There is no doubt that God is the one responsible for evil. It is written in the Bible itself.
Lamentations 3.38-"Is it not from the mouth of the most high that good an evil come?"
Isaiah 45.6-7 - "I am the Lord and there is no other...I make weal and create woe, I am the Lord, who do all these things." (God)
Here is a quick list of the atrocities God is charged with in a court of logic: demanding and sanctioning human sacrifices (Leviticus 27.28-29; Judges11.29-40), Killing innocent firstborn children (Exodus12.29), Sanctioning slavery (Exodus 21.2-6; Leviticus 25.44-46), sanctioning the selling of one's daughter (Exodus 21.7), death for heresy (Exodus 22.20), death for violating the sabbath (Exodus 31.14-15), death for cursing one's parents (Leviticus 20.9), death for adultery (20.10), death for blasphemy (Leviticus 20.16), and death by stoning for women only who had premarital sex (Deuteronomy22.20-21).
Is God really loving and just? It doesn't seem so to me.
