God presents you with free-will and choice. Therefore, yes, it is YOU that failed based on YOUR decisions.

It may seem easy to blame all of your mistakes on one thing but... highly illogical when you're the one at the wheel.
If I leave a brick out in the middle of the street and I know that the outcome of doing so will be a car accident is it not my fault for causing it?
if you did it , yes , it is your fault

(my keyboard is broken )
God made humans knowing that the outcome would be bad. Whose fault is it now?

really?? so if god wanted to kill your family, kids, wife, etc..you'll just say "okay as long as it's god's plan"

I doubt you'll be saying what you just said if it was your family getting slaughter


Um, no. I'm an atheist. I'm saying, thats what I discovered when I researched the question.

I've already changed it back.

Great, so the results are skewed, because I voted for the top one. :/

Yes because your supposed love God more than anything. Also what you just said actually happened in the Bible. God told someone(I forgot the name) to kill his son in his name. The Dad didn't want to of course because it was his only child but he still listened. But before he did anything God sent down angels to stop the dad because God saw how the Dad was loyal to God more than anything else in the world.

he's a christian dude..read his speaches

I've studied Hitler quite a bit. He wasn't truly a Christian. He also promoted Germanic religion during his stint as as Fuhrer. He was a hardcore Nationalist. The God he was referencing, usually as "The Creator" or "The Providence" wasn't the Christian God as such, it was his own ideal of it.

so god knew Hitler (who believe in god) was gonna killed thousands of people and he let it happened??
am I the only one who see there's something wrong here...or did the Jews deserve it??


PROVE YOUR GOD IS REAL

Hitler was born with sin just like you and me. His decisions and choices lead him to events that you're referring to. He didn't let it happen, Hilter's choices made it so.

I don't understand why you guys thinks that God's tasks are to intervene and stop every single smallest event that is deemed wrong in your personal eyes from happening. The Bible claims that there is a plan that he has for all of us and it's quite clear that we currently cannot understand it.

Not if (and bear with how stupid this sounds) you give that brick the free-will, choice, and knowledge to move out of the way based on the possible outcomes/consequences.

The argument that God is omniscient says otherwise.

Hang on. I'll fix that.

sorry, I can't help my instinct. Forgive me.

Can't help your instinct? So you admit that you swapped the polls around because you didn't like the results?

@TD - Hitler could NEVER have been a christian. Mein Kampf proves this.

Hitler was at one point Christian. He believed he was divinely chosen after an incident in WW1.

I could give it the will to move out of the way. What if I know it will not move out of the way?

God himself is responsible for the largest (alleged) genocide in history, killing every human on earth except one family (eww earth re-population by incest again.)

God would have known what happened later. Hitler commited suicide, and people that deliberately commit suicide go directly to hell.

Find me a passage in the Bible that says this.(hint: it doesn't exist.)
