But you did in your question above. I agree that they are either the acts of people being crappy or natural events. The responsibility / accountability lies with the doer not the observer. I know of no Christians in my church who would state God is liable for everything. They would state he is the originating cause and continues to work in our lives. You're supposing a definition of liable as primary cause of individual acts from involving responsibility of the initial cause. He gave us this world (per the bible) and we've done a good job of messing it up. Neither does this responsibility in either definition correlate to him loving us at all.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
