Can someone be born evil?

100%

I think so yes. My stepfather who's been in my life since forever, comes from a family that could never appreciate his intellect for one thing, instead he took after his grandfather entirely. While my stepfather was a successful independent lawyer, his brother went to prison for raping and murdering a young woman, when he himself was in his mid 30s. He had a son that I would spend time with during christmas, when we were both kids. The son was a couple years younger than me, and actually toom quite a liking to me, but I despised him. I wasn't able to tell why at that age, and this was of course before we knew what kind of man his father, my stepfathers brother, is. The kid was sleezy, if I had to describe him in one word. He was odd, but not in the "on the spectrum" kind of way. He would steal and do things he wasn't allowed to do, then blame me, despite following me around and talking happily to me all the time. My parents did not like him either. Admittedly I have no idea what happened to that kid, but since my stepfather never mentioned him again after we stopped going there for christmas, despite his father visiting us on occasion, I doubt anything good happened to him. I think he grew up to be very similar to his father, and I wholeheartedly believe that bad genes simply ran in that family. My stelfathers mother and father believed that his brother was innocent until the day they died, despite there being irrisputable proof; as a lawyer my stepfather obviously read his case, even though he wasn't involved in it. I know people like to blame circumstances but the family never struggled, there was no substance abuse, nothing like that. Just bad genes. /=

I think they make choices that can turn into evil.

I knew a 10yo who used to catch pigeons, plug a tiny wooden stick in their butt hole and let them go while smiling. He had multiple felonies by 17. By 19 he was in jail for aggravated assault. Almost unalived a man.
I don't think he even knew how evil he was as a kid.

Karma. Lucky to get a human rebirth. But they do have choices.

No I think a mixture of upbringing and life experiences make this happen.

Or can you point out the evil babies?

not by born physically but after got enough sense of mental way many turn in to evil

Good people do good things, bad people do bad things. But it takes religion for good people to do bad things.

Just look no further than socialist politicians and liberals in general.

Yes. There's something not right with their brain.

I don't think they are necessarily born evil, but they may have certain inheritable traits that predispose in that direction. Someone with a lack of empathy, for example, will find it easier to be evil but they could be raised with a framework of logically morality that ends up preventing that outcome.

Your born a blank slate. You learn how to react to most things by example when your very young.

Perhaps.. bad influences and spirits and fate

No, it's the course of events that decide what we end up as. That's my take on it.

I don't know, but I don't think so. After being a human so long, I think people just turn into shit for whatever reason or excuse.

I suppose so -- not sure if "evil" is anything more than a subjective judgement, but human beings can definitely be born without empathy, sympathy, or a sense of right and wrong and they grow up to perpetrate "evil" acts.

Come on, a newborn can't even see properly, they are still developing as their first days go by. Nobody can be born good or evil, as there's very little to even judge a personality by. The only thing that comes to my mind is whether they are energetic, calm or lethargic.

Born is only the beginning as their brains develop maybe the parts that contain things like empathy or a conscience don't develop .Never seen an evil newborn but have seen evil 2 year olds

Born to gravitate to doing or thinking wrong or bad yes. Born bad

Yes
