I mean what would "creation" have been like if God didn't create the Devil? I mean obviously an all knowing god knew the outcome, he even knows that he will win in the end(See Revelations) But was he just really bored and wanted a nemesis? Can anyone explain the logic?
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things
Isaiah 45:7

The only explanation is that crap isnt real... God all knowing all powerful all time couldnt do it right in the first place. And he is going to send billions of souls to hell that dont believe his son was HIM! When he screwed it all up in the first place.
Christians are fairly looney to believe in this

This sounds like proof of predestination. The NIV uses the word "disaster" instead of "evil". Evil comes from sin. God doesn't create sin, humans do.
So God can't create evil, IMO. But God uses disaster and conquest throughout the Bible to further his will. Don't you agree?

He did not mean for any of these to happen! Our free will changed the course of life. We thought we did not need God to continue our lives. As you can see, the world is falling apart without Him. But do not worry, He has not changed His mind. God is making everything new once again, and you will have the opportunity to enjoy that peaceful world, forever.

"What would "God" have if he didn't create the Devil or Evil?" - Go with plan B - I guess. To horrible to think about.

God created Lucifer, the bearer of light with free will. Lucifer had free will and chose to rebel and became Satan, the accuser.
Free will and predestination is a paradox. Please understand that a paradox is not a contradiction and all verses need to be understood in their context.

Satan , chose to rebel, and wanted to have glory for himself. Much like a thief isnt "created" He makes himself one.

Well he certainly wouldn't have a church. Satan keeps the churches in business you see.
