If the creator is perfect, there is no bad. Calling something bad, for one thing is relative, and for two, calling it bad is like saying a perfect creator makes imperfect creations. That is a contradiction and therefore, false. Calling something bad is no less than disrepsect towards your creator. If you call something bad, then you are saying the creator isn't good at its job, and therefore you set yourself up for your own shortcomings.

A perfect creation would a complete creation that would encompass all facets ranging from good to bad and from beautiful and ugly and from love and hate.
Your idea of perfect is flawed.
Not to say that I am religious and believe that god created the world.

Rather than saying that there is no such thing as evil or bad, maybe the creator(s) itself is not perfect? It's hard to believe that all of the atrocities of our existence are here to help us.
I think instead we just need to try to take positives from whatever happens to us.

Yes, it is all based on our human perspective.
I would say everything just IS.

In my humble opinion the Creator is Everything.
When you see "evil" people or things it is because you are supposed to. They are here playing a part just like the rest of us, and like the rest of us they are playing it beautifully .

Yeah I did. I'm just stating my view. Is that okay? Or do you believe you're the only one who has the right to an opinion?

Exactly right OP!
There is no good vs. evil. There is no "bad." Everything here is a test. Everything here is an experience we chose for ourselves to work on our spiritual beings and get in touch with our priorities for now and for later. Many people miss the lessons and concentrate on the past or the future or focus in on details of the pain of their status quo. This existence is to "experience" everything this carnal plane has to offer. The creation is perfect, but that doesn't mean every thing happening here has to be good.
