Yes, people. The thread's about secular humanism.

Quote:I have no idea what this means.

People are inherently moral, but life situations can occasionally drive them to do immoral things.

People are inherently immoral. Social institutions are necessary to maintain a reasonable amount of morality.

Those are two different views on the nature of people (yes, people) and the role of society. Which do you subscribe to (or describe an alternative), and what's your evidence for that view?

People? I understood what you meant. Did you understand the quote from Goodall?

I can agree with both people being moral and immoral. I think my quoting Goodall implies that.
