Reason number 3, 459 why I do not believe in the good of humanity:

As reported in The Economist on the strife in the Central African Republic from 2002-2003:

The sexual violence was particularly brutal. For the first time the court is investigating a situation where the number of rape victims exceeds the number of murders (JN note: not necessarily something to boast about)...He has detailed accounts from at least 600 rape victims, including children, old women, and men. Many were gang-raped, often in public.

Couldn’t agree more sir. We are totally depraved.

Total Depravity. Not Partial Depravity. Not “well, we’re all basically good.” No. Total Depravity. Total rebellion. Total corruption. And hence, statistics like the one you listed. Maranatha!

God bless!
