Humans are absolutely selfish creatures, I won't argue that. I think we're in agreement here, that our basic instinct is survival and that's what most people tend to operate on as a base. Then personality and decisions flow from there.

For me a lot of this is breaking the conditioning. Unfortunately the cabal exploits the church as well, but really that is nothing new. At the end of the day, we are to love others as unconditionally as possible. When God wants His Laws set, He will come and do it. Until then following Him is a personal choice and conviction. His Word isn't supposed to be uses to beat people over the head with.

But at this point, I think I'm preaching to the choir mostly.
