God doesn't make mistakes, so Lucifer's influence on Eve had to be intentional and everything which followed. For man was a creation of God, and God does not make mistakes. To say that we created the mistake is to say, God created a mistake. The cycle is endless, but none of God's actions ever proves God is good nor that God is love.

You let me know when you get any Christian to realize any of this.
God is nothing but hate and cruelty. Why would anyone follow that? It's just sick!

Lucifer's people that have made mistakes .

God is a god of love and goodness. He is also a God of judgement. You don't know Him, b/c if you did, you would know the answer to your questions. Satan chose to rebel against God and he was cast out of heaven. Satan hates all that God loves and He loves us. Adam & Eve knew what God told them about what they could & could not eat in the Garden of Eden. They chose to disobey God, and that is called sin.
Hell is a place created for Satan & those angelical beings that followed him. If any human being goes to hell, it is a choice they make. God does not send anyone to hell. Just like a parent, you teach your child right from wrong, and then you let them make their own choices. It's called free will. God does not make anyone receive the free gift of salvation He has made available through Christ Jesus. Everyone is a sinner, yet if you refuse Christ, it's your choice. Most people don't like to be told that it's their choice if they go to hell. They'd rather blamed God for EVERYTHING than to take responsibility for themselves.

I don't believe there were actually 2 people named Adam & Eve who ran around a garden and got tricked by a serpent. I don't call anything that God made a 'mistake'. If he made it, there was a reason, and I don't deign to know God's reason. There is nothing that disproves that God is good, or that God is love.
Edited to add: not everyone believes that Hell is a physical place with fire and brimstone and a red man with cloven hooves and a pitchfork poking people. To me, Hell would be the condition of being away from God's presence. You seem to be there already. I don't blame God for that. If you don't feel a connection with God it's not He who turned away - it's you. I pray you find the happiness and peace that you're looking for.

Hell was created, because of Lucifer. Lucifer wanted to be God, and He started a rebellion against God, and then when the world was created He tempted Eve into a life of sin. God was angered and He created Hell, because that is where He plans to put Satan for eternity when the time comes.

I would say that God is not made of love and goodness. God is God and although He is full of love, kindness, and mercy, He is also just and holy. I believe there is evil in this world because God desires relationships, not robots. He has the power to make every thing in creation do the right thing all the time and yet He doesn't. Just as it would be ridiculous for you to demand that your fiance choose to love you, it is ridiculous to assume you could have a loving relationship with God without the ability to choose to love Him. And with the choice to love comes the choice to reject. God does not desire there to be darkness and evil in our world but He chooses to allow it so that people can choose to love Him and have a relationship with Him. He created you to be in relationship with you- not to control your choices for you. And there will come a day where every knee will bow and there will be a separation of evil and holiness- which side will you choose?

You are perfectly correct in your assumption that the notion of a perfectly loving God contradicts the notion of a Hell in which people will suffer an eternal damnation.
Solution: Get over the notion of God as presented in the Torah, Bible and Koran, and start searching for the Truth.

There is a hell for Lucifer, his demonic angels and his followers. He created Lucifer before He ever created mankind. He knew exactly what He was doing, because God wants a people that will follow Him because they want to not because that is the only way. He wanted a people that could choose. Mankind has just that capability, to choose or not to.

hell was created for the evil ones....
2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; 5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.[c] 10This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature[d] and despise authority.
We all have free will --- we can decide who or what we serve.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Hell was created for the devil (Lucifer) and his demons... God never intend it for people... but God also created us with a choice... so when sin came into the world those who do not except Jesus. or turned there back on God, go to hell
And yes it breaks Gods heart!

Dude, you either want free will or you don't. If you want it, you can't blaim God for man's mistakes. Remember, He was about to toss us all out and Jesus was like, "wait, I think they just need more time," then God's all, "okay, one more chance but then it's armagedon time for these suckers." So Jesus has a lot riding on us. He's like, "man, these fools better not make me look bad." He's a lot like a teacher under pressure to bring up test scores. You have to motivate them with sticks and carrots to prepare, but you can't take the test for them.
