Great read!
A/N: I have capitalized the first letter of God here. This is because God is very great, and it is my way to keep respect of God. Once my teacher told me always capitalise the fisrt letter of God.
We blame God for almost everything. There is one thing which we are unaware of. God has left 50% of all the tasks in our hands.
He gave you money. But how you spend it, is in your hand. He gave you happiness. But how you celebrate it, is in your hands. He gave you problems. How you solve them, is in your hand. He gave you life. How you live, is completely in your hand.
I do agree that there are some things, some exceptions to this, as the world is the full of exceptions. The life of a child who is dependant on his parents is an exception to this. For him everything occurs because of God. Parents for him, is another form of God. If the child is physically healthy and belongs to a good family in all the aspects, be it financial backgorund, moral values, ethics, loving and caring, it is all because of the blessings of God.
But if the child is deprived of any one of these aspects, it is all because of his bad luck. He has no option but to blame God. Because for him, all the things are controlled by God.
But, wouldn't it be a crime for an independant person to blame God for everything?
A/N: If you have any suggestions or if you feel against anything mentioned above, feel free to mention in your comments. I am a human too, and I maybe wrong in anything stated above.
This is a really confusing piece! You state at first that "we blame God for almost everything." I thought at first you were going to explain this statement a bit... after all, what does it mean to blame God for almost everything? How do we blame God? What don't we blame God for (since you left it open so that there weren't things we blame God). Also, what if somebody doesn't blame God? So, there were a bunch of questions that your statement brought up and then... you didn't explain it. You probably should!
And then, 50% of tasks? That doesn't quite make sense. Then you kind of used strange theology to define what you meant... God giving money, happiness, problems, life and then saying that it was up to us to figure out what to do with this stuff. But, that seems to beg the question of free will. Your statement seems to be indicating that we have no free will... that what we are given is merely what God decides and that we can only figure out what to do with what we are given. So, for money, your logic seems to insist that we cannot get a better-paying job or a second job and get more money. We can only spend it. That seems odd to me because it's living in such a passive way in which we don't really have any free will and that we cannot do anything to better our lives.
But then, you seem to go off and say that living in this sort of manner is living independently, for some reason. I am not sure why... this way of living seems very dependent. For instance, if you really want to go with the whole supposition that God gives you money... well, what if you're unemployed and broke and have no money? What then? Has God decided to not give you any money? Has God looked down on you and decided, "Yeah... this person sucks. Screw him. He doesn't need any money." (Aside: If someone doesn't have any money, can he blame God for not giving him any money, even if he's not a child?)
And then you talk about how a child is shaped entirely from the parents and that they are totally dependent on their parents. So, they can blame God because they are dependent on their parents on being physically healthy, belonging to a good family, and whatnot. So, it's okay for children to blame God if their life sucks.
But... adults can't blame God? So, if a child gets cancer, the child can blame God because of bad luck. If an adult gets cancer... perhaps that's just a problem that the adult needs to solve for himself?
Looking at some of your comments that you made, it might be a good thing to describe what religious or spiritual beliefs you are approaching this discussion with, because you seem to believe things such as karma and reincarnation and seem to be assuming that everyone else believes in this. But, not everybody believes in this! For example, I'm a Christian and Christians tend to look at this and wonder about free will (or, the belief that God has given us freedom to live our lives and choose whether to align our wills with His).
Anyway, just some thoughts!
I really liked this piece. It really expressed all of my morals and values about God. I agree with you 100% with everything that you expressed here. I did notice a few typos. Like "capitalise" is spelled as capitalize. And "fisrt is spelled as "first." But other than that, this piece is great.
To answer the question you asked of MooCowPoop below, free will is the idea that we are all free to choose - be it choose to follow God, or choose not to. We have the freedom to make our own choices. Basically, it's that there's no God up there controlling our thoughts, or the actions we choose to take. We freely choose for ourselves out of our will to do whatever it we choose.
Sorry I explained that in so many words. I hope this makes sense.

How could He be twisted enough to deprive a person--a "child" as you so describe--of their livelihood?
