I personally believe there are multiple gods or higher powers out there, and for whatever reason, some of these beings thought putting evil around was a funny idea.
If there is one god and it made all this intentional, then our god is half evil and half good. This is coming from a former Christian

I agree. this sounds like Gnosticism. You should research it. They believe this physical universe was created by a lower level god and not the highest one. They believe our flesh came from the lower god and our spirit from the highest god.

Very interesting, you have any interesting links on that? It kind of makes sense in a way because the world we live in is so flawed it's hard to believe one "perfect" god made it. Whatever made this physical world obviously could have done better lol

I overlooked this post, co-sign. In a perfect world, the serpent would have never entered the garden to begin with. It makes some wonder if the Biblical god and Satan were working together to begin with. It's the equivalent of allowing a child rapist to spit game at one's young son or daughter unchecked. Why allow someone like that in the vicinity in the first place.....

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
—Isaiah 45:7
Funny Christians get silent on this verse.

Does not logically follow. The universe is not a choice, as there is no alternative.
