Is every one born good?

It depends on which religion you ask, or which philosophy. Most religions frame the question negatively-- are we born sinful or not? Some religions (like Christianity) believe in Original Sin, and believe we are all born sinners. Other religions (like Hinduism) believe in Karma, and they believe the condition or situation we are now enduring is a result of how we acted in a past life. In philosophy, Aristotle as well as many of today's humanists believe we are a "tabula rasa"-- a blank slate, and our experiences and how we are raised will affect whether we become good or not. It should also be noted that some religions (notably Judaism and Unitarianism) do not accept the idea of people being born sinners. These faiths believe a person is born with the ability to do good or do evil, but it's a choice throughout life. So, the short answer is that some people believe we are born with the potentialto do good, while others believe we are born into sin and need the guidance our religion provides, to keep us away from the evil path.
