Dark ages hit europe
Religious leaders love to play the game of "heads I win, tails you lose".
Times are great: the blessing of the gods be upon us. We must continue to give them praise so they may continue...
Times are crappy: the gods are displeased with us. We must continue to give them praise so they will forgive us and lift the curse...
See also the logical fallacy of confirmation bias.
See also the selective way this logic is used. Or is there some explanation for why Allah has allowed the Muslim world to fall into a Dark Ages of their own following an age where Christian imperialists colonized their lands after zooming ahead of the Muslim world in technology.
As I understand the "Confirmation Bias", it's more like "act a fool" policy, that is pretty pathetic, if a person thought in such way, and made his/her logic based on that.
Islam has a total different POV on the situation. Christianity is the religion that follows the Confirmation bias, Islam doesn't.
The system on earth is the following : human life goes through cycles of good & bad events. A believer would not be affected by those ups & downs, his/her faith should always be static ; not dynamic changing according to the situation, the Quran actually points at that in many verses, take this for example :
Quote:The human is created panicking, if he was touched by evil, he turns anxious, if he was touched by good, he's immune.
note : this is my translation. to find the verse, open up page 569, the arabic quran, to find the verse :
إن الإنسان خلق هلوعاً ()اذا مسه الشر جزوعاً () و اذا مسه الخير منوعاً
So, people who think this way (that you mentioned) are already criticized in the quran, because they didn't know how to overcome their human nature, & stop blaming god for everything. Mose disasters are caused by humans, not god. the quran also mentioned that.
