    No, it is a pretty even mix, it is only because of the will to do good that humans have often been more good than evil, it is not programed in us. This however is a Dark Age...we have lost that.....just look at JPP for instance.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    When someone says something that you dont like you jump to the conclusion that they are defective and you hurl insults.

    You are not behaving as a good person.

    And crime is exploding.

    Trust is collapsing.

    Buckle Up.

    So you are saying that it's about 50/50 Good/Evil in people but there is MORE "will to do good" than doing evil? That sounds somewhat strange.

    it is not programed in us.
    Actually I kind of disagree. With social animals, pack animals, they don't have moral teachers to teach them what is right and wrong. And morality is simply the rules collectively agreed upon by humans in a human "pack", so I'm uncertain why much of what we consider to be "good" isn't kind of already part and parcel of the social animal we are. Kind of "programmed in" in a sense.

    This however is a Dark Age...we have lost that.....just look at JPP for instance.
    Agreed, JPP is a horrible cess pit. But that's kind of its attraction as well. You can come in here and vent a bit. Just don't expect people to actually knowledgeably discuss anything.

    I am not here to judge others for what they have faith in or for what they don't have faith in.

    That is none of my business or interest!

    I like Christians and non-Christians alike and have no desire to change anyone's own opinions of their faith!

    I'm an atheist but I agree with this sentiment. ALmost all my friends are believing Christians and I like all of them and even respect their faith. But I love to talk about religion (I used to be a believer) and there are some good parts of some religions!

    What I find interesting are those people who wield their faith like a cudgel. Those are the folks whose faith I don't much care for and will stand against it. It's even more annoying to me if they are oblivious about their own faith while acting like a douche in the name of said faith.

    Religion is myth. And its benefits are precisely because it is myth. Once religion ventures into the realm of truth it dissolves.
    In many ways Trump's ideology that there is no true truth is one of the most anti-christian ideologies there is.

    Yet still based on faith and belief.
