People have a real problem with blaming God for their troubles.
I am all for blaming God. And we should not feel guilty for doing so. Why? Because “He” (just using that because of the common vernacular) has the biggest shoulders, and he created this mess.
I wish to refrain from blaming human beings who have been virtually blind folded and are expected to guide themselves and others through this confusing life without running into things. π€¦
People don’t like me talking like this, because “God” or our concept of Him is the only means for self soothing that is not tainted by this world. I get it. But, maybe we need to look at the reasons for our need to spiritually ’self soothe’? Why do we need a blameless Daddy?
Maybe our problems remain, because we constantly self blame and make ourselves responsible for failing. Maybe it isn’t our fault? And we carry around this false guilt that does not belong to us. Put it on God’s shoulders, literally for that is where it belongs.
Perhaps this is the meaning the Gospel should have had. Instead of finding Himself an innocent lamb (human sacrifice), He should have been the scapegoat for what He created.
