I didn't 'blame God of lying'. I stated that according to you, he lied. 'Blame' is completely the wrong word here.

Uhm no! You said so.
You essentially did say it. Not in those words, but you did say it, and you hav ...[text shortened]... n. So yes, if what you claim is true, then blame is in order. Luckily, what you say is not true.[/b]
My original post was "Correction, a lot of people suffer, irrespective of religion!" and your reply was "Interestingly God lied to you as you clearly admit now that despite widespread suffering the majority of people do not get closer to your God.".
That is very far from what I've "essentially so called" said.
The original post is clear on this "Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.".
I did however state multiple times "that the majority of people go through suffering themselves, cause they chose do so". So I want to say YES that IF you do not know or believe in God, your suffering will not get you closer to God cause He obviously doesn't exist to you.
The reason for suffering is never pointless (if you are a child of God), its to bring you closer to Him and I am standing on this point now.
