Q56. Why does God create evil people?

God does not create evil people. People become evil. Children are pure and innocent, but as they grow up, due to their association with adults, television, Internet, and man-made ideologies, they become polluted and corrupt. The result of this is hatred, violence, drug addicts, alcoholics, deceivers, and gamblers, basically criminals in human society. It is the parent’s responsibility to teach their children what is right and what is wrong from birth and guide them, so they don’t become polluted by others and the media like television and the internet. The Bhagavad-Gita teachings, gives the best chances of becoming peaceful, nonviolent, understand why good and bad things happen (karma), and know God in full. Basically, to become decent human beings. The Bhagavad-Gita is the only scripture that preaches that all living beings are eternal and belong to Him, and thus everyone is important to Him. We are held responsible for our own actions (karma), we are all the children of God and thus we are all brothers and sisters. God is forgiving, merciful, responsible, and gives us unlimited chances (reincarnation). To engage in hatred or violence towards any living being is hatred and violence towards God, because all living beings are the children of God.
