Proverbs 16:4

Just to add a note about that. At the end of the creation (Gen 1.31) God says that what he made was "good", so it is quite odd to believe that God creates somebody as "evil", forcing him to be evil (I don't know if you meant that or not). As about the popular conception of God as an "extremely, insanely good person that would never do evil to somebody, not even to an evil man" I believe it rather comes from the people's desire for a God like that: irresponsible and ignorant in order to agree with & like how they are - irresponsible and ignorant, a God that forgives everybody and allows everything because He cannot react by reason, but only forced by His "good" nature (i.e. strong feelings that He cannot resist). I believe that belief in such a God is truly childish, like creating a "Santa Claus" to worship. (and yes, the popular conception about "God" is a "Santa Claus, that lives more than during Christmas")

Again I don't believe in "God's nature", i.e. God forced by His nature, or God falling to His feelings, unable to react by reason. And I don't believe in a "good" God to mean an "extremely good person, even to insanity and stupidity" - and you must admit that if a man is "good" in the meaning of doing nothing when people mock him and hurt him and harm him, and after all these acting as nothing happened is more "stupid" than "good". So how would be God not to take these into consideration, perhaps because of an "extremely, insanely good" nature? I guess people tend to twist too many words to the absolute.

I agree with the verse. I did not state at any time that God created people evil, merely that he created people andb evil. He created us for the propensity for evil, knowing we would opt for options, and I can only hope that in the long run he sees it being a betterment on the overall of creation.
God is not all loving as he does hate, and they are opposites in the common concepts. He does however love people regardless of the lives they choose. As a Christian I'm not farmiliar with God being a Santa Claus being a common concept, perhaps it is in your regional experience, but not in mine. I'm not sure of your exact question in the next to last sentence. Perhaps you could restate and clarify for me. Thanks!
