And that wire-arrangement that takes us to reject some things wich aren't usefull to us determines morality to a large degree, greatly modified by the society and culture the person lives in.

@oscarmarin1995

Our nature are our instincts: impulses that take us to sleep, drink, eat, have sex and survive in that order of priority. None of that is evil. Anything beyond that is a social construct, and society is not "our nature".

Furthermore, a healthy mind, with thouse instincts covered, rejects violence, suffering and desructive behaviours as much as a healthy body rejects a fever. What most label "bad" the human brain is wired to reject, unless altered.

@Sinclairelim Have you lied before? Stolen? It's basically that we do evil by nature. Now not all the time... but we have been before in the past.

Where does morality come from?

[Sinclairelim]

@oscarmarin1995 Says who? And with what evidence to support him/her?

Because psychologically speaking, everything points to the contrary.

[oscarmarin1995]

People are basically bad by nature

[oscarmarin1995]

No everyone has done something bad.

Well, isn't it rather obvious that you have to believe that the Bible is true in order for any of it's teachings to have valid application. I don't think that you have any basis for thinking that Jesus stated anything to the contrary.Jesus, in fact, states that whoever believes in Him has everlasting life (now), but whoever rejects Him has the wrath of God in their life (also now) Perhaps you should consider your readings with a more open mind & understanding of history. Why be so shallow ?

When I was 13 my parents forcibly enrolled me in bible class and I had to spend almost a year going there once a week Wednesday evenings. The class instructor was not an ordained minister, just a member of the congregation who volunteered to instruct the kids. A total creationist retard. I thought him a fool of the highest magnitude. Anyway, after a year he called my parents and said I was a disruptive influence and didn't want me in his class anymore. Yay!!!!
