Human Behavior

It's hard to extol the merits of mankind and to lavish excessive praise is insane; recognize the gamut of vain emotion and treatment of our brothers that's inhumane. The natural nature of man is hardly good - Proof is found in our vocabulary; despite incredible accomplishments of this world, poor relationships of man to extremes are still carried. Our literature and news is littered with ugly views of crime and hate. For brief review of the damage perpetuated, let's take time to reiterate. There's slavery, incest, murder, torture, greed, rape, hatred, genocide, racism, bigotry, fear, starvation, thievery, lasciviousness and terrorism. Uncaring predators have always existed, unable to overcome the evil within. Such conditions show our need for a loving God, to triumph over the presence and affects of sin.

Secularists just do not understand inherited Adamic depravity. We are born messed up. This world will never be a utopia because, anthropologically speaking, we are not angels; we are self-centered. Thanks for the honest perspective of humanity.
