Firstly; qualifying your question, I presume you are making a direct inquiry of me, JerryPitts. Short of bringing into the conversation various scriptures which would only lead to further debate, I will simply state that outside the precepts of 'religious indoctrination', there are no other probable answer to your question.
If I were to allude that it was due to human nature, then I would also be taking on a humanist viewpoint, thus turning humanism into another form of religious indoctrination. Scientifically speaking, science has never been able to prove or disprove the existence of spiritual entities, therefore, science has no position within the conversation.


In that spiritual realm, in which we know so little about in the physical sense, that it remains a mystery even to the most astute of researchers. If you were to suggest that these entities actually and only exist within our minds, then you are incorporating an un-proven scientific theory known as Psychology.


Good and Evil exist, even if you set aside all possible avenues of examination, to include psychology, science, religion. As an example, if those avenues of examination did not exist, a person committing an act of rape, murder, theft, etc., would still be committing that act. The act would still be viewed as out of the ordinary behavior and would ultimately be labeled as this, that or the other thing..

A person who is the witness of such an act, would attempt to analyze the 'why' of the act, and would ultimately conclude, that 1: the act was committed as the result of some unknown condition of the persons individual makeup (a humanist/psychological/religious point of view) 2: that the act was committed as the result of some outside and unseen influence (religious or possibly scientific)

IMHO, again due to my personal religious indoctrination, I believe that the answer to your question would be an emphatic 'yes'.

I would be deeply appreciative to receive your view on the same questions.

Jerry.
