Are Human Beings "Fallen" Creatures ?
Can people ever be all good?
Are we not "fallen" in the sense that our natures are constantly being torn between right and wrong?
The creation myth is that God created human beings in his likeness, but the mere insertion of them from the supernatural (God's home) into the natural (our earthly home) led them to temptation and then a "fallen" status. Although this may be a "mythological" explanation, is it not true?
People say, why do we need government? Why do we need law? Why not let everyone be free to follow their nature?
The answer may be "because our nature is fallen".
