Have we stopped trying to make good people?

I see, you are all scholars of Talmud. You have all read the Qur'an and the Hadith and the Bhagavad Gita and the wisdom of Confucious, etc. And you are all well versed in the many phiosophies regarding all of them and of the existance of God. From where did you guys recieve your Phd in religious studies? Ah but why seek any actual knowledge when you can "think for your self." BTW, if an idiot thinks for himself, doesn't that leave him with idiotic ideas? Just curious.

And still, the point that the OP has nothing to do with religion escapes you all. Why would anyone benefit from hearing anything you guys say? Why do I waste my time talking to you.

Are you intentionally being dense?
I contributed thoughts that didn't have to do with religion:

We are born with the potential to grow in many directions. Outside influences are huge. Sure, people are born with different degrees of tendencies to ignore or adhere to social standards. There are people who seem to be inherently evil, but to ignore outside influences and pretend that they were born with evil in their hearts, and just didn't have the willpower to overcome it sure is a simplistic view of things.

And, I said it again:

The idea that we are inherently good is about as naive as the one that says that we are inherently evil. (I still say that you've got some twisted, guilt-ridden myths going on). It's not that simple.

Most poor people don't commit crimes, therefore poverty does not influence people to commit crimes... seriously? What kind of logic is that? Everyone's different. It's a matter of people being flawed, not learning to stand for what's right and outside influences leading people astray. There is evil within and evil outside of us. That goes for good too.

And, what's with the condescending bullshit about people not being able to have opinions (other than idiotic) about religion without having a Phd in religious studies? BTW, where did you get your Phd? Or are you an idiot like us? Personally, I don't think that I need a Phd to realize that the idea that the sun is some dude riding a chariot is bullshit - same goes for other silly myths, even if they're currently popular.
