Does the internet corrupt people or do people corrupt the internet?

Religion is a great brainwashing tool to hide your ulterior motives behind. Corrupt people can use religion to corrupt further people.

I don't think people are not inherintly evil, they are inherintly greedy, selfish, lazy, are group animals and have a thirst for getting 'even' aka revenge. That can lead to evil behaviour. Those are all evolutionary traits.

Call it evil, call it evolutionary, call it corrupt, call it evolutionary. Essentially people are greedy, selfish, lazy, and other things that lead to causing other people to be greedy, selfish, lazy, etc. (which is essentially corruption).

As religion is a great brainwashing tool, so is non-religious ideology, even pseudo-science.

And yet gain, on the flipside, religion is a cleansing tool, as is non-religious ideology, even pseudo-science.

Lol!
