No offense, Drich, but you're arguing from a very narrow perspective, since you only take the bible as a referrence.

But I agree, there are no good people, but there are no bad people either. There are only people doing good stuff, bad stuff and neutral stuff. Individuals are constantly evolving and what they experience in their lives, especially in their early childhood, has a great influence on how they deal with others. That's not excusing anyone from personal responsibility for their actions, it only says, things aren't predetermined.
