Why do we always blame God for the evil in the world...
It's like our own stupidity and fault as a race is his fault; well get this, if you go back to Adam and Eve, yeah, free will. We kinda screwed up a little bit there.
And he could've stopped Lucifer? Well here's my stance on it. Why? If God is a perfect entity, and so are the angels, then he must of made Lucifer destined to fall, so that there could be some evil in the universe. If there wasn't an evil presence in the universe, then how could there be choice? Because choice takes a good, and a bad option (and a few more options are always nice).
Put simply, God created Satan so we could have choice (good and evil presences), because he didn't want us to be mindless zombies who couldn't do anything on out own. Once we had choice, we instantly set about screwing up, and just look at us now in all of our shiny God-blameing glory. It's like a child breaking a pot, and then blaming the potter for not makeing the pot stronger.
