Hmm... strange and interesting! Sorry, but the question arises immediately: Did God forget to create ´evil´ or did he simply leave it to humans to create? Maybe he simply thought that creating ´evil´ cannot be his business but human´s? Or maybe he got too tired by creating almost everything and when it came to creating ´evil´, he said: ´Evil, eh? I don´t care!´
And what was the sin of ´evil´, in order not to be created by God? 
Well, my answer is simple. Evil was not created. Evil emerges automatically when or where theres no God. The lack or absence of God equals to evil.
When the angel said to himself I dont need God, I am God to myself, he automatically turned into evil. This is how evil came into existence.
Humans when they wanted to become like God they automatically turned into evil.
Its like with darkness and light. Darkeness doesnt exist. Darkness is the lack of light.
Is this enough? or should I work hard?

Isnt it interesting or a paradox even that those who claim to be atheists seem to speak about God and even quote the texts they dont believe of?

Another question arises: Why did and still does and probably will God let ´evil´ automatically emerge (no matter from what, how, when and in which forms)?

Now this is called freedom. You are free to choose any of the options. Theres no middle. It is only black and white. (if you think of other colors, you deluded).
He created all good and free. Even in your life He gives you freedom. You can choose Him or reject Him.
He didnt create bio-robots or zombies. He created humans with full rights to choose - free will.

Oh, thank you for pulling me down to earth. I thought I was God. Barba, why are you so unrealistic, untrue, and artificial? You behave like a teenager. You explain things to me that I´ve known for years. I´ve studied Bible in many ways. I have it even in Greek (konkordancja) to compare with KJV and Tysiaclatka in Polish. My husband completed two years of Biblical seminary. We both can read and write Greek. Bible is a daily bread to me. I wonder where do get your arrogance.
If you want to know the truth. Your payment is death. My payment is death. If you dont believe me, open the Bible and read it. Read the whole New Testament. You will be shocked that you are heading straight to hell together with other billions of people. Who said so? Bible said so.
God is holy and is not even a bit tolerant.If God was all loving and tolerant would He send His one and beloved Son to death on a cross? If God was merciful would there be hell and punishment? Read the whole Old Testament and tell me then if you still see God in pink tinted glasses?
I warn you. I said what I said. It is your business. You can ignore me and continue your wonderful life.You are definitely a better person than me.
Being optimistic about the meaning of life doesn´t make me a teenager. It just makes me a positive person, who doesn´t think life is all about being a grouch.
Being merciful is not ruled out by having punishment. They CAN go together, you know. Punish those who show no remorse, be merciful to those who regret their bad actions and seek forgiveness.
And what exactly are you warning me for? For death? Since when is death a bad thing. You can´t warn me for hell, since you don´t know anything about me, and as we both agree, you are not God. And according to the Christian believes, only God can judge, not you.

Barba, when you say that lemon is not God, makes you a teenager.
Since when death is good?
I warn everyone. I warn you because you are definitely heading to hell despite your positive attitude to everything. Im telling you God is not a daddy or a fella. He is holy and just. He will send my family and friends to hell if they dont repent and start living with God. Do I like it? No. Truth doesnt have to be something you like or enjoy.
You cant make God fit your box of ideas. He is sovereign.
He flooded the earth together with men, women and children. He burnt Sodoma and Gomorah completely together with men, women and children - where do you see mercy? He led Jews in desert for 40 years - He was not merciful to them. He didnt let Moses enter the promised land, because of the punishment.
And you know nothing about so called christian beliefs, nothing.

1) lemon IS not God... should I say that lemon is God to make myself look like an adult?
2) Death is good if you go to heaven.
3) Only God can judge. What exactly do you know about my life, that you are so sure I´m going to hell? You seem to be very keen condemming people you don´t even know. You are so sure I don´t know anything about the bible, well... looky here:
"The Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, "The Lord! The Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth…" (Exodus 34:6)
"Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful." (Luke 6:36)
"For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath."(Deuteronomy 4:31)
Hm, interesting. Does this say the Father (aka GOD) is merciful? It´s pretty literal. Are you saying there are lies in the Bible, lemon?
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7)
"For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging." (James 2:13)
Wow... If I were you lemon, I would be worried!
