First, I can no more blame a god who doesn't exist than I can fly. Likewise, I don't blame Santa when I don't get what I wanted for Christmas.
Moreover, your entire statement amounts to a massive example of the tu quoque fallacy, or "you too" fallacy. I can blame both myself and God. That I have committed a sin does not excuse or erase any that God may have committed (if he existed). That you think that blame shifting is a workable defense speaks more to your faults than mine. Your whole religion is about shifting blame. And you have the gall to tell us we want to make another, God, responsible for our wrongs? Look in the fucking mirror, asswipe. You celebrate your doing that exact shit and call it holy.
More double standards from the people who patented talking out of both sides of the mouth at once.
I'm curious, how is it a double standard on the Christian's part to blame man, when the original story shows man is responsible. You do understand if you were to be tested on scripture as a subject, you would fail, do you not. It is the unbeliever who twist the story around to fit the evil mind of man, please do not think I'm saying you or anyone else here are evil all men have the propensity to be evil. Only those who do not like what they read or are told twist the Bible's stories around to blame God for their short comings.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
