The urge to blame is a human impulse, which has existed from a million years ago. The frenzied finger pointing continues to exist in all aspects and fields even now.

The Bible talks about this blame-game and has an example of finger-pointer in it. When God created Adam and Eve, He had forbidden them to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A serpent, which was God's another creation, tempted Eve who in turn made Adam eat the fruit too. God knew what they had done and then the man blamed the woman for tempting him, and the woman blamed the serpent. They got endless curses as a result.

The politicians are famous for their finger-pointers. After the Hurricane Katrina, the politicians did not miss the opportunity of shifting the blame. The shameless exploitation of the catastrophe for promoting themselves was obvious. They had even gone to the extent of blaming the victims themselves saying that they should have fled their homes not even understanding how the elder people can escape from the storm.

It is funny that traditionally, when catastrophes occurred, the supernatural forces were blamed and people shifted the blame on God
