If a programmer writes a computer programme and it has errors, then the programmer is responsible... Human beings are amasing lifeforms, a new born baby has no concept of good or evil. The awareness of good and evil is indoctrinated by religious teachings...

You forget the fall that corrupted all.
No "freewill" answer here.

Why did God not create a world so perfect that no evil could exist in it? With infinite power God could always create something better. But with infinite wisdom, God freely willed to create a world in a "state of journeying" toward its ultimate perfection. Angels and human beings, as intelligent and free creatures have to journey toward their ultimate destinies by their free choice and preferential love. They can therefore go astray. Indeed, they have sinned. As a result, moral evil entered the world. God is in no way, directly or indirectly, the cause of moral evil. He permits it, however, because he respects the freedom of his creatures and, mysteriously, knows how to derive good from it.

Actually the first humans were perfect, and then made themselves imperfect by sinning, all their descendants inherited their imperfections.
A new-born baby has no concept of anything other than bundle of pre-programmed responses for a while. A baby is utterly self-centred, if its wants aren't met it will cry, because it soon learns that crying will usually get a response from its parents to fulfil its desires.
An awareness of right and wrong is provided by a child's parents, the child quickly learns what kind of behaviour is unacceptable, and needs little incentive to misbehave. Religious definitions of good and evil, come later or not at all.

When a baby comes out, he she already comes out wanting and needing and taking no matter what the cost. I'm not saying that kids are evil but simple a demonstration. Second, no body has to tell you that killing is bad. Even when you see a person suffer you feel it. The simple truth of God can be felt. It's not a thinking law, but a felt one.
God loves us so much that even though he knows we screw up time after time, there are those few who will excel and live according to his will. When that happens you can spend the rest of your eternity blaming God when all you have to do is look at your everyday. How many times did you not lie, cheat, lust, desired all to end the day the same--empty. We are so great at seeing others mistakes and pointing them out, but when someone does it to us....whoah@@@

Human beings are Perfect Beings - The problem is Choice!
Generally...
We choose to create medicines like Thalidomide,
We choose to be greedy,
We choose to make the hydrogen bomb,
we choose to kill each other for Gold, Diamonds, and other shiny worthless junk,
we choose to murder each other for OIL,
We choose to binge drink, Smoke, take drugs, etc...
We are machines (Organic), and we all start life with a basic programme, that can, unfortunatly, be manipulated by other machines (Corrupted Human Programmes)...

Only God is perfect. And your right humans are not born sinners, look how easily you have disproved this theory. Just goes to show how silly this concept is. Humans are born pure and sinless and, their journey through their life on earth determines their personality.

Good and bad are concepts arising from ego, which literally means narrow, limited. Practical life needs contrast for appreciating the good. Virtue becomes meaningful only when evil or sin is present. Light becomes important only in darkness. Perfection becomes meaningful only when imperfection is present.
My concept of God is quite different from your concept and so I will not comment on that part of your question.

God gave you a free-will and a spirit. You are not a program, nor a machine. You are a free-will agent who's father and original father were sinners that passed on a corrupted nature.
Choose to turn to him, and violate the defective protocol while you can.

Pretty much.
"Free will" - how can that even exist? Doesn't God program us - he knows exactly what choices we will make. He made our dispositions. He made our inclinations. How can we truly have free will? It's like starving a man, then putting food in front of him - sure, he *could* make a different choice, but the situation's been set up so that he *will* only make *one* choice - for us, that situation is in our head.
Of course, I'm just an agnostic.

Oh my Lord!
who told you that human born sinner?!
I believe in God but my God(i.e Allah) is the perfect and his creations is perfect but not like His perfection.
All Muslims believe that God creates everyone without any sins and bad behavior.

Yes, unless the baby has Aspergers Syndrome in which case they are free from evil and can only do good. As God is AS he is perfect but he has made a grave mistake in creating non AS people. Non AS people are evil and will try to take over the world. Like pinky and the brain....
