Original Sin
The notion that some are born evil is nothing new.Some religions believe we're born evil and need it thrashed out of us.
Sure we need to be taught right from wrong, we're not born with a rule book ~ knowing that comes with parenting and experience.
But can you honest believe that a newborn baby is innately an evil creature?
I can't.
