Well looking at it from my aspect, no one is born evil but it depends on how they live their lives. And now, looking at it from the religious aspect, we were all born with the sin nature because of Adam and Eve. I agree with my view though. Everyone was born with the sin nature but we can decide not to be evil and follow in God's ways. And one can also decide to succumb to the sin nature and be totally evil. Side: No
No. We cannot judge others but by their deeds. New horns haven't done anything yet. Intelligence is a human quality. Our brains have a higher capacity for intelligence. But it takes time and experience to become intelligent. It takes time and experience to become evil. Side: No

Having in-group affinities as an early age is not evil. Nor is having out-group apprehension. Nor do either of these equate to racism. It is how people act concerning their affinities and apprehensions that should be judged, not the fact that they have them. Furthermore, an act must be in conjunction with mens re·a to be truly evil and not some lesser wrong. Side: No
