Are humans righteous or evil in nature?

Saint said: ↑ Causing Floyd's dead is evil.

Does that mean all cops are evil?

Stop projecting your anger on an innocent.
Saint posited a true statement. I did not read a condemnation of all cops.

I plead guilty ....When I was 18 years old, I had been drinking with a few mates, and was yahooing and throwing crackers at passing traffic. Some one called the cops, and this dirty big Crown Sergeant grabbed me, and told me to piss off home, with the bugger standing on my toes with his size 13's....after directing me three or four times to get home [with him standing on my toes] and giving me a clip around the ears when I obviously could not move, he finally let me go with a good swift kick up the clacker!!!

From poverty and misery to wars and racism these are all caused by humans and are human problems.

Not necessarily. Poverty (scarcity of resources) is not exclusive to humans. It's one of nature's major methods of population control.

Fighting, war, and violence are all human nature, but they are seemingly neutral things and by nature they are paradoxes, and I am opposed to them as a non-violent pacifist. So I would say human beings are both good and evil ala Adam and Eve.

Those words have no meaning. Is a cow "righteous" or "evil" in nature?

And then there are those who find the question so confusing they cannot distinguish between bovine and human.

The answer to the question is straightforward, and also, as it happens, as useless as the question:

Are humans righteous or evil in nature?

It depends on who defines "righteous" and "evil". Beyond that, we can observe that humans are frail and imperfect. What we mean by frailty and imperfection includes basic inconsistency, e.g., a social creature behaving antisocially.

If, for instance, we need reach back to Aquinas and the question of a blind horse, we're probably doing it wrong.

The answer to the question is straightforward, and also, as it happens, as useless as the question:

Bovine and human are both animals, sure one isn't sentient to the same degree as the other but "righteousness and evil" are religious and therefore supernatural concepts which are equally irrelevant to both bovine and human.

Surely even the manga sect can grasp that?

How do you know Saint is innocent?

Instinct.

Instinct.

In other words.

You're just dissing me.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the "manga sect" is capable of grasping the idea of cheap make believe.

OK, good. Just checking. I get the make believe but I wasn't sure about the reality part.
