>Can God be classified as Good or Evil?

Response: Speaking from a Christian world-view God is the only thing that is good. In other words he is the source of all that is good, because no darkness dwells within him.

>If God is ALL would that not include good and evil?

Response: The question that should be asked is God All What? We say that God is all Knowing, all Powerful. God himself cannot be evil because that would be a contridiction of his own charecter.
>
>If Evil exist did not God create it?

Response: No, because evil is not a being. It is an intent, motive, or drive. It is not something floating around that grabs people and makes them act a certain way.

>IF created by God can it be that bad?

Response: yes, because it is in direct opposition to his charecter. However, God does use evil in order to bring about a good.
