I don't believe that people are born evil or bad .. but i believe that people make them selfs bad to protect them selfs because they had a bad experience in life that made them be bad ... or they are treated bad by a person who should treat them right like there parents .... any way people who are bad made a habit to be bad and the same to the people who made them selfs good people :)

I believe that we are born neither good or bad. We are born with our animal instincts and we don't know what is good or bad behavior. Does a child know that sharing is good right from the start? No, that behavior must be learned. Does a child know that hitting other children is bad? No, he or she is taught that is bad.
We are animals in my opinion with the ability to restrain most of our animal instincts. Also, just think if somebody was raised without humans. Will that person learn to be good by himself/herself? Will that person teach himself/herself how to read? Our human behaviors are learned.

People are born innocent of any sin. They cannot commit sin until they are accountable for their actions. All people are also born with a conscience. Some people call it a conscience, some people call it the "Light of Christ". People are inherently good, however the forces in this world are overwhelmingly pushing people toward being "bad". One doesn't have to be Christian or any other religion to see this obvious fact.

We are born selfish, which left to run rampant, leads to evil behavior. The bible calls this a sin nature.
Godliness is behavior that is developed through practicing love, or unselfishness.
Job 5: 7 People are born for trouble as predictably as sparks fly upward from a fire.

nobody is a born killer ! only the environment he grows in makes him the person he is today. if osama bin laden ws born in a good society then might have also been very good to the society . even a animal if given proper training can do wonders.!!
i stongly beieve tht only the environment and training make a man what he is. if as per u if the people wer born bad and good then we never need schools and universities to groom them into good better human beings

We are born good with the potential to become less than good as a product of our environment as children. I honestly haven't met an evil child ...only children with poor role models or possibly mental illness.

We are born with a sin nature from which we must be redeemed. This has nothing to do with being good or bad. It merely IS. Behavior, all behavior, is learned.

I believe that people are born into sin and as such must choose right from wrong as he's taught. Although I have dated several girls who had children that I felt was born bad as heck. Lol

People are simply born.
