God exists and has revealed to His creation, particularly mankind, what God expects of us and the consequences of failure to meet the expectations. He has also revealed to us that we, ourselves, fail to live up to God's standard but has provided a solution so that we do not have to suffer the consequences (Jesus, God with us, came to earch, lived a perfect life, and died in our place. If we trust in Jesus and what He did, then we do not have to pay the price ourselves). So God reveals all of this to you and you do not take advantage of the solution. Who then is to blame? The one who set up the rules and has the authority to do so, or the one who hears and knows what the rules are and fails to follow them? I would say the latter.
what is god's standard by the way?? worshiping him?! we get caught up by evil or not the point still remains that god created evil with motive of distracting human! if he has such high standards he shouldn't have brought himself low by creating evil himself! Well jesus didn't reach out for muslims! and where was he at the start of human civilization??
