Lucifer. Know that name? It means Morning Star. He was the arch-angel of arch-angels; the most beautiful, the most wise, the one closest to God. He experienced the most intimate and deep things of God. He was created to lead the angels in worship, in adoration of God - he knew God intimately.
What did he become? Satan. That is his name today. How did it happen? Did God create him to be evil? Definitely not. He chose to rebel against God. He took pride in his beauty, wisdom and power and wanted to build his own kingdom. He chose to use the awesome gifts and abilities God created him with, to sweep up a third of heaven's angels in rebellion against God.
It lies in choice. Always. Twin brothers grew up in a broken home. Dad was in jail, mom an alcoholic that didn't care. The one brother became successful and happy, the other followed his father's footsteps into the criminal world. Both born and grown in the exact same environment. You know what they replied to an old friend of both, when he asked them what happened? The successful, happy brother said "...those circumstances... I had to get out of it..." the jailed brother said "... I couldn't get out of the circumstances, its just how things went..."
Both these are true stories, both reveal that no matter whether you're in the best or the worst circumstances, its what you do with what you have that determines your destiny. You can miss your purpose by your choices, or you can realize it through your choices.
God doen't make people to go to war or to kill.
Your destiny is by choice, your purpose by creation... e.g. a scalpel was created to heal, but it can also be used to kill.
But only God can give u the right answer to your q so ask him to help you get your answer

You'll notice in the Bible that in the Old Testament, it portrays God as a very violent God who encourages war. In the New Testament, He is portrayed as a loving God. You will notice that God's temperment changes with His people's needs. In pre-Jesus times, war was abundant, so God encouraged what humans seemed to need. As the world settled down, so did God, becoming a more peace loving God.

If god is responsible for creation,he is also the destroyer.
There is a cause and effect for every event. The cause and effect are ruled by the laws of the universe and god is the creator of these rules. It is he who is letting these things happen for his own reasons which do not understand.

Since god only exists in a persons' mind, whatever that person wants god's view to be is what they will tell you his view is.

He hates it for he hates hatred among humans, but he loves justice. Wars and killing exist because evil exits. There is only one God.

God must like wars and killing because God made it easy for people to fight and die over God. How unGodly of God.

Not His view, this is His main task to keep a balance in good and bad..

I would say that he was more of an absentee landlord based on what's going on in the world today.... but.... because he doesn't exist I would say try to concentrate on more important things!!
