No. Screw you. God forgives, but there are always consequences down here on Earth.

Yes, Satan has authority here but that doesn't eliminate God's expectations of governments. Romans 13 talks on this. "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:" Those verses are predicated on the fact that the "rulers are not a terror to good works" so we see that the governments are expected to behave a certain way as well. Just because they don't behave well doesn't mean that the authority is no longer ordained of God, it just means that the authority is not using their power appropriately. A good example of this in scripture is King Saul who was chosen of God but chose the wrong path and so God chose David to replace him but even though David knew that he was anointed for the throne he specifically refused to kill Saul on multiple occasions because Saul was God's anointed. The natural devolution of Saul's wicked state led him to an early death and David took the throne.
And what do you mean "blame our Heavenly Father"? I didn't blame him for anything. You think I'm blaming God for the way our governments behave? I don't know how you would read that from what I wrote.
