This is where christians fall very silent. You see they'll tell you that god created all but then when you question them on the devil/evil they'll say that they were a fallen angel who chose evil. However, if god did in fact create everything there could have been no choice for evil if that choice wasn't created (go ahead and try to chose something that doesn't exist...not possible). So in order for there to be a god who created everything he had to have created evil and if this is so then evil is 'of god'. Therefore, when one choses evil he is also chosing a tenant of god. Christians get very heated when discussing this. They'll through a bunch of scripture quotes at you but can never answer this main question without falling back on a tautology. Be smart be an athesist.

I don't think God created evil. Evil was created on earth when Evie and Adam decided not to do what God asked them to do....NOT eat the apple. God gives us choices, and free will. And I believe he has already given us the key to overcoming evil in the world, but it is very counter-intuitive, so many don't recognize it. The key is to accept Jesus as the Son of God and follow his example of love and self-sacrifice. In practical ways, it might mean volunteering at the soup kitchen, or starting a soup kitchen....or helping the little girl or boy next door learn his math homework,...or making peace between two neighbors who have been fighting...or investing your extra money in a job-creating enterprise, or giving/loaning money interest-free to worthwhile projects. Evil is stopped one step at a time, and each of us has the ability to take the first step.
Hoping the best for you...

God did not create evil but he gave us free will so that we could decide for ourselves whether to be evil or good! At some point and time God will stop evil-when he decides to!.

Some of the people on here....Yikes! If you create something from the purest form of love, you create it with free will. Good will ultimately win out over evil. God stops evil through the unconditional love he gives YOU.

God created everything..this is the why i look at it because i saw a painting in the mall that clarified everything for me....think of it this was....God and Satan are sitting at a chess game and the good pawns are God and evil pawns are Satan. Satan is trying to take as many good pawns and leave as many evil pawns on the board that he can....he wants the whole board evil......may the best side win

When God created Adam and Eve, He gave them the freedom to choose between right and wrong (Read Genesis it's the first book in the Bible). God loves you. He wants you to love Him. You can't love someone by force. Love is a gift - a choice. He doesn't force you to love Him; He gives you the choice to do so. Evil is a result of our own choices. I encourage you to read the bible and pray for more understanding. God wants you to know the Truth.

nicely first of all God did no longer create evil we led to evil, its comparable to inflicting a wound on your arm, you are able to no longer create it it extremely is not obtainable, yet you are able to hit it against something and reason a wound to ensue. Secondly the way you define terrible and how God defines terrible is thoroughly diverse, God made each soul and so He has the spectacular to hold each soul to blame every time He needs, he's a loving God, yet he's likewise a merely God, for all you recognize a number of those people might have long previous to heaven, to a lots greater effective place, it is so terrible to us via fact we continually prefer to be egocentric, we unfastened somebody so we blame God for taking them away, what if God have been given ill of staring at a individual enduring crap from the folk around them so He desperate to hold that individual to Him, the only dying God is conscious is the dying of hell, and that dying is avoidable. whilst God made the universe He made it in this variety of way that each thing has an equivalent hazard to outlive, God no longer continually reasons those failures, despite the fact that if that's against His nature to intrude with it except He sees that it's going to no longer intrude with our unfastened will. interior the crewtape letters by way of CS lewis Screwtape calls God the Irresistable and the Undisputable. God located all the gears and clockwork into the universe and set it on its way yet no longer with the point for it to wreck our lives. Now variety God's factor of veiw i ask a query, Does the writer no longer have a top wreck His advent, does He no longer have the spectacular to wreck people who curse Him considering He made ever particle of their physique and gave them a soul, does a Lawgiver no longer have the spectacular to call forth and carry to blame people who broke His regulation, does no longer the writer have a top to declare possession over each thing He has created? the fundamental and spectacular answer is particular. interior the top we can by no skill come to truly comprehend God's appropriate love, expertise and judgement, we can basically have faith it and supply via Him for each condition, pertaining to to each condition and in each condition.

Unfortunately within the constraints of this forum your only likely to encounter drive-bys from from angry athiests and others who may just poke a stick at it when really it is a subject deserving much more in depth reading.
Here is a good starting point:

He allows certain evil to exists because that evil eventually leads us to him.
