The traditional Christian attitude toward human personality was that human nature was essentially good and that it was formed and modified by social pressures and training.
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.
There does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to, there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude, rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let's get on with it.
Even if people do wrong, we're social animals, so what can we do about stopping them doing the same things in future? Saying people are 'bad' or 'evil' is just an unwillingness to engage an unwillingness to try to empathise. That sanctimonious attitude doesn't help anyone.
