Everyone (almost everyone) is born with a nose and five fingers and no one is born with a knowledge of god. This maybe deplorable or not, but it is certainly the human condition.

Bosh! You are all just denying the innate TROOTHINESS of Blue Hummingbird on the Left. Just look around at nature red in tooth and claw! Isn’t it obvious that the gruesome pantheon of the Mesoamerican nations is the TRUTH?
And HE NEEDS your still beating hearts! What? That sounds gruesome? Well we will, know who is to blame when the sun doesn’t rise tomorrow!

The sun keeps to rise daily prayers or no prayers. The Mesoamericans can keep their deities

They are born with the capacity for knowledge and a yearning to be good though they may be evil in reality – they are born with mind-body dualism. The Devil controls the body, God controls the mind, presumably.

The entire argument can be reduced to mind-body dualism. Read about Cartesian malignant demon. There is a force that pulls people towards self destruction on one hand and another opposing force that pulls people towards self improvement on the other hand.

So true. Born innocent. So many, later corrupted by religion.
It is a poisonous mind rot that infects innocence, then takes its money. As well as the capacity for independent thought and any hope of reason.

Have you watched how EVIL children can be? Not so sure we are born innocent. đ I might argue that morality is a learned, social behavior. (Not denying we may be wired for cooperation and empathy to a certain degree, but…)

Interesting point. Yes I have seen children who were downright mean. I generally chalked it up to bad parenting, or bad genes, or just bad kids. But newborn infants I think get a free pass on innocence, at least until their development shows us something else…

I don’t think the children were being mean. Just trying to be children in a strange and difficult world. With good parenting they should change

True. But I don’t think that rules out inherent moral laws. Children simply act out what they see. I think a moral compass exists in everyone, sometimes even animals display a sense of right and wrong. When an ant bites its victim, it quickly looks for a place to hide because it knows it has done something not good and that the victim might seek revenge.
