Of course there is always someone to blame, unfortunately it mostly gets directed at the "sinning nature of humanity.

People will always see what they choose to see. If they want to see doom and gloom and evil within the world, they will see it. If they want to see happiness, and joy, and good in the world, they will see it.

People also like to only see what is right before them. The small picture. For instance it's easy to blame God for the world being like this, did he not see it? But what about seeing the world become a better place, and allowed the world to continue, much like a parent would with a child that acts up. Allowing them to correct themselves and better themselves in time.
