Something has gone wrong within the human race
Most of the misery we suffer on this planet is the fruit of the human heart gone bad
God created us to reflect his glory

- Jews try to keep the Law
- Buddhist follow the Eightfold Path
- Muslims live by the Five Pillars
- Many Christians attend church and live morally
Out of the heart comes all sorts of evil - Matthew 15:19
