More Philosophy

Okay so here's part two of my humans are born to be innately good post which will answer the question: If we are supposed to be so good why is there so much bad or evil in the world? Well here's my answer. I think that all of us know when we are about to or are doing something wrong. Sometimes we choose to stop and others times we continue on even though we know that we shouldn't. They key word here is choose. The choice that God gives us shows just how much He really loves us. He allows us to make the choice to kill, rape, molest, and steal among other horrible things and still He chooses to love us! Giving us choice in our own lives is the most ultimate love that God could give us. He hopes like any parent does, that we will do the right things, the good things that we KNOW in our hearts we really should do, but He loves us in spite of the horrible decisions we make at times. So bad things happen sometimes because we choose for them to happen.
Then I think there are those people who have chosen so many times to do the wrong thing, the evil thing that now that person becomes that evil and wrong thing. In "Letters from a Skeptic" the author describes it like a snowball that keeps rolling gaining more and more momentum until it can no longer stop on it's own until it crashes into something big enough to maybe slow it down. I think we as people are like this as well. The more lies you tell the more you eventually have to tell to the point where you may even start to believe your own lies. I do believe in evil just as much as I believe in good, so I know that if goodness can exude from a person so can evil. I do believe that some people are pure evil, but not because they were born that way, but because of the choices that they made along the way!
