Not to continue the slide too much, but we are all born into sin. No one has to teach a child to take something that's not his or hers. They have to be guided on the right path.

I think saying that children are born evil is maybe too emotionally charged, but that we can accept that children are born into sin, and must be taught right from wrong.

There are children born with psychological issues that if not seen in time and addressed will turn them into serial killers, pyromaniacs, etc. Sometimes they can’t even be addressed.

There are books filled with cases of them. As I said earlier, there’s an entire series on Discovery ID about them. It’s from birth.

It’s not a religious issue. It’s a diagnosed medical fact.

Let me try this slide. Thanks to Adams action we are born with a fallen nature and it manifests itself early (This is mine!) in a life of a child. I remember lying to a childhood friend at about 7 or 8 years of age for no good reason. If mankind was not fallen Jesus Christ would not have needed to give Himself as payment for our sins. So glad He did.

Once again irrelevant assertions that have nothing to do with the original statement.

No one said that they don’t have to be taught—in fact just the opposite has already been stated and agreed with. So it serves no purposed to keep restating that kids must be taught right from wrong.

In fact, that statement shows that they don’t have the requisite knowledge to be either evil or good when born!

They are NOT born evil or good. They are born dependent and innocent.
