No we are not inherently good, as you can plainly see by the state of the world collapsing around us. Humans are in fact inherently evil, which probably goes a long way to explain the pain you have experienced in your life.

What our belief system does (note the deliberate absence of the word 'religion') is teach us that we can choose a better alternative. We cannot do it on our own because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Humanity is sinful and will only continue to get worse until it makes itself extinct.

With any belief system, there will be those who are attracted to it for the power it can give them over those they can manipulate. We need to get past those people and make our own choices.

I'm not sure if any of this is getting through but if you only remember one thing, its this:

Jesus can and will save you. Just call on his name and he will be there. In your last moments if you have to but just remember him...


Shouldn't your own spirit and humanity tell you those very things?

Why do you need a religion to tell you to be good, especially one so brimming full of assholes using the religion as an excuse to hate?

Why is it not already in you? What is wrong?

Jesus was the supreme example. While He was being betrayed with a kiss by Judas one of his disciples drew a sword and cut off the ear of the high priest's servant. Jesus said then that all who live by the sword will die by the sword and Jesus then healed the ear that had been cut off. Jesus did this knowing what would shortly be done to Him at the hands of these men.

Christianity teaches us to LOVE. It teaches us to look at our fellow man with love and not with anything that would cause harm in any way to him. Unfortunately hardly anyone lives this way or if they did, the world would be turned upside down. It teaches us not to hurt, harm, or covet our brother in any way. It teaches us to treat others as we would like to be treate.

Christianity teaches us to not be hasty to be angry. That the wrath of man that not being about the will of God. It teaches us there is a hell and people are headed there. It teaches us to overcome evil with good.

Christianity teaches us that man is redeemable. It teaches us that all God desires is that the wicked person turn from his wicked ways. That God has abundant pardon for anyone.

Christianity teaches us not to be like the Muslims who riot when their prophet is evil spoke of. Chritianity teaches us to rather react in love and let God be the avenger of evil.
