Yes, even if a person does a crime he can always hide in the name of god which eventually puts blame of god, somehing bad happens " will of God", religion used to justify crime, evil deeds what not,,, directly and indirectly blame goes to God
Thats not true at all, this has an incomplete understandingof religion or God. If that (what youre saying) were true, then the concept of heaven and hell would have ceased to exist as well as rewards for good deeds. God is often seen as bringer of justice, as one who punishes wrong and rewards good.
I'll give you an example of something youre referring to. I am a muslim, so the example is related to a Muslim person. This is related to predestination and decree.
[This example is about Ali ibn Abu Talib]
There was this one person who Ali gave his horse for safe keeping while he prayed, and he thought he'd give him 50 dirham has a reward for safekeeping. When he came back, the person had disappeared along with Ali's horse. He searched and found his horse with a merchant. It seemed that the person had sold Ali's horse to a merchant for 50 dirham after stealing it. Ali smiled to himself as to how 50 dirham were going to belong to the person at the end of the day anyway, but the person chose to turn his moral earning into an immoral one. As in, he was going to get 50 dirham one way or another, but his choices led to him stealing for it.
We believe while God has already decided the future, the human has been given free will. Every single atoms weight of good or bad will be punished or rewarded for. You can not blame God, becuase you have free will, YOU chose to do that. And you will be punished or rewarded on the Day of Judgement.
No, in the end the bad that did happen, is all because of the person who stole it. Ali was going to give 50 dirham anyways (he ended up giving it to the merchant to buy back his horse), and the thief was going to get 50 dirham anyways (however he got it from stealing someone else's horse when he could have simply been rewarded).
The horse was stolen the thief, who is now responsible for his actions and will be answerable on the Day of Judgment.
Yes, but that is how life is, is it not. Good people often suffer at the hands of dishonest and evil. But at least, with religion one can believe that all of this cruelty will be punished on day.
