We have to take responsibility for our actions and make things right when we wrong someone. The devil didn't make me do it, god didn't make me do it, and no one can become a sacrifice for the things I may have done. It is my responsibility. Religion is a scapegoat mentality.

Blaming god for things is not unusual. I’ve known a whole bunch of people that do it. I worked with a couple that lost their son and who lost their faith at the same time because of it. They vocally blamed god but didn’t stop believing in him. I know a lady who lost her hearing in one ear because some guy shot a 357 right beside her ear blowing out her eardrum and who does she blame? Not the guy but god; she’s still a true believer. “It’s so wonderful that god caused me to lose hearing because of some idiot.” Another friend who had a blow out on the highway was helped because a good Samaritan stopped to help her and proceeded to thank god and the guy said: “My name’s Jose.” It happens continually. A lot of folks attribute every last thing that happens to them as an act of god. I didn’t hear the O’Reilly thing but he is a true believer which means that things don’t have to make sense but that just making things sound Jesusey, godly makes everything peachy, dory. They’re verifying their flight to heaven.

I have discussed this concept with other theists who claim I really do believe but accused me of being mad at God and blaming God for not giving me a better life. I reply in patient responses. My life isn't without regret but of those things I regret in life all are my doing. God doesn't exist for me to blame nor would I if he did. When I have wronged someone, it's my job to atone for that not through a God but through actions like an apology to that individual that I have hurt. These are things secular people do, and Christians sometimes fail to understand.
