In all my reading and listening to various religions’ viewpoints, I only recall one woman saying God made a mistake when he allowed free will.
I mutter so many times “well, thanks to free will——
that serial killer abducted little children”
“those knockout game teens got away with it again—witnesses shut up”
or “the man who pushed the woman onto the subway tracks to get killed ran away.”
The human race commit so much evil they are again as in the time of Noah. IMO
A priest who wrote a book about his experiences as one of the hundreds of exorcists said the average person got the wrong idea from such things as the movie The Exorcist. “They think the power of Satan is overwhelmingly enormous and strong and an equal opponent to the goodness of God. But Satan is a small part of God’s creation and nowhere near being equal.”
Hope he was right.
There is no "Hope" about it. He is definitely correct.
Read the book of Job to see how God and Satan interact.
