Are humans essentially good or bad?

Humans are dualistic, both good and bad, because?

  • a. Zeus made humans b. Zeus created humans out of the ashes of Titans and Dionysus c. Zeus killed the Titans d. Zeus made humans from Dionysus

  • Answer:

    b. Zeus created humans out of the ashes of Titans and Dionysus "In another version of the story, which ties Dionysus even more closely to the sacred mysteries, Dionysus was son of Zeus and Persephone, queen of the underworld. The jealous Hera this time sent the Titans to rip the child to pieces, by distracting it with toys and mirrors. After they’d dismembered him, the Titans ate all the pieces – except the heart, which was saved. Zeus destroyed the Titans with lightning, and it was out of their ashes that humanity was created. The heart was to impregnate Semele, who gave birth to Dionysus again. (In either version of the story, Dionysus was ‘twice born’ – a title that would later be used frequently in conjunction with his role in the sacred mysteries, initiates of which were said to be ‘born again.’) This story has been interpreted as the founding myth for ancient spiritual traditions, in particular Orphism: it explains why ‘sin’ or evil came into the world, and how humans are special in creation. “Our nature therefore is twofold, born of Titans, wicked sons of earth, but there is in us something of a heavenly nature too, since there went to our making fragments of the body of Dionysus, son of Olympian Zeus, on whom the Titans had made their impious feast (Orpheus and Greek Religion, Guthrie, 83)" http://www.holyblasphemy.net/jesus-and-dionysus-similarities/pagan-christs

No offense I'm not a Christian but I've been wondering for ages and a little nervous to ask my friends about this but How can a human create another human? I mean Jesus is a human right! He lived on earth and has needs just like we do right! So how did he create us if even many others existed before him. Anywho humans are all good it's just that their desires take over sometimes because they're weak. Like people might kill other people because they want money! And so on. But there's good in everyone. As mean as they could be there's always something good about them.
