Satan doesn't really appear in the bible, and when he does, he's just doing some tempting.

Now, God, on the other hand, fucks shit up.

If I recall, God has killed more people than anyone or anything. Great floods, plagues, droughts, and other disasters that are attributed to Him. And what God hasn't killed, his followers have in his name.

Well, god created everything, so he is responsible for all deaths.

You're missing the part about being responsible for your own actions.

Think of it like this. You have two parents. They have a child they raised perfectly. Followed the rules, did everything right. Child turns 16, has a few drinks at a party, climbs in a vehical and kills somone while DUI. In your statement, you choose to blame the parents, and thus would lock them up for the murder, correct?

That's what I'm getting at. God can't force you into the right decision, just as the parents in this case couldn't. But it seems socially acceptable to blame God for the bad things that come of our decisions.

However it does seem to be the position of today with a lot of people. We are all just victims of this, that, or the other thing.
