The below is the root of all evil, its the bloody serpents fault.

 

God fashions Adam from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden. Adam is told that he can eat freely of all the trees in the garden, except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Subsequently, Eve is created from one of Adam's ribs to be his companion. They are innocent and unembarrassed about their nakedness. However, a serpent convinces Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden tree, and she gives some of the fruit to Adam. These acts not only give them additional knowledge, but also give them the ability to conjure negative and destructive concepts such as shame and evil. God later curses the serpent and the ground. God prophetically tells the woman and the man what will be the consequences of their sin of disobeying him. Then he banishes them from the Garden of Eden.

If god created evil, god is evil

 

The quote you refer to doesn't state that God created evil, 

 

"However, a serpent convinces Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden tree, and she gives some of the fruit to Adam. These acts not only give them additional knowledge, but also give them the ability to conjure negative and destructive concepts such as shame and evil."

 

Therefore the serpent is evil, as Eve was convinced by it to eat from the forbidden tree. This resulted in them being able to develop the concept of evil, of their own free will.

 

A bit like taking an hallucinogenic substance and discovering weird concepts and beliefs that you are convinced are real. Almost like drug induced psychosis...

 

I'll leave it there.
