Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.
Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.
Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

Absolutely normal, not psychotic behavior
God didn't create evil. People did.
God created everything means god created evil.
People creating evil means your all powerful god was powerless to stop evil or uncaring to stop evil which is evil in itself.
Oh He is powerful and He will stop evil.
He gave us free will. Darkness is the absence of light.
Does good create all life in your opinion?
Yes. That life has free will and is accountable for it's actions.
God did explicitly create evil.
The fruit of the tree was the fruit of the "knowledge" of good and evil, not the "seed" of good and evil.
But he probably created evil so that there could be good, the same way he created darkness so that there could be light, the way he divided the waters from the land and the earth from the sky.
"Author" is probably the better term. The fact of the matter is, the evil on this earth isn't God's doing. It's man. Yes, God gave us free will, but that makes US accountable, not Him.
