Why is it never my fault? How come when something goes wrong for me it is always someone elses fault? I try so hard and seem to get nowhere, life is so unfair. There are plenty of people in this country who feel this way. Also, there is strife in the world, hunger, abuse, diseases, murders, rapes and many other terrible things. The amazing thing is to hear some people blame God for all troubles in their lives and of the whole world.

Stop me if you have heard this before. If God is the almighty, then how come He doesn't do anything about it? Or how about this one. If God knows my life before I live it, then why does He allow these terrible things to happen? It is so easy to blame God for the things that go wrong with our lives. But if you want to know the source of who to blame, look in the mirror.

God has not failed us, we as people have failed ourselves. Example; we as people know there are sexual diseases out there, some even life threatening(Aids). But does that stop us from having sex with someone other then who we are married too? No. Many of us go around having multiple sex partners. So we as people take the risk of either obtaining a disease or if we already have one, spreading a disease. And we take this risk everytime we have sex with a new partner. Then what happens? Lets try this. A person goes out and has multiple sex partners, obtains HIV or Aids without knowing it. Then donates some of his/her blood to some blood drive. A child comes along and needs a blood transfusion, receives this blood that is tainted and now someone who is so innocent is now suffering with HIV or Aids. Many people will blame God and say if He loves me so then how can He allow this to happen. But we as people are the ones to blame for this. We are selfious and no one is going to tell us what to do, no matter the risk. We live reckless and then when it comes back to bite us we blame God.

For all the problems in the world, individually or multiple people, humans are to blame for their problems. Think about this for a second. Tomorrow is the Academy Awards(and this is in no way to single out actors, just an example). How many extremely rich people will be riding in limosines in very fancy and exspensive clothes will be going past many homeless and hungry people? Couldn't these people help out the people they drive past? How many people actually help out the poor? And I am not talking about the occasional one dollar handout to a person standing at a freeway exit. And these people who are poor and hungry, how did they get this way? I will bet it was either their fault or someone elses fault, but I can assure you it was not God's fault. But many people will blame God, why is that? Does it make you feel better about yourself? Do you think God put you on this earth only to see you suffer for his amusment? That is sad.

God gives people free will, that is why we are not robots. When someone is murdered, a human did that murder. When someone is raped, a human did that rape. When someone is starving, it is us humans who are blessed with plenty not helping those who are in need. But what do we do with our free will is how the fate of society goes. Here is an example of people blaming God for what they are. Homosexuals. Many homosexuals are just like the rest of us humans. They go to work, help their friends, pay their bills, live normal lives just like us non homosexuals. But their lifestyle is a little different then ours because they are homosexual. I do not have a problem with homosexuals. I love all people. But I am not gay and I do not understand it. So you can still love people even though you don't agree with everything they represent. But how many people have you heard say you are born gay? I totally disagree with that. I think a person becomes gay. That is the free will that God has given us, to choose what we want to do. Is a person born a football player or do they become football player? Is an actor born an actor or become an actor? Born a lawyer or become a lawyer? I could go on and on. The bottom line is that I believe we are all born the same unless we have a defect and we become what we are. But for some reason, when it comes to being gay, we need to justify it somehow. We can't just say I am gay because I choose to be gay. And then how do we explain the bisexuals?

If you think about it, all the troubles in the world are fixable but as humans, most of us only concern ourselves with our little world and ignore the troubles of others. Instead, some of us point the blame at God. But remember the old rule, those who point the blame have more fingers pointing back at you.

There are many problems in the world today. But the only reason there are problems today is because we as humans have taken the free will God gave us and did selfious things with it. And a lot of those selfious things results in the suffering of innocent people. Instead of placing the blame where it is not deserved, lets do something about it. Here is a challenge to all you people who are reading this. Go out this week and do something really special for the needy. Doing good is always better then just observing and being a critic about it. God loves you, He really does. Go out and show your love for others.
