all of us are born in sin, shapen in iniquity.
it has been proven, that humans, if left alone, will sink to the lowest point possible.
even Jesus said, why do you call me good? (as He is in the flesh). He then said, there is none good but my Father which is in heaven.
that is why Jesus came to save us while we were yet IN our sin.

People are born genetically set up to be either good or bad and all things in between which would include the "prone" position. Some are born with more psychopathic genes than others. Some are born with more passive genes than others. Some are born with a mix of other types of genes....and so on. Then comes the environmental part which also plays a role in good, bad or indifferent.

All people are born with clean pure souls given directly from the breath of God -- God's very Essence.
What we do with our free will choices is our responsibility, AFTER we are born, that determines whether we will blemish those pure souls or not.
We don't have the concept of Original Sin, it's a Christian invention, a twisted interpretation of Genesis in our Torah.

People are born "a blank slate". Neither good nor evil. Then nature and nurture shapes them.
No one is PERFECT (we are all human). I would say that most people have more good than bad, but the bad ones get all the press.

Most people in the world are basically good. However, there are a vey few, very, very few who are actually evil.
I like to believe we are all good with a few big exceptions.

Yes. People are born the way they are.
The birth of Jesus Christ sets this standard high because with Jesus Christ it just says that we are born into who we are in this life.

The ones who become telemarketers were evil from the beginning.

I believe that no one is born bad, they just become that way after situations or experiences provoke their mentality to be that way
