Can people be born evil?

My answer is absolutely no, ‘evil’ is more about what people learn from the society when they grown up, not something that we have when we born Just look at babies, I believe they reflect human true nature

In general people are not born evil. Some people may have mental health issues or brain tumors or some other brain condition that makes them act out irrationally… and hence in some circumstances be seen as “evil”. Evil is mostly learned for the rest of us. It’s a choice.

Yes people can be born evil. it’s not always down to the environment they were brought up in. otherwise why do people with normal upbringings turn into axe wielding maniacs or become rapists and murderers. On the other hand some people are subjected to inhumane upbringings and are the gentlest people in the world. I do believe that people must have the pre-disposition for evilness to start with. Call it illness if it makes you sleep better at night but it is what it is. People only label things to reassure themselves that evil can be predicted. Well it can’t. Sometimes bad people do bad things just because they can, because they like it and want to do it. That is EVIL and nothing else.
