Jim I disagree with you here. I have three children and before they could talk even walk they showed selfishness, violence etc. These things are in our bones leave and child to grow without proper guidance and you'll see. The problem is is that we adults re enforce these bad attitudes unknowingly because we ourselves haven't dealt with them properly and are still selfish, greedy ... I agree with you point about God and he does exist. he wouldn't associate with the image of him we portray. He isn't the big guy up there He's a real person he isn't waiting to punish us as soon as we slip up on the contrary he has our best interest at heart. Problem is this darkness is the absence of light, God is light so we now live in darkness. Hate steps in when Love is absent and God is Love so we live in societies full of hate. All of the problems we face today yesterday last year from the dawn of time is that We Exclude God.
