Why did God make Hitler?
Please Note: These are questions for theists.
Forget the Problem of Evil paradox. Let's make it easier. Why did your deity create such an evil man?

What kind of purpose would he fit into your God's plan? Why was he bored of Hitler being an artist and desired WW2?

Is your God's plan even worth it? Would you say to your God, "Oh God, I'm eternally grateful you created Hitler for Hell and allowed him to murder millions just to prove you are sovereign". What kind of God... allows Hitler?

Trials and tribulations, maybe it makes the world better or maybe it makes it worse for everyone now to go thru trial and tribulations.

At the end of the day God gave free will to everyone and what some people use it for is up to them.

Hitler created himself. He made his name what it was. You're handed the keys to your own life, and what you do with it is on you.

People are willing to deflect the blame of bad people onto anybody but the people themselves these days.

Theist or not, that's true for life.

maybe god didnt like his art
He didn't, Satan made Hitler. No, Satan's not stronger than God. Well but -

Well, God could have made Hitler, he just didn't feel like it.

Well yeah if he knew he was going to end up evil then yeah maybe he should have stepped in and made him instead of letting Satan -

You know what?

He works in mysterious ways

A God that doesn't give a damn about humans, obviously.

Is it bad if god causes people to die when earth is hell. And he sends them to heaven? :curator:

How about making their life more tolerable on Earth?

I think according to the story god created adam and eve, and then humanity came after. It's not like god creating each individual, so the logic of the question is lacking.

I mean, if he exists, then he made everything, including the first angel which became the devil.

So, there's that...maybe you should ask why hitler became hitler?

If Funny Moustache Man's free will were to be supernaturally hamstrung on the condition that it would be tremendously misused, so would ours.

Getting an "honest and meaningful" answer as to why God does something will require God to answer the question himself.

If you believe in God then ask the question in prayer.

Example:
ᚺᚨᛁᛚ ᛟᛞᛁᚾ ᚦᛖ ᚨᛚᛚ ᚠᚨᚦᛖᚱ, ᚹᚺᛃ ᛞᛁᛞ ᛃᛟᚢ ᚨᛚᛚᛟᚹ ᚺᛁᛏᛚᛖᚱ ᛏᛟ ᛒᛖ ᛒᛟᚱᚾ ᚲ
Hail Odin the all Father, why did you allow Hitler to be born ?
