    So you are saying that it is in your nature to steal? That it's an innate tendency? Thus, the individual who steals is not at fault because it was the vile nature of people and his uncontrallable inherent urges to steal, murder, or what have you is the cause?
    I didnt say anything about fault.... Yes it is in my inate nature to steal, you are good when u dont steal, caues you CAN steal and that is bad.. and, NO that does not mean to blame "oh its my nature" that you stole something.. lol.. where did u get that from?.... we must understand, that when given the oppertunity (not when forced) it is in our nature to be bad, we are in essence bad people who choos to do the good thing, which then makes us good people. lol. ok a rather simplified and stupid way to say things, but thats how it is..
    When u are in the oppertunity to steal and u do it, you are only being human, not that its an excuse.. when you are have the oppertunity and you decide not to steal, then you have made a choice to be good.. well,, come to think of it, it seems like pretty much everythgn you do in life is your fault, cause if you can chose one or the other, then you have had a choice, and you chose the wrong thing.. etc..

      So are we good or bad? Do you even know what you're saying?

        This sort of thinking begs the question. Why is human nature "bad"? Why are you saying that "it is our nature to be bad"? We can very well restate that same phrase saying "Human nature is "good". Why is it in our nature to do good? It explains everything yet it explains nothing. The fact that we can generalize either way shows nothing. This hang up with natures either having to be all good or all evil is misleading. Think of it more along the lines of free will. We are able to do good yet evil as well. Nothing about "human nature" being either all bad or all good.

          well yes, it does all boil down to free will.. which is an essential indredient.. BUT,, then here the question that may be asked.. WHY do some people choe "bad" paths and others "good"? HAHA.. i dont think we can asnwer this one.

            Precisely, which is why we should leave it at "free will".

              Because of a ton of factors that we couldn't possibly break down and isolate. To answer that question would be impossible because we can't control people's experiences and lives from birth in a lab.

                Which leaves us at the bottom of the bottomless hole once more..

                  Note to self: Convince as many people as possible money is evil. Have everyone give you theirs in return for salvation.

                  Followup note to self: Previous note has already been done. Keep thinking.

                    I might be repeating what other people have said. But I dont believe money is evil. I just think human beings are selfish.
