Anger at God
Al Today:
Hello zyad.
You stated:
--- Quote ---I believe that what ever happen to us, either good or bad is from Allah(God).
[...]
Here are 3 verses that explain this in the Quran bearing in mind that this is not a preaching message.

I am not so sure. Methinks there may indeed be some information discerned from religious texts of ALL organized religions. And, I cannot help but notice that you only refer to that one where appearances are you have great emotional investment.
I wonder... Have you performed any research within this forum on the topics of organized religions? If you have, I again wonder why speak of one face of god. I am curious as to what you think of the possible actual roots of those written texts? Have you noticed how many stories in that one book you reference are also conceptually contained within texts of other religions?
So again:

I wonder if you are lying to yourself or to us.?.?.?

I agree with Zyad that those laughable excepts from the Quran are juvenile preemptive manipulations for the sleeping masses: "If something good happens to you, thank me, and if something bad happens to you, well blame yourself!".
The monotheistic religions like Judaism and Islam had made the notion of God so anthropomorphic and so terrestrial that from their own point of view they may be viewed as idolatry.

The same people who are indoctrinated with the God concept are also generally indoctrinated with the Satan or Devil concept, right? So where is anger at the devil? Is it because people believe the Devil is down-on-Earth-and in-your-face and therefore too scary to challenge, while God is way-up-there?
Yeah, I know, the study didn't ask those questions...
Interesting that the supposed 'good guy' always catches the flak.

Many of us that were indoctrinated into religion were told that God would save and protect us from evil. When bad things would happen we would feel like God was not watching over us as promised. At least this is what I have concluded in my experience with religion.

Even those who didn't believe in God were sometimes angry at the deity.

I was brought up an Atheist, but was only 10, when I firmly, told God that in case he existed he was a BAD god!
Bar Kochba:
At one point in my life, I was very angry at God. But then I eventually learned about, and took, accountability.
