 Did God do those things? Or did man act independently using their evil inclinations apart from God?

God created us with free will, a result of that is that man can choose to disobey God and His law (and that is our default state - hostile to God). 
 Of what, he has told me this:
Why the fuck do you pray to me, I shit the bed at least once a week
 
 he only answers every 25th prayer , he admitted that in netflix's Disenchantment 
 Really do you answer with Netflix to me?
Please go and fuck yourself until I will say stop!
How old are you, if you're in Netflix? 
 ain't no hate like christian love 
 Are you wanting an answer or just trying to throw jabs? 
 In control of what? All the savagery we are witnessing? The misery? The famine? The cruelty? The treachery? The corruptions? What is he controling? 
 nothing , such entity would have to exist in the first place. you can't control shit if you don't exist 
 I’ll state what I replied to the others with and feel free to respond how you see fit, I know this is a challenging topic to struggle with.

Nonetheless, “God uses all things to work to the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28 
 God could be a man and be clear about what he controls or not, and take responsibility for his creation 
 He lays out what He controls in His word (the Bible) pretty clearly.

I think Him “taking responsibility for His creation” is exactly what most people have a problem with. They don’t like the way He chooses to do it. But it’s up to the Creator on how He deals with His creation, in the same way that it’s up to a director of a play to deal with the plot/story how they want.

He isn’t accountable to anyone, He is the beginning & the end. Ultimately, the fact that there is still evil in the world just shows how merciful God is to begin with.

If He were to root out all evil, we would’ve all been gone long ago, as we’re all evil and have the capability to commit the same atrocities if you let yourself spin that far down. Regardless of “the level” of evil you are, we all sin, so we’re all guilty.
