Fact
I dont think that word means what you seem to think it means.
Fact
Fact about humanity, people are basically evil and choose to do wrong.
I strongly disagree, based on my own experience and things I've read.Fact about humanity, people are basically evil and choose to do wrong.
A simple little test.
Lying is evil and telling a lie makes one a liar.
What % of people have told a lie?
Stealing is evil and doing so makes one a thief. What % of people have stolen?
Looking at a woman who is not your wife lustfully makes one an adulterer that's evil and what % of us has done that?
Being so angry with someone that you want to hurt them is being a murderer. What % of us have done that?
Telling a lie that defames someone's charecter is very evil yet we humans do that all the time.
Evil starts in our hearts and manifests in our thoughts. The big problem is that we define evil by comparing ourselves to others who we know to be evil.
"Yeah I might have cheated on that test in college but. I'm no Ted Bundy"
"Yeah I might have sat back and done nothing while that hoard of 7th grade boys tried to "pants" that girl at lunch out by the gym but it's not like I was the one doing it."
Yeah, we let ourselves off the hook because we think there is someone worse.. They arebthe evil ones, not us.
Anyway, no one will agree with me so I'll stop.
I get where you are coming from. If you are not perfect, you are evil. So every human is evil. I just don't agree.A simple little test.

that is opinion though.Fact...being so angry I think about murdering someone does not make me a murderer. Commiting the act of murder would make me a murder.
Fact....As a married man, thinking about commiting adultery does not make me an adulterer. The act of adultery make would make me an adulterer.
Opinion and fact are two very different things.
No, those are facts.that is opinion though.
Rob your mixing up in a court of law verses your specific religious beliefs...that is opinion though.
Who said anything about a court of law??Rob your mixing up in a court of law verses your specific religious beliefs...
No, they aren't.No, those are facts.
that is opinion though.
So, Rob: "Looking at a woman who is not your wife lustfully makes one an adulterer that's evil"No, they aren't.
Adultery:
voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse.
Murder:
the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
I dont see the words "thinking about" in either of those definitions.
I believe it is fact.So, Rob: "Looking at a woman who is not your wife lustfully makes one an adulterer that's evil"
--- is your statement fact or opinion?
