How come when something good happens, God was behind it. But when something bad happens, we’re behind it?

That’s Christianity for you 🤷🏼‍♀️ Truthfully, if God is as omnipotent as they say, then God is not only responsible for the good and bad things, they know about it and made sure it happened. The problem is, as with many things, people don’t want to bad stuff, they don’t want to deal with the weight of the world and Christianity’s advertising in particular offers peace and relief from these “burdens” you experience. The truth is bad things aren’t just a part of living, it’s necessary for growth of both a mental and spiritual nature. You don’t learn anything from success, but you can learn so much from failure, which is the point of it. God does create bad, uncomfortable moments for the express purpose of helping humanity learn and grow, a lot of us just want our lives to be easier and don’t recognize the good this growth can do for our future selves, so we say bad things are our fault and good things are God’s fault.

Because despite God's listed atrocities, it's easier for his followers to ignore it and condemn others. Intellectual dishonesty.

God gave you the choice to be a good person or a bad person, since god loves us he does for us all the good things but when we choose to go wrong than we can't say that god is behind it because god taught us all the great and beautiful things, while everything else which is bad or negative aren't included in his teachings!

The same way if someone crashes into you it's their fault, but if a tree in a hurricane crashes into you, it's an "act of God".

Too vague. Both can be due to people choosing.  But evil is never from god who is good. But ever since SIN, due to sin see john 1, 5:19.

Actually Satan is behind it but he uses peoples own thinking against them, God allows things to happen but he doesn't cause it to happen

ImalwaysrightOK · Answer

I don't think that. We make things happen and God just watches.

Because people want to make themselves feel better and give a reason for the bad things in life
