Revelation 4:11
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

This quote indicates that the creation of evil is an ongoing process by God and that he creates evil for his pleasure. This makes sense in that God would not create something that he did not want in the world or that would displease him.

As a Gnostic Christian, I recognize that the concept of God is all myth.

Literal and historic belief did not generally come about till about the years 80. 50 years after the death of Jesus. In fact, Jesus was not declared divine till the Trinity concept was accepted, by the force of Constantine in 380.

Having said this, I recognize why the ancient thinkers would say that God is pleased when he creates evil in the world.

Do you understand how and why God gains pleasure from creating evil and sin?

If not, why do you think God would create evil and sin for his displeasure?

If God does not do or create evil as some think, then who else has the power to create evil?

God has never nor will He ever create evil, your weak mind is what causes you to believe such, and you desperation to discount scripture.

Nope. Evil is an action not a person.

So Satan is not per se evil. Cool.

No he definitely did not, Lucifer made Satan through his actions.

Did god create Lucifer with those tendencies?

God must ultimately be responsible for everything because even before the first atom came into existence he must have known in exquisite detail every single thing that would ever happen in this universe.

A bit like Mr. and Mrs. Hitler knowing exactly what their son would become and everything he would be responsible for and yet, still going ahead with the pregnancy!
