Everyone is evil to an extent. Even as someone who wants to believe in the good in everyone, I have to understand that humanity has a sin nature. Even the brightest, holiest parts of the bible don't let you forget that. Humans are foul creatures, but they deserve the chance to be good. If they don't take it, that's on them.

I guess so. Chance to be good? Who really takes that nowadays? The average person's internet use generates enough co2 equal to several transatlantic flights every year.
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
Giving up is the first step to being truly evil. There is a reason Sloth is listed as one of the seven deadly sins.
You need to have hope. If you lose that, then you have lost everything. Have hope for humanity, for their future. It may look grim, but a lot of that is artifice.

Hope? I guess all I have is denial and suppression, as to accept that one is fully evil would lead to a very dark place, which I'm probably too scared to go. I try to use my guilt to motivate me to be less evil though, with limited success
But I guess as a Christian, I have got to have hope.
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
There are some good sermons on youtube by Life.Church that I think might help you. Not forcing you to watch them, but give them a listen when you have time. Pastor Craig is one of the more entertaining pastors I've found, so it might even be vaguely entertaining.

Giving up is also the first step to being truly good.
You have to realize that you can't be good, nobody can. No matter what, you will do things that are wrong. You have to realize that you are evil and that evil must be punished. You have to realize that you don't deserve to live, you deserve to be destroyed.
Placing your hope in humanity is futile. You have to have hope in something that is true, good, and above humanity.
That thing you have to hope in is God.
I'll check it out. One of the things I find most difficult to wrap my head around is the idea that I don't have to consider myself irredeemably evil, as everything seems to point that way, but I guess that's what faith is for- getting past those hangups
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
I guess you are right, in a sense. But I believe that God wants us to love each other, and treating everyone as though they were pure evil doesn't accomplish that.

If we deserve to be destroyed, then why shouldn't we just destroy ourselves, isn't that the right thing to do?
Am I getting something wrong?
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
I used to see myself the same way, but with a mixture of professional counseling and the power of God himself, I learned that while I need God, I'm not evil at heart. I'm just as important as the next person, and if I don't do my part to help that next person... well, that's as bad a sin as they come.

God does want us to love each other. I never meant to treat everyone as scumbags. We are to love others as God loved us.
Just keep in mind that in loving each other, God wants us to love ourselves as well.

No. Destroying yourself is wrong. God created us in his image and he loves us. Destroying ourselves is taking his love and throwing it away.
Jesus came to be punished for our sins. We do not need to be destroyed if we let Jesus take the blame for us.
Makes sense. I guess it's just hard not to be angry with the entitled twisted selfish ignorant idiot that you know as Dutch, but I'd like to say I try to let Jesus take the blame
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
Yes, God loves us and does not want us to harm ourselves with our thoughts or actions. However, we shouldn't love ourselves more than God. We shouldn't act like we aren't sinners, but we also shouldn't act like we are still unforgiven sinners.
I guess that's the thing- I know I'm evil, sometimes I forget that I'm forgiven
*I should get out of this conversation I think*
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
*Yeah. I don't think chatting with near-strangers over the internet will help you in a crisis very much. Try talking to someone in person about this. Someone who cares about you and will be sure to listen to what you say.*

*I wouldn't say I'm in a crisis, but yeah, this isn't the place for my own insecurities and doubts- not good for you guys and not healthy for me either. Started off good, just started verbally attacking myself online and had to stop myself!*
You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.
(Intense southern accent) Oh, you boy are in a crisis. Let me now explain your own problems to you with my limited understanding and failure to actually care. Now, first off...

This all started with me making a joke about being a philosopher. HOW DID IT TURN INTO THIS CONVERSATION!?
