Wow... You don’t realize that your view is simply by definition right? God is the greatest thing EVER... By definition. I’m not saying I can disprove God, or even that I don’t believe in God. But you must understand that when atheists and agnostics take God and the Devil out of the equation (hypothetically, of course and for the purpose of experiment) the only person to blame for one’s actions is oneself!

Aw, heck, plenty of people blame their mommy, or not getting that big break, or bad luck, or that guy that did something wrong to them at a critical moment, it's an infinite list. Without God, it's a more deterministic universe; you can concieve of man as a mixture of genes and environment, reacting only. His brain chemistry dictates who he is. Throw in the spirit, things understood not through physical or material means, and WHAM! You have free will. No clockwork mechanisms and inputs and outputs define you. Add a God who is also free to act outside of physical determinism and who you can have a relationship with and the world is a magical place where things happen, and these things have meaning and consequence.
