So since God creates the body of a fourteen year old girl that is pornographic by having a picture fall into the hands of a forty year old guy, it means God is a pornographer since he created this potential.
You know Nick, I've been trying to understand where you are coming from, and to a degree I think I do...but here you just stepped over the edge.
The logic you are using is convoluted at best. Even if one wishes to disregard the passage in Isaiah that says G-d created evil *too,* it still remains that what you and others call evil exists in the world. G-d created the world, and part of the world is evil, so G-d created evil, so evil must be good. *NOT!* It totally misses the point that evil is the trial and separation, to be avoided at cost.
Taking a different tack, evil is something people do to each other. Evil in this sense exists, evidenced by all the jails and prisons and halfway houses and programs designed to try to rehabilitate offenders. Putting that on G-d is a cop-out and a lame excuse...one that can easily be misinterpreted to condone evil and violence...like your "nature" analogy, suggesting somehow that people should return to the mental state of "red of tooth and claw." I look around me and I think humanity has come a very long way from there...why on G-d's earth would someone want to return?
Now, if one wished to shed their clothing other than a couple animal skin loin clothes, grab a flint and steel and a bowie knife and light a shuck into the woods and *NOT COME BACK,* then there may be something to what you are saying. In a civilized society, you are wrong.
I'm not usually this blunt, but this subject bristles more than a few feathers. In the interest of keeping the peace, I am locking this thread.
