Because God is supposed to be the more powerful of the two, and the one in charge.
He's the boss, he makes the rules. He could restrain Satan if he really wanted to.
Either he doesn't want to, or, more likely, neither god and the devil actually exist.

If god was supposed to have created everything,then surely that includes the devil. Doesn't she deserve some blame for the devil? Apparently not, as even god had to rub out her first few attempts at creating mankind, such as with Noah, and no one seems to blame her for that.

Because they have a very limited understanding of God and the devil of course. If they really understood they would realize that neither God or the devil DO anything to us or for us unless we ask them too. Otherwise its all just suggestion and mind games. Bad things happen, Good things happen, Its all apart of life.

Ignorance! God is Good, but Satan has been allowed to have control of this world as part of the Angelic Conflict. Satan is temporarily being allowed to influance humans for control of their volition to worship either God or Satan. I get sooooo tired of people saying when a "Disaster" occurs; "Why does God allow things like this to happen?". This shows a lack of Bible Doctrine resident in the Soul, which can be corrected simply be studying Scripture!!! That's why we have the Bible to give us examples, good & bad, as to how people before us reacted in different situations when being tested by Satan!!! Probably the most well known example of this is Job in the whole Book of Job! As we are all part of the Angelic Conflict we All will be tested in one fashon or another, but the important thing is not the "Event of Testing", but our Response!!! John

We blame God the same way a CHILD would ask questions when things don't seem fair. The same relation that the Bible talks about. Father/Child relationship there's no escaping what is designed into the world by the Creator.

Well its because of these preachers when something bad happens to someone they say it was God. Or God is angry. or when someone dies they say God needed another angel.
Ignorance like that sparks confusion and tells people that God is the one causing these bad things to happen in your life. When the bible says that he doesn't.
Its a very sad thing that needs to stop

Because the devil gets into trouble with his Mum if people keep blaming him. God on the other hand doesn't have a Mum.
I think.

Perhaps because God created the devil?

So when Joshua and his army, per God's instructions, slaughter "all the inhabitants of Ai", that was the Devil? (Joshua 8-22-26)
Or when God helps the Israelites kill 25,100 Benjamites. That was the Devil? (Judges 20:35)
Those might be some of the reasons...
Cheers

Because he created Satan!!
Hello, why didn't he just take him out?
That free will BS. why would he want us to suffer?
I don't get Christian teachings.
BUT EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR BELIEF!!!
I am one with the Earth cause that makes sense to me for I am an earthling and it's my home.

Again one more time.....God was surrounded with Arch Angels. Lucifer he casted down from the heavens. Samiel descended of his own free will. Then all the Angels fell from grace or descended of their own free will. God bunched all the thousands of Arch Angels as Satan, the devil. So God created evil. God was the one who made the first act of evil. The Fallen Arch Angels did nothing wrong.
