What do you think?

Question

What do you think? We're people born inherently evil? Or do they have a choice in the matter?

Answer 1

no its the way your brought up. there is no genetic gene that tells a person they are evil.

Answer 2

The Judgment is negative, the Will is positive and each is perpetual reformation and reforming the other. We have choice as a repetitive and trans-formative process.

The Judgment in its mixed notion.

"Chapter 2 The Judgment
§ 1346

The judgment is the determinateness of the Notion posited in the Notion itself. The Notion's determinations, or what we have seen to be the same thing, the determinate Notions, have already been considered on their own; but this consideration was more a subjective reflection or subjective abstraction. But the Notion is itself this abstractive process, the opposing of its determinations is its own determining activity. The judgment is this positing of the determinate Notions by the Notion itself. Judging is thus another function than comprehension, or rather it is the other function of the Notion as the determining of the Notion by itself, and the further progress of the judgment into the diversity of judgments is the progressive determination of the Notion. What kinds of determinate Notions there are, and how these determinations of the Notion are arrived at, has to reveal itself in the judgment."

No, we are not inherently evil.

Answer 3

We all have a choice. We are responsible for our own decisions, actions and personal growth. We can improve, change, redirect, overcome and constructively use whatever life hands us. That is our choice, our strength, and our privilege as human beings. I believe all people are born with "diseased spiritual DNA" but we don't have to let it remain diseased. It is part of our God-given free will to decide what we make of ourselves and what we choose to become as a person.

Answer 4

I think people definitely have a choice in what they do and they can be influenced by things that lead them to become evil.

Answer 5

People have a will and so they can always make a choice.

Answer 6

we are born evil but we do stil have a choice

Answer 7

I personally believe that if someone is evil, it's in their nature, their blood. That's just my philosophy. The same with good, it's in your blood.
