    Ever notice how when people win something like the lottery or a sporting event or they just get ahead in life they always thanks god/jesus but when they lose they don't blame them?

    At that point God the all powerful becomes God the all powerless?

    There are plenty of people that blame God for their bad situations. So, I don't really have a response because I find your question misleading.

    They fabricate this no lose situation for them and the invisible super daddy. When something good happens it's a result of gods intervention, When something bad happens it part of the master plan, which apparently can only be executed in mysterious ways, Like by giving a baby a terrible, painful fatal disease.

    So basically, They have manufactured a contrived illogical belief where whatever happens, it can be attributed to an invisible man in the sky.

    You're right. It is a leading question. That question is meant to lead into it's natural successor.... if God is so great why is this place all going to hell in a hand basket?

    But in all seriousness. What examples of people blaming God but at the same time support him?

    Because in reality my question was pointed at them.

    The story of Job is an ideal example. Job knew that while the terrible things happening to him were not directly of God, but God allowed them to occur. At the same time, he remained worshipful despite likely having worse conditions than any of us here in this thread.
