Are People Born Good, Evil, or Indifferent?

It's not that psycopaths are born evil rather than their chemical structure takes their ability to empathise away. Most people that are deemed psycopaths are prone to extreme curiosity. Because of their extreme curiosity some have eventually come to murder people or kill animals. However, not all psycopaths are murderers. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that these people are not born evil rather they are born with the lack of empathy and a strong will to discover why things are they way the are. In doing so, they do things which "normal" people would not normally be inclined to do e.g., killing people/animals.

I believed god intended for us to be born with a positive attitude because he's a god with a wonderful heart but since satan is on this earth we'll only be good or have good thoughts when jehovah gets in our head if not we'll have negative thoughts or be bad because of satan


There is no point in looking for an excuse to our own actions. There is no such a thing as Satan. Satan is only a concept to illustrate the evil inclination in man, as a result of the misuse of his attribute of freewill.

Precisely...I have killed and tortured small animals as a child just to see how they reacted...not because I 'hated' them or something.
I do not do such things these days you will be pleased to know...but I am still labelled a psychopath by most people who know me...because they know I have no brakes...no guilt.

Clinically I was diagnosed as a sociopath...but the difference is slight.
