Good based on what?
So instead of wondering if and how people become evil, I wanted to concentrate on how they become good. The guidelines for what is defined as good is usually determined by a sacred scripture. Here is a question though, who wrote or translated that scripture? They surely had some bias so even if the message was from a higher being, the scripture has been distorted and yet we base our perception of purpose, good, and evil on them.

I do believe that many people have interpreted scripture and twisted around in the begining. However, I believe I am a Christian and I believe in the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit followers of God are able to interpret the scriptures and not all of them mean it for evil. For Jesus said when he left he would leave a gift with us which was the Holy Spirit. Honestly it doesn't take much interpretation of scripture to be able to decide what is evil and good. Most of the time it is obvious because we were created to love eachother. However, we all were born of a sinful nature but because of Jesus Christ that evil can be conquered. Of course people experience evil desires but we have the power to not let them consume us.
