I have to agree with Crystalmom and Japa on the statement that nobody is born 'bad'. I believe we are born innocent, with a clean slate. As we grow and mature, we make our decisions, and nature as well as nurture contribute to who we become as adults, but the idea that we are inherently bad or sinful does not sit well with me. I believe that a little spark of god is within all of us, if that makes any sense.
