Not necessarily, just man's idea of God. The Bible is not the alleged deity.

If only God is perfect then everything created is by definition less. Still everything He created was good. Evil only exists because others chose it.
Sort of like when you voted democrat. You dumbass.

Still everything He created was good.
We have been here before. God actually admits to creating evil in Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things"
Evil only exists because others chose it.
To try and save some of their blushes, apologists traditionally gloss 'evil' here as harmful natural events, such as calamity, misfortune, adversity, affliction, or disaster. (ie Natural Evil) the suffering or pain that occurs in the natural world not caused by humans.
But that still leaves the alleged deity responsible for, say childhood cancer, say. The only option then is to assert that something is always good and justified if the Almighty works it, theology which is called Command Theory

on to, ultimately, er, asserting that genocide can be justified - which unsurprisingly can be very uncomfortable, morally speaking.
I think you'll find things are a little more complicated than that. -

Assuming what I think
So you don't think your supposed deity wants children to die in pain with the cancers He created? Why is cancer painful and sometimes fatal, then?
what God wants
Your supposed god wants evil, or misfortune, to exist, or otherwise He would not have deliberately created it, would it ?
what God created
The Bible tell us exactly that, please see the verse I quoted.
you are a hopeless fool
An
ad hominem
is not an argument.

Do you suppose that He intended lucifers rebellion or was hoping that He would have to allow Himself to be nailed to a cross? There are consequences to free will. If you were half as smart as you pretend to be you should have figured that out for yourself.
Explain your failure to do so.

I am sure there are, assuming one believes in angels and all the rest of these myths. But, as carefully explained to you at least twice where this topic is concerned, the 'evil' or 'misfortune' your deity specifically admits to in Isiah is of the
natural
type - a term used to describe suffering and pain that occurs in the natural world and is not caused by humans through any misuse of free will. Examples of natural evil include: Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Floods, Disease, Genetic defects, and Animal suffering.

Without sadness, you wouldn't know happiness. Without misery, you couldn't experience joy. Without fear, you wouldn't appreciate security. And so forth.
