"God created good and evil so we would have free choice in rejecting him or not. He wanted to have a personal relationship with us, not make us puppets on a string. Therefore, there had to be an opposite to "good", that way the option was there.
Man chose evil, so god sent His Son to die for us and restore our relationship without destroying free will."
But this god knew what would happen, so what was the point? Put the steak on the floor just so he can kick the dog when it tries to eat it?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
