Why I believe in God...
... revenge is part of human nature...so why and how are people able to forgive?

... laziness is part of human nature...so why do we value diligence, honor and faithfulness...
Jesus Himself said that His disciples will be known by the love that they have for one another. It's what's inside us that comes out of us and we can't hide it all- good or bad.
