"All traditional Christians agree that human beings have a biblically certified and empirically demonstrable bias towards evil. We are all both complicitous in and molested by the evil of our race. We both discover evil and invent it; we both ratify and extend it. ...
...We know that when we sin, we pervert, adulterate, and destroy good things. We create matrices and atmospheres of moral evil and bequeath them to our descendants. By habitual practices, we let loose a great, rolling momentum of moral and spiritual evil across generations. By doing such things, we involve ourselves deeply in what theologians call corruption" ("Not the Way It's Supposed to Be: A Breviary of Sin", Cornelius Plantinga Jr. pg. 26-27
