Actually he was one of the highest of angels and he thought so much of himself he though he was god and fell from Gods grace because of it.

Before u blame God anymore, u should read Ezekiel 28 13"You were in (M)Eden, the garden of God;
(N)Every precious stone was your covering:
The (O)ruby, the topaz and the diamond;
The beryl, the onyx and the jasper;
The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald;
And the gold, the workmanship of your (P)settings and sockets,
Was in you.
On the day that you were created
They were prepared.
14"You were the (Q)anointed cherub who covers,
And I placed you there
You were on the holy (R)mountain of God;
You walked in the midst of the (S)stones of fire.
15"You were (T)blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until (U)unrighteousness was found in you.
16"By the (V)abundance of your trade
You were internally (W)filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
17"Your heart was lifted up because of your (X)beauty;
You (Y)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor
I cast you to the ground;
I put you before (Z)kings,
That they may see you.
18"By the multitude of your iniquities,
In the unrighteousness of your trade
You profaned your sanctuaries.
Therefore I have brought (AA)fire from the midst of you;
It has consumed you,
And I have turned you to (AB)ashes on the earth
In the eyes of all who see you.
19"All who know you among the peoples
Are appalled at you;
You have become (AC)terrified
And you will cease to be (AD)forever."'"
Free will is a gift of God, but when it's abused, people have no right to blame the Creator. Satan doesn't care about people, but Jehovah gave his son so that we have a chance at redemption. JUst something to think about.
edit, yes, this prophecy is referring to the King of Tyre, which was a famous island city made rich from selling a special purple dye. However, in the Bible , many prophecies can describe more than one event. In this case, God is comparing Satan to the King of Tyre, cause nobody else was in Eden besides adam and eve.

Satan was a created angel. In fact he was the most spectacular being God created. He was in the presence of God and still thought that he was better and more worthy of being worshiped. His pride and arrogance are what caused him to be cast out of heaven. He has freewill and chose to rebel.

Actually I would like to challenge anybody to find a place that describes Satan's rebellion. Yes he was Gods brightest and the pride mentioned by the Bible is Gods pride in his most faithful servant. Yes you have the paradox of Lucifer right.
Ezekiel 28:11 is a passage about the King of Tyrus, a Babylonian King, not Satan. although the allusion is there, like people calling Saddam a Hitler.

I think: God did not create the evil because God will not create what He hates. Would you do something you hate? The devil created himself. When you do something evil you become evil yourself.

Well, according to Christianity, all knowing God created Lucifer, who fell and became evil. Sort of a major theological problemo, ain't it?! God creating evil?! Hmmm!

Turn caps lock off, and use apostrophes correctly or not at all.
People created the devil, as a threat for behaviour they considered undesirable.
