yeah, but that's the problem I pointed out in my first post. It's impossible to label the entirety of our nature as good or evil, because our motives, emotions, and reasons are too complex to be lumped under one label. Maybe that argument could have been valid centuries ago, when our only purpose in life was to survive and reproduce, but we've evoloved as a society, and because of that, the standards by which we judge oursleves has to evolve as well. Our lives, emotions, and our instincts have become much more complex, so the simple black and white labels of good and evil just aren't adequate anymore.
