Jamesthesasquach I agree with 99% of ur post, but the bible does not say anywhere that man is inherantly evil (created in the image and likeness of god) man is born with grace and while man is inherantly stupid and imperfect that does not mean that man is evil, furthurmore man sturggles against the temptation 2 do wrong not his natural tendancy 2 do wrong. Bibically, origionally sin is, in some sense, artifically implanted into humanity.
