explain this, why did god create the snake if he knew it would seduce eve? why did god create eden, if he knew he was ganna kick adam and eve out. why is god jealous of other gods that dont exist. why would god let an ange defect and create hell. why would an angel defect and create a hell that tortures bad people. sounds convienient for parents. how do we sin, if jesus died for them.

It's a very good question, and let me add a bit more context to it: Why did God create the scenario in which he knew man (call them Adam & Eve or whoever..) would sin and demonstrate the gap between God and man? Why did God create a scenario that could only be fixed by Him giving his only son Jesus Christ to die for our sins?? Doesn't that put a different perspective on it? God always knew that man would sin (whether it be through a snake or other means), God always knew that Jesus Christ would pay the price of this sin. So why did God create a scenario that was going to cost himself such pain and grief. You go on to ask a whole load more random questions which makes me think you may not actually want them answered so I am going to comment on the first one as it caught my attention...

God didn't create these things To have them happen the way that they did. He wanted us to live in that garden and be happy and love him. But he also gave the angels free will as he also did us. If he hadn't given us free will what kind of love is that. He could have zapped Lucifer but than all the other angles as well as us humans would only be worshiping him from fear. It would be just like slavery.
