Heh heh, oooooh, philosophy sneaks in, excellent!
I'd say that people are inherently
people. And that they invent their own notions of good and evil and apply them to the world as they see fit. Religious doctine is also choice. So, for example, the Catholic
chooses to believe the Catholic notion of original sin; that all people just subconsciously evil and need to consciously follow the bible scriptures and church officials in order to save themselves from themselves, which I
choose to interpret as bollocks [img]smile.gif[/img] It's all just human choice [img]smile.gif[/img]
