Theologically, the answer is that God the creator gave us the world and free will. We built this rolling disaster of corruption and self destruction by handing control of the world over to evil people.
The more practical answer is that people using God to advance evil agendas have drowned out honest discussions of spirituality and religion, especially in the online world.
The theological answer doesn't hold up. We have a god that's supposedly all knowing, all powerful, and all good (complete absence of evil), yet he turns around and creates a world full of evil. So he either isn't aware that evil is happening, is powerless to stop it, or is himself evil.
If there is a god, the Christian presentation of it is at the very least dishonest about the core pillars of what that god is - and if it can't even describe its own god honestly, I certainly don't trust the rest of the mythology.
The theological answer, by its own text, a lie.
Or heβs just a sadist
He's a narcissistic, petulant child, which actually makes sense that he created man in his image considering the history of the church.
