheists are very content with their worldviews and live ethical lives.

I don't know, I don't get it either. What's the big deal? There are a lot of things people like to complain about I guess, and God is one of them. It's sad.

the same spirit is seen here when people try to blame everything on GOD...Instead of recognizing HIM as the ONE who knows what is best for us and accepting HIS will in life, these people think in their own little small window of perception that they know best for their lives...if I can only see two feet to either side of my face, only several hundered feet to the front of me, and not behind me at all without turning my head, why would I EVER think that I could see what was best for me more so than GOD does?\n\nThe creation makes a BIG mistake in believing itself to be greater than the CREATOR.
