Question

Do you believe all people are basicly good,isn't it that our insecurities and paranoia that drive us apart ?

Answer 1

Yes. We were created in the likeness of God and that includes our character, our personality... our whole being in fact.  But with the first sin of Adam and Eve who wanted the power that God has, we fell short of that image or likeness.  Added to that was Cain, who was jealous and insecure of his brother Abel.  



Therefore, it will come as no surprise that man will never stop hating his own kind.  Only with the second coming of Christ will all these hatred, these murderous frenzy, these paranoia and insecurities (as you said) cease.  

Answer 2

You got it backwards.  People are basically bad.  It takes work and concentration to be good.  In the absence of any influence people are like animals and that kind of behavior is unacceptable to civilized society.

Answer 3

i can say.. nobody was born a priest. It's how they were molded at a young age.
