Okay why did I post the thread, you ask? Look at the headline I gave it. It is sad. Tragically sad. And yes, all men are inherently evil, including me, all pastors, the Pope, Rev. Billy Graham, Mother Theresa...every last one of us. That's not to say we're incapable of good actions. But by nature, if given the choice to do good or evil, our propensity will almost without fail lean towards the evil. Thank Adam and Eve. It's the reason Jesus came to earth. To save mankind from destruction brought upon himself by choosing to stray from God's intended path.

Do me a favor and leave the bible quotes out of the debate. It is not proving your point and is basically proving nothing.
By what you are saying I think it is safe to assume you are one of these born again Christians. Your Christian beliefs are not the same as many other Christians, and yes, most don't believe that mankind is inherently evil.
In relation to the title of this thread, the only thing that is so freaking sad is the fact that there wasn't another cop at the scene to blow this kid back to hell where he belongs.
While I really don't want to start an argument with you either, I have to say ........ every single day the newspapers are loaded with all kinds of stories that you could deem "sad". I just hope it doesn't mean you will be feeling the need to create a thread for every story about some lowlife kid who you believe was a victim of circumstance and went wrong.
Do the Christian thing and spare us from doing that.
