You have hit on a very important question.
Firstly god created all his intelligent creature (angels and humans) perfect, but with free will. This meant that they were not robots, they were all created good, but had the capacity to choose to obey god or disobey him, (he did not create demons as demons, they were angels that rebelled, Satan was originally good but chose to rebel against god).
The reason why there are evil people and 'demons' and why they are allowed to exist at present is explained in the bible.
Initially god created humans to live forever on earth, as long as they remained obedient to him, they would continue living. However, the angel who later became 'satan' because of his actions raised the issue of whether it was better for god to decide right and wrong or for humans to decide for themselves and be independant.
He got the first human pair to rebel against god and thus the issue was raised, instead of just destroying them there and then, god has allowed a period of time (which is almost up) for this issue to be settled.
And so he has allowed evil people and angels to exist for a time, but very soon he will step in to put everything right.
If you would like to know more about how we can say this, please check out the links below, everything is explained from the bible.
Hope that helps.

God did not create Evil. Satan used to be an angel, he was God's best angel but he got wanted to be equal to God and try to overthrow him so he convinced other angels to help him but as you know he failed and God condemned him and send him to Hell where he will live for eternity in agonzing pain, just as those you take advantage of the free will God has given us. Non-believer are one of them, well I am not one to judge only our Father in Heaven is and I will tell you one thing God is real, if you don't choose to believe or prove wrong seek him and you'll see. The bible has a lot of the answers. Satan wants for us to lose the touch we can have with God by influencing us with things we may not realize are evil, temptation is all around you but that is why you have the freedom of chose, pick God-pick Good, pick evil-pick satan, but do know God thru Jesus Christ forgives you of all sins if you repent and accept Jesus Christ as your savior. God Bless you.

God is perfect and without sin. Yes, He did create everything. He could have destroyed evil but for reasons known only to Him, did not. My guess is that God allows evil in the world so that His glory is shown.

He gives everyone free will. We wouldn't want to be robots.
But with free will comes accountability for our actions.
So in due time Satan will be destroyed for the way he acts.
To someone who lives forever this hasn't been a very long time.

Smart thinking.
Like the way you begin with If.
There is either a God or there is not a God
If you accept God doesn't exist then your problems do not exist and you can now get on with the rest of your life worry free.
Cool
Good luck with the rest of your life.

if one believes in an omnipotent supreme being (other than Diana Ross) who icreated everything, then that being must be responsible for creating evil, including any sub-divine beings delegated to overseeing it.
