well god created the angels then satan got all mad, so god created satan.
now satan goes around trying to tempt people and the reason why god doesnt do anything is cuz hes like i meant for this to happen this is a test.

Contrary to what others have said, that is a perfectly legitimate question. There is a pretty good argument that he IS responsible for all our sins:
1) God is all-knowing (xtians would agree to this)
2) God is all-powerful (xtians would agree to this)
If the above statements are true, then god MUST be responsible for our sins: god created satan KNOWING he would rebel and tempt man into sinning. He could have chose not to create him (being all-powerful and everything), but he choose to create him as an angel with full knowledge of everything he would do (or else he would not be all-knowing)
Some may say that god let free will in. That's fine, but if you allow for free will you accept that god CANNOT by definition know what we will choose, and this is not all-knowing.
If people really thought about the beliefs they claim to have they may actually begin to question them. Imagine that!

Yes, God created Satan. No, God did not create sin. Satan nurtured a selfish thought in his heart until it manifested itself. There's no explanation for sin, otherwise there would be an excuse for it. It's called the mystery of iniquity - hard to understand for our finite minds.
There was war in heaven and the evil angels were cast out to this earth and led Adam & Eve to sin. So we are all born with a fallen nature. God wants to chnge our nature/character. He wants to let us back into His presence and the only way we can build character is to have trials.
Now is the time we are judging God - I find His judgment true & good. (Rev 14:7 "the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters")
God doesn't like sin - sin leads to death & He would that all were saved.

You create your own sin, but without sin how are we suppose to learn from our mistakes. So don't go blaming God or anyone else for your sins. I don't believe in Satan and the Christians are the ones who are making these rules God isn't.

Everyone always puts their own problems and accusations onto someone else, trying to find a scapegoat to justify their own means, but if you are well aware of the sins you commit as you are committing them (as your question suggests) then you haven't any right to blame anyone for them but yourself.
It is simple logic.

God's the one who is really keeping the universe rolling!
Do you know why he tests us?
To prepare us for heaven.
He knows weather your going there or to the lake of fire.
Same thing as he knows you will or will not beleive in His son.
He can't help it, He's sovereign.
If you think God is a jerk, try talking to Him first.
Memorize one verse every two days and tell me that your life hasn't changed in a month.
The Bible says our joy and love comes from our SUFFERING!

No, if you sin it is your fault, you are responsible for your actions. When my son was in the first grade he did something wrong and said the devil made him do it, I said the person that did it was going to get punished and since the devil was nowhere to be found, that left him. He got the message.

Depends on your perceptions - how you see things!
Do you see any fault in this universe?
Every thing is performing its job according to a set-patern and never fail to obey the Almighty God.
devil is no problem!!! Mankind is on test.

stop referin to GOD usin such words. that will be blasphemy. as for Him bein responsible for ur sins, NO He's not. u alone can & should be held responsible for them. He's ways are not like ours so stop seein Him in that light. yes He created lucifer but it was in good fate. so if he degenerated to bein satan, it was due to his greed & pride. u are under His belt neva doubt that cos He can take d breadth out of u b4 u even blink. u can start sayin NO to sin if u really want to. just ask HIM for grace to do it successfully. good luck.

It is your fault that you sin! God gave you the ability to think, to choose and to live. It is your choice to be ignorant, and make bad choices, and blame others. You are what you make of yourself!
