Everyone is good at heart

NOT!

New Reality
The Bentness of Human Nature

In 1961, psychologist Stanley Milgram devised a now-infamous series of experiments. The goal was to understand why seemingly ordinary men carried out the demonic orders of the Third Reich. In Milgram’s experiments, a volunteer was told to administer electric shocks to another “volunteer” when he answered a question incorrectly. The victim was an actor—there was no electricity. But with each failure, a more powerful the shock was ordered. When volunteers hesitated, an authority figure prodded them, starting with “please continue” and escalating to “you have no other choice, you must go on.” These words were enough for two-thirds of the volunteers to administer what they believed was a fatal shock. When Milgram published the results, the response was outrage, both over the implications of the experiment and Milgram’s methods. Given the notoriety of the Milgram experiments, you’d expect that, if they were repeated today, the results would be different. Well, you would be wrong.

"None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." [Rom 3:10b-12 ESV]
