Am I evil? Yes, I am
Am I evil? I am man, yes, I am

This question has come to my mind a bit more as of late. My friend actually asked something similar and I referenced the song. It’s a disturbing thought and inflames a particular line of thinking I’ve been having lately about the Christian faith. Within the context of faith, I probably am evil (in a sense), but that doesn’t seem fully congruent with how I see myself. I do catch myself having the thought that I am, but it’s based on the backdrop of my moral upbringing.
