I want all the credit, God can have all the blame

I was thinking today about how every time something bad happens (9/11, Katrina, kidnapped kids...or if nothing recent has happened, the good ol' standby: the Holocaust) people lash out with "Where was God?" "If God was really good and all powerful He wouldn't let this happen!" etc.
But of course when bad things don't happen we ignore it.
For example: we just averted a possible major flu epidemic. Had it come, no doubt God would have been the scapegoat for a lot of people, but I haven't heard one person throw themselves on the ground and thank God for it not happening.
Why?
Because God is like public health. (huh?) Yes. See, the analogy works pretty well because public health was scrambling during the beginning of the swine flu breakout. Scrambling to discourage travel, track the virus, dissect the virus, build an effective vaccine, stockpile Oseltamivir, keep people from panicking, quarantine people who had been exposed, poured over biostatistics, cursed Joe Biden, ran tests on millions of nasal swabs...ect.
But despite all this work, there's no telling if they managed to prevent anything from happening or if it never would have happened anyway.
Similarly, we can't tell when God has intervened or when nothing bad was headed our way to begin with. We can only tell when public health or God have "failed." And even then, you can't actually tell if they failed because you have no way of know how bad it would have been without them.

Here's a bright idea: how about we take some of the blame for the bad shit that happens in life?
Why did the holocaust happen?
1. Because we who "won" WWI forced Germany to live in economic and literal ruins, priming the German people to follow whatever radical idiot promised to restore their national standing in the world.
2. Because we ignored all the warning signs that Hitler was a freak of a nature. We ignored the fact that Jews were disappearing, we ignored Hitler's incredibly transparent speeches about his genocidal goals, we even ignored it when he started invading other countries!
3. Because when we finally woke up from our sugar comas we still couldn't get on the same page and band together to stop the devil man. To this day people will argue that it was wrong to go to war or that it was wrong for people to try to assassinate Hitler.
Who's to blame for the Holocaust? Everyone on the planet at the time who didn't do anything to stop it. Every leader of every country who didn't do everything they could to stop it, regardless of popular opinion or opinion of other countries.

We're not near smart enough to understand why God allowed it (obviously, because I've yet to hear of anyone with a good reason). We never will be.

And until human beings as a whole start attempting to take care of these problems themselves (instead of prizing their money more than the lives of their fellow human beings) I refuse to take any individual seriously who tries the ol' "Why did God allow this?" game.
