Did God create sin?

Sorry, but I'm not gonna go ahead and believe something that doesn't make sense just because a book says so. I've constantly been questioned about my beliefs by people because of the fact that I'm not ignorant, and I feel it's important to fully grasp a concept instead of blindly following it. Just because I question certain things doesn't mean I'm trying to shit on it, I wanna get a better understanding. Oranized religion tends to shun on this though. In order for there to be faith, there has to be some truth to it as well.

The problem is that it is impossible to fully understand the concept of God making a lot of your questions redundent. That's not saying you shouldn't question certain concepts people hold as truth, but you seem a little exasperated when these questions can't be answered by people.

IMO God created everything. He gave us the choice of going by what he wants (the "good" thing), or to do what he doesn't want (sin). So yes, he did create sin. But when you look at sin, you can't just look at it as being wrong or right. Sin is just what God does not want us to do, and what He deemed incorrect (after all, He would know, he IS God). He gave us the free will to choose what we want to do. He created everything including sin, and gave us the choice of which one which one to fallow.

I'm not trying to haze you or anything man, I think you've got the wrong idea of what i'm about. I get that all the time too, "intelligent" people always try and question what you beleive if you aren't retarded, and basically try convert you to whatever they think.
Organized religion will always end up fucked, if theres something to exploit theres always someone willing to do so, just read the bible for a hundred examples of that, especially with the church. The problem is people look to the preacher or what have you as their only source of the word, God is the creator of all things, logically how could anything exist without it first being created? Again, sin wasn't gods intention for us, but we choose to do it, I don't what you are getting hung up on, we have the ability to do so obviously, but look at it like this, since man created a camera like 7even was saying, would that mean that god had in fact created it? God laid the boundaries allowing there to be a "sin", that's why hes the judge.

The problem is that a lot of Christians / Muslims / whoever believe that simply questioning the validity of their belief is denouncing it. If you don't have a blind faith then you don't have faith at all. That alone should answer a lot of questions about the validity of any organized religion. You wouldn't last a day in this world if you took everything at face value, but for some reason we're supposed to take religion that way? Ha.
