Are we born good or evil?
ask a taoist,
they will say people are born good but are tempted to commit evil
acts in life
ask a buddhist, they will say good is evil and evil is good
hence to be born is the same as not to be born
ask a christian, they will say people are born evil (sinful) and
it is through the grace of god that our evils (sins) are atoned
ask a muslim, they will say all people, good or evil are suppose
to believe in their 'religion of peace', if you dont believe in
their religion, they will make sure you rest in peace. They
think strapping a bomb to themselves and blowing themselves up in
crowded places is good

i
believe we are born evil
If you believe we are born evil, why?
cos
i always have evil thoughts and i need to put in alot of effort to
suppress those evil thoughts
Example
1 - i see someone walking down the road, i have the urge to stick a
knife into him
2 - i see a crowded area, i get the urge to strap a bomb to myself
and blow everybody up
3 - i see a little girl alone, i get the urge to hug her
