Why can’t such a being praise itself?  I’m sure it can.  Couldn’t it have another all-perfect being, if it’s lonely?  Sure but, taking into account what the deity is, another being made purely good and of the same omniscient mind would just be the same being in another form.  So, something else would have to be made, something without the same mindset.  The only thing that can have such a mindset is one that is evil in some way.

Why would having something evil glorify what is good?  By comparison?  Simply the definitions of those do that.  If something is forced to be evil, isn’t its obedience good?  So it must have freewill, but, if the deity is omniscient and omnipotent, it purposely made a create that would become evil.  Doesn’t this mean that the creator is responsible and the creation is not at fault?

Yes and no.  The creator is in control and responsible, but not at fault; the creation is.  What the creator decides to do is good, it because created all the rules for itself and follows all the rules for itself, because its nature is constantly good.  What about the nature of the creation?  Originally, it would have had to have a pure, since conceptual evil was present but not physical evil.  So why couldn’t the creation follow in the creator’s footsteps and avoid evil?
