Do you want to define what you mean by bad?
Of course my God gave us permission to do bad things, why do you think he gave us commandments?
And yes, that is exactly what I believe, whatever you mean by bad I feel safe with. Yes, God gave us the ability to choose to do what is wrong in his sight. As well as what is wrong in anyone or all people's sight. Nothing is out of our reach, so long as we can avoid the consequences.
Do we deserve to live in a perfect world? Do we deserve to live in a world where we can defy our parents, the religious authorities appointed over us, our government as well as anyone else who gives us an opinion on morality that we don't agree with and then claim that we deserve to live in a world free from consequences?
As it is written.
"For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives."
