Hi..
I believe that some people are born in certain circumstances, that make it harder for them to go down the right path..
Sometimes people are born into poverty, violence, ruthlessness..And those born under these circumstances, have more of a chance of choosing the wrong path.
I also believe, people born under some of these circumstances, but nurtured to be good, strong, honest and responsible people, will be good people..
I do not believe anyone is born evil,but can be a product of their environment, unless thought differently, from an very early age!.

I think that a person can be born evil, most serial killers are children who have either tortured animals or killed them for no reason. They have also been known to be bullies who hurt as well as intimidate the other children. If they aren't born evil what causes them at such a young age to do the things that they do. Some of these people have been doing these things since they were very small some as young as five years old. How would you explain their very early behaviors if they weren't born evil?

Evil is a moral concept. It isn't a trait that can be contributed to infants because they do not have any concept of morality, or even self awareness at first. Children can be born with psychopathic tendencies though. This is usually the result of an imbalance of brain chemicals that cause an inability to decipher right from wrong and a lack of conscience. When such people enter into the world, they are generally deemed "evil" later in life, because they do wrong without showing remorse.

I think that no one is born evil, I believe that people's circustances and socialization can make a person evil, but people are not inherently evil.

no one is born evil or good just like no one is a born leader...
its just the type of peer group they have which encourages them to do any activity

yes i think so.as we are all born sinners and into sin chances are some are more evil than others.Hitler for one,why i do not know.but each person makes their choices and can pray and ask GOD to help overcome these evil thoughts and to not act upon them.when people dwell upon evil they act upon it so a persons thoughts need to be pure,kind and holy.do not tempt yourself by looking at things which are evil,or by hanging out with others who tempt you to sin.the bible says if thy eye offends thee to pluck it out,better to lose an eye than your soul!!!

No. Technically, all behavioral tendencies come from early life experiences, however, some people can have mental disorders that propel them towards certain behaviors.
