By the standards of Complete Depravity, we are good. This is the standard by which we prefer to compare ourselves, because we come out "smelling like a rose". You will see even serial killers on death row doing this. We ALL do it.
However, sadly...
That is not the standard by which we will be accepted. Since God is perfect, He cannot accept anything less than perfection. That is called Holiness. It is the opposite of Complete Depravity. We hate to compare ourselves to His perfection because we know we fall far short.
But there is One who took on our lack of goodness and gives us imputed Righteousness. We did nothing to deserve this--we can DO nothing to deserve this. It is a free gift.
So that was the long answer. The short answer: are we good? Well, we're made in the image of God, so we're not depraved. But we don't have Holiness. We can attain imputed righteousness however: "And this not of ourselves, lest anyone should boast."--Ephesians 2:8-9

I've met some real assholes in my lifetime. And I've met some very polite, humble, people in my lifetime.
Something we see quite a bit of is government trying to legislate morality. Well, you can't do that. That won't work. Not only that, but government is the most biased, forceful, entity in existence.This is, itself, anti-moral.
Nope. The moral character of the people must dictate the laws. Not the other way around.
But look who is in office. I mean, really. If that doesn't demonstrate the erosion of virtue in society, I don't know what does. Here's a guy who likes to get spanked on his bottom by porn stars. Here's a guy who openly brags about using his power to grab poonanies whenever he feels like it. Sheesh. Here's a guy who says take guns first, and due process later.
It reminds me of a great quote. Henry Mencken, it was. He was an old newspaper guy. What Henry had said, and correctly so if we're paying attention, was that ''...as democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people, On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.''
We have the chioce to be either, but we are not inherently good or bad.To answer this question, we should first define what "good" means to each of us, and then answer.
