There are so many wonders in the world including if people are born evil. I will however tell you that when you view a new born child's eyes there is a very bright light that we all are born with. When we are born we are however born into evil. Not born with evil inside of us. This world has so many aspects surrounding the conclusions of why do some people do the things they do? How could any one murder another, or even begin to harm them in any way? As we are taught from the beginning of time when Adam and Eve were created. God created Adam and Eve simply because he was lacking a need for true self friendship. He had created them both perfect without the Knowledge of Good or Evil. He did however command them to not eat of the tree of Knowledge or they would surely perish.
As we are taught from the Biblical point that Eve was tempted by a serpent and did eat of the fruit and offered it to Adam. When God appeared in front of them both Adam and Eve hid themselves in the bushes. They were ashamed of their nakedness. Since then we were committed to a life of fighting our way back to where we actually originated from. We are sent into a world of evil all around us and we are to find our way back home. Satan was the most beautiful angel in heaven, he was casted out of heaven because he wanted God's powers and wanted to over rule him. God casted him into the earth giving him dominion over the earth, as we grow we loose our light over time. Newly born Christian's can also loose this light if they don't continue to cultivate their relationship with God. Yes God can change a truly evil person and give them their light back into their eyes once again. However it is up to the person if they choose that relationship with God or not. We are all surrounded by temptations in life. As we ponder on the decision of what to do, this is the point where we allow evil to enter our lives.
If you watch closely you will notice that people that don't carry the light with them will over time. Have their problems begin to build upon one another. People try each and every way to get rid of this load on them. Some do drugs, become alcoholics, get over involved in sex acts, other take their own lives just to get out. The man was cursed to work at the sweat of his brow till his death and the woman was cursed with painful childbirth. Still we have the challenge of living in a world where evil has dominion over(Satan). We all face this challenge there is no one in this world that can escape the curse. We just find ways to cope and get through it all.
Some parents teach their children about the Bible and religion and others don't, which this is the parents preference. It is our jobs as a parent to teach our kids right from wrong and to help them in each and every way as they grow. Being a parent is the most difficult job in the world. Every day there are new challenges that await parents and decisions that need to be made. There a lot of troubled people in the world today.
As Jesus said when he died on the cross. "Forgive them father for they know not what they do"
