I was educated as a pastor out of a tradition (Calvinist) that espoused the idea that we human beings were “totally depraved.” This essentially means that we are rotten to the core. It is a bit more nuanced than that, but that’s the gist of it. And there’s a lot of evidence pointing to that reality - after all, we human beings are capable of some of the worst imaginable things. I remember the stark reality of this as I stood next to a tree with a horrific history when visiting one of the Killing Fields sites in Cambodia in 2011. History shows this reality time and time again and sadly this will likely continue.
