Question: God did not create evil!?
People like to pull the question,
"God created everything!. there is evil!. god created evil"
First of all there is no such thing as evil!. evil is nothing but your perception of something!. for example just because you think the color black is bad doesn't make it bad!. you may think something is evil becasue of what you've been taught but that doesn't mean that its true!. evil, as well as good, is all a matter of perception!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
god may have been the precursor of evil BUT who created god!?

but that's not the point!.!.!.

!.!.!.good and evil maintains the universal balance in everything and that's exactly why there is an equilibrium which is the focal point of every thoughts, every decisions!.!.!. everything! now!.!.!. which side to take is a decision made by every individual mind!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"God", atleast the ridiculous version of him/her that humans have concocted, did not create s***!. If you actually think about it, if we really do have an "all-powerful" God, he puts people in circumstances that make them evil , and then condemns them for being evil!. Honestly, the fear of death makes people come up with the most farfetched ideas!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the devil was gods top angel his name was lucifer!.he bacame jealous of god and god casted him to earth!.I think god knew that he would cause evil!.God made good and evil so there could be a balance and so we could have choices here on earth!.think if god wouldnt have casted him away the world would be all good and everyone would no nothing but good!.there would b no choices and everyone would come to heavenWww@QuestionHome@Com

Sure, 'evil' is generally subjective!. Most things can only be put on a scale of how 'bad' or 'good' they are!.
But what about situations such as rape and murder!? These can't ever be labelled as having any good at all!.!.!.so does this make it 'evil'!?
Anyway, if God was omnipotent, wouldn't He have created good without bad!? If you say that God gave us freedom to decide what's good and bad, God is omnipotent - he would have been able show us bad without creating it!.
Perhaps you should re-question the existence of God then!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes i do think the same!!!

You know this coincides with our emotions too!
You know cold and hot do not seem same but feel differently !!!
It's because we are taught so!!If we perceive everything in a same way life would be intersting morethan what we believe in as life!!!!

You know i never classify people as good and bad!!
what for this is done!!
It's all about character which is not inbuilt!.
Why should we avoid a person because he or she is cunning ,we must understand the fact that it's all because she is unable to mingle with us why don't we change her!!!

Coming to your interpretation,it's 100% true but not many of them get convinced with this!!

But evil lies with what i said earlier as ,where people are classified so!!

Sometimes hot sun looks so evil and devilish!!!
at the sametime we look upon shoering clouds as devilish even!!!!!!!!

HOW FUNNY!!!!
but who can change this this is the perception ever living in human hearts & they won't evacuate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is such thing as "evil"!. If a guy goes around raping and murdering young children that is evil!. If an animal kills another animal that is survival!. the dead animal might not like this but it doesn't think it's evil!. Or maybe it does!. Who knows!?
But the raping murdering guy is evil!. He doesn't do it to survive or to protect his territory or something like that!. He does it for self gratification!.
I think God created evil in order to give us something to fight against!. People might think this is a ittle screwy but imagine how life would be without bad things!?
Completely boring!. People have the potential to be evil but the good ones resist that!. They are the ones who end up in Heaven!.
Of course I might have it all wrong!. After all who knows what God is/was/will think/do!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe, God created evil for us to understand and value 'good' in a more authentic and pronounced manner!.!.!.!.!.in any case, I would hate to live in a world full of good and void of evil!.!.!. it would be so monotonous and single-dimensional that living would perhaps seem like merely being!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

God gives everyone a free will if you choose to do evil then they do evil is that Gods fault!? NOPE it was the guys fault its like if a teacher gives a person a test and i get some answers wrong who made the mistake!? me or the teacher!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

There absolutely is evil!. If God created everything, I guess he created evil!. But one thing is for sure, the greater the evil, the GREATER THE GOOD!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Man created evil!. Before us, there was no good or evil!. Read Carl Jung if you're open-minded!. Undoubtedly, we were "God's" mistake!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Great thoughts my friend !

well , you said there is no evil but my friend then what about all the bad habbits, criminal activities, wrong thoughts, and all those things that hurt humans !!

Its undoubtedly very true that God has created everything, everything that human enjoys is a gift of God!.

All the things I have discussed above are on just the opposite side of what God has gifted to his men!.

Again thats a big fact that as much as the person starts attracting towards all those things, the distance between him and god keeps increasing!.
The person who is God Fearing, will never do anything that is against human benifits!. He will never follow a path that would give trouble to his fellow men or lead to any undesirable act!.

Bad habbits keeps on taking an individual away from God, he merely understands the fact of life, the essence of humanity, and the fragrance of love, emotion gets wiped off from his life!.

God always care his men and blesses him to return on the right path but its that man who do not understand it and keeps on entering in the activities that everyone calls evil!.!.!.

ITS GOD WHO GIVES, GIVES AND FORGIVES!.!.!.
!.!.!. BUT MAN IS WHAT WHO GETS, GETS AND FORGETS!.!.!.

Thats the essence as well as significance of faith, trust and goodness!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
