We make ourselves Bad Religion is only there to keep the "masses" in line, the people of this Planet need "guidance" there Aint no God It's All down to the Individual who needs Leading Because "They "Aint Strong enough to Walk Alone. The " Bible" Is A Tool Used to Keep The People Under Control. In Victorian Times The "Bible" was Interprated To suit The Rich, Hell Fire and Damnation, mainly to keep The "Poor" inline eg Look what you can achieve Blah Blah.

At first it might seem that if God created all things then evil must have been created by God. However, there is an assumption here that needs to be cleared up. Evil is not a "thing" - like a rock or electricity. You can't have a jar of evil! Rather, evil is something that occurs, like running. Evil has no existence of its own - it is really a lack in a good thing. For example, holes are real but they only exist in something else. We call the absence of dirt a hole - but it cannot be separated from the dirt. So when God created, it is true that all that existed was good. One of the good things that God made was creatures who had the freedom to choose good. In order to have a real choice, God had to allow there to be something besides good to choose. So God allowed these free angels and humans to choose good or non-good (evil). When a bad relationship exists between two good things we call that evil, but it does not become a "thing" that required God to create it.
Perhaps a further illustration will help. If I were to ask the average person "does cold exist?" - his/her answer would likely be yes. However, this is incorrect. Cold does not exist. Cold is the absence of heat. Similarly, darkness does not exist. Darkness is the absence of light. Similarly, evil is the absence of good, or better, evil is the absence of God. God did not have to create evil, but rather only allow for the absence of good.
Look at the example of Job in Job chapters 1-2. Satan wanted to destroy Job, and God allowed Satan to do everything but kill Job. God allowed this to happen to prove to Satan that Job was righteous because he loved God, not because God had blessed him so richly. God is sovereign and ultimately in control of everything that happens. Satan cannot do anything unless he has God's "permission." God did not create evil, but He allows evil. If God had not allowed for the possibility of evil, both mankind and angels would be serving God out of obligation, not choice. He did not want “robots” that simply did what He wanted them to do because of their "programming." God allowed for the possibility of evil so that we could genuinely have a free will and choose whether we wanted to serve Him or not.
Ultimately, there is not an answer to these questions that we can fully comprehend. We, as finite human beings, can never fully understand an infinite God (Romans 11:33-34). Sometimes we think we understand why God is doing something, only to find out later that it was for a different purpose than we originally thought. God looks at things from an eternal perspective. We look at things from an earthly perspective. Why did God put man on earth knowing that Adam and Eve would sin and therefore bring evil, death, and suffering on all mankind? Why didn’t He just create us all and leave us in Heaven where we would be perfect and without suffering? The best answer I can come up with is this: God didn’t want a race of robots who did not have a free will. God had to allow the possibility of evil for us to have a true choice of whether to worship God or not. If we never had to suffer and experience evil, would we truly know how wonderful heaven is? God did not create evil, but He allowed it. If He hadn’t allowed evil, we would be worshipping Him out of obligation, not by a choice of our own free will.

God made mankind "very good".
We became "bad" by our own free choice.
The Bible is the true story of God's ongoing restoration of all that original goodness, and more.
He's not done yet.

The bible says that satan made us bad. Satan is just a concept thought up by christianity to scare us into being better people and praying and worshipping a god who will damn us to hell if we don't constantly acknowledge his obviously insecure presence.

--YOU CHOOSE your own badness, it can be a matter of dishonesty , being immoral, being a slanderer, a rapist , pedaphile--it is indeed easy to become evil and unfortunately we are more inclined to the bad.
--An inclination DOES NOT mean we have no control. Please note the choice we have at every interersection of choice:
(James 1:13-15) “13 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. 14 But EACH ONE is tried by being drawn out and enticed by HIS OWN(my caps) desire. 15 Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.”
--To illustrate, someone with Aids, can either decide to be "loving his neighbor as himself"--by refusing to have sex with anybody because of the GREAT chance of infecting their sex partner.
--OR he or she can decide to have all the sex they can lust up--AND infect someone with no concern for their neighbor.
--ON TOP of that he or she knows that they are fully loaded with the virus.
WHO MADE THEM to continue to infect people, GOD!--Hardly!

He didn't make anybody bad! You have choices. You can choose to say ya or nay. It's up to you. You can choose to drink and drive, you can choose to smoke, whatever, but you have to take the consequences and responsibility that goes with it. He doesn't make your choices. You do!

the bible is full of BS, that's why!
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ
Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
