Why would God create something he knew would turn on him? Did he Mr. Oh-so-wonderful-&-Perfect make a mistake? Why would he create himself to say unto mankind-THER IS ONLY ONE WAY? and yet not be a man and stand up for the evil he created-be strong and stand for the suffering Creation created? Be Loving-and forgive the transgressions of sin? But wait! Perhaps it is the coward that is inside of YOU that refuses to believe in yourself so you FOLLOW a creator that allows these things-Why would sAtAn turn? Did he eat from the tree of knowlwdge and found out The REAL TRUTH-for what is the truth oh GREAT Magnificent God-why would I-a man that represents the love of 2 people-be subjected to this world of WAR-Prejudice-Agony-misery, not that I suffer these things-BUT DAMN YOU for allowing me to witness it! I do not like to see innocence suffer this fate! So I know you exist lord, God-BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOU! I do not believe that you are what you profess to be-WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

That's why you are alive, you have free will to make dumb choices and rant on Him like you do.
Unfortunatly most decided to use their free will to hurt, harm and control others. The adversary was no exception. Do don't try and insult everyone's inteligence by saying those things. Thank Him that you had the chance to do it.

Judging from the apostrophic address of the end of your question, are you expecting the Supreme Being to answer your post on Yahoo Answers? Or is that just a rhetorical flourish? In other words, is this a question for our discussion, or is it your own internal spiritual distress being ventilated? If the latter, perhaps some solutions might be:
(1) psycho-spiritual interventions to heal your spiritual distress
(2) finding a different religious belief system better suited to your existential needs.

You seem extremely upset. That is understandable.
Your parents made love and you were born. Did that mean they knew ahead of time that you would post this on Yahoo Answers? No.
God does not automatically know everything in advance. He has that ability but he uses this ability selectively.
God assures us that he has a set time to call the wicked to account. This we read at Habakkuk 2:3. But how do WE get to be among the survivors when that time comes? Habakkuk 2:4b and Zephaniah 2:3 speak on this as well.
Oh how we long for an end to wickedness. But we have experienced it for a relatively short time when compared with the time that wickedness has actually existed. How must Jehovah himself feel? Think of it: for thousands of years people have blamed him, even cursed him, for all the bad conditions. But it’s not his fault; to the contrary, these things are caused by Satan and by wicked men. Since Jehovah has the power to destroy the wicked, there must be compelling reasons for his having restrained himself thus far! What could those compelling reasons be?
There would be no wickedness if God had not given intelligent creatures with free will. But God did give us that – the capacity to choose to obey him because we love him or to disobey. Notice how Deuteronomy 30:19, 20 and Joshua 24:15 bear this out. We don’t really want it any other way, do we? For those who are parents, which makes us happier—when our children obey us because they love us or when we force them to obey us? God fully intends to do away with all wickedness and wicked people but before He does that, God is giving us the opportunity to demonstrate whether they really want to live in harmony with his righteous laws or not. But that he fully intends to end wickedness is clearly seen from 2 Thessalonians 1:9, 10.
Well, why is he taking so long? Some people feel that the length of time shows He is doing absolutely nothing. Not so. Vital issues are involved: (1) The righteousness and rightfulness of Jehovah’s rule was challenged in Eden; (Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:1-5) and (2) the integrity of all of God’s servants in heaven and on earth was called into question. Satan charged that we only worship God for what we can get out of it. Notice that at Job 1:6-11; 2:1-5. And, according to Luke 22:31, things have not changed. Satan has demanded to have the faithful to sift us as wheat!
Now God could have destroyed the rebels (Satan, Adam, and Eve) immediately, but that would not have settled matters. The issues raised were moral ones. God allows time and this allowance permits all intelligent creatures with free will (angels included) to see for themselves the terrible results of rebelling against his rulership, while at the same time giving us the opportunity to demonstrate where we personally stand on these vital matters. Once these issues are settled, God will never again allow anyone to disrupt the peace and harmony that will exist in the universe.
We might illustrate it this way: suppose somebody in the neighborhood charged that you abused your position as head of the family, that your kids would be better off if they made their own decisions without you, and that the only reason your kids obeyed you in the first place is, not because they loved you but because of all the material benefits you provided. What’s the best way to settle the matter? How about blowing his brains out? Well that would show some power on your part but that doesn’t do anything to respond to the false charges. How about this? Give your kids opportunity to be your witnesses to show that you are a just and loving father and that they live with you because they love you! Now if some of your kids believed your enemy, left home, and ruined their lives, that would only make it obvious to sincere observers that the kids would have been better off if they had listened to you instead of your enemy, yes?
That is what our loving heavenly father is doing with us – his children. In truth, we have benefited by God’s permission of wickedness till now. Had he destroyed the wicked twenty, thirty, seventy, two hundred years ago, how many of us would have ever existed? At 2 Peter 3:9, we read: “Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” So, since he has been patient right down to today, we have the opportunity to demonstrate where we are on the side of this universal issue.

Did your parents know what you would be when they made love and you was born? Did they have any idea you would say such careless things towards God?

Your misconception is that God is only good things, when God is ALL things. When you understand this, you will not be angry with God any more.
