It is not a flame, and my question stands, and it derives from personal (not so positive) experiences: why be good?

You can't be good, no matter how hard you try. Just one bad XXes out all the good, and you can bet there are more than just one. You can only be or not be. Only The God is good (Jesus said). That is the answer, Hamlet.

You can’t be good,no matter how hard you try? What about all the honest people of this world? Hmm? The ones who are honest and pure-of-heart? The ones who help those in need?

One “bad” crosses out all the good? Really? People make mistakes. People make bad choices but that does not necessarily mean they are terrible.

I thought we wee made in G-d’s image. Why would He create humans who are low-down,dishonest,good-for-nothing cretins?

This is the Total Depravity theology,isn’t it?

Thank G-d I’m a Jew because if this is what Christianity teaches then I want no part of it.
