So I'm sure you will all agree with me that your God is all knowing, all powerful, he loves us all etc. etc. So with that being said why is there evil in the world? You can say that evil exist in the world because of satan. But let's think about that a little bit more shall we? So who is satan? Satan was an angel just like all the others, except onE day He wanted to be just like god. That was his sin and that's what made him become the first fallen angel. Correct? Ok so now that we know how lucifer became Satan lets go a little further. Like I stated above, it's generally considered that satan is behind all of the evil and negative things that happen in our world. But this isn't true at all. God is the real reason for all of the evil, hate, hurt, and other negative things that happen in our world. Satan was an angel. God created all of the angels including satan. That means god is behind all the evil. I'm sure you would try to argue that since we humans have free will that means that god could have given the angels free will as well. This would be fine except for one thing.... Remember how we agreed on the fact that god is all knowing and all powerful? That means that when god was creating satan he already knew that satan would try to make every human burn in hell. He already knew that satan was going to make all of humanity suffer. So now we know that when god was creating humanity, he did so knowing that he created another being who's entire reason for existing is to make each and every single one of us suffer. To make each and every single one of us hate and hurt. He had full knowledge of what was going to happen to us, yet he let it happen no problem. But isn't he supposed to I've each single one of us? [b][u]EDIT[/u][/b] To all the people in here shouting that free will is the answer to the questions I have asked, here is your answer to free will: God is all knowing he knows exactly what each of is will do in the past, present, and future. It seems like we have free will to us because we can't see into the future. But god can therefore to god our free will is meaningless. The same is said for the angels. Therefore god created satan knowing how much pain he would cause to a creation that god supposedly loves.
