Blame implies a sense of moral culpability.

While God is responsible, God is not morally culpable for a wrong-doing, because the event is not wrong. Surely with respect to us a murderer killing 10 people is wrong, but with respect to God, all things are intended for the good of those who love him, and it is not wrong for God to cause the taking of a life of people who are guilty before Him, nor is it wrong to call His Saints home.

The problem I have with skeptics is their own sense of morality is the standard by which they judge everyone else, including God, and then they find everyone but themselves left wanting. Basically, they're irrational in applying a subjective standard of morality to an objective being that transcends their standard.

It's like trying to measure the width of the ocean with a measuring cup. *The absurdity of the analogy is meant to show the absurdity of their practice.*
