God means well

but He is to blame for everything?

God is often talked about as sort of a king Santa Claus. God does not actually exist himself but while he is not true as an actual god he is true as a meaning is true as if he were god. I am not talking about any atheist views but views coming from the seminaries themselves. 

All my life many have been teaching budding pastors that the stories in the bible are not true. Only the stories' meaning is true. By all my life I am talking specifically about the time I was learning that Santa Claus was not true. I figured from that that the stories in the bible are not true any more than Santa Claus was true. But the meaning was true.

I deal with this subject where people believe in Christ but not His power in Church & Faith at Pulpit Rock. I can remember adults talking about Pulpit Talk as all things believed in pretense for the good of the children. I tell the story behind the title there.
