It's spoonfeeding sunday on AF! Yay!!!
Here's what you said:
You were born naked and hungry and by some means you have to feed and clothe yourself with and without the help of parents. You're born selfish - babies are manipulative, greedy etc... you learn to coexist. No difference.
Let's begin:
You're comparing physical needs to human emotion, then somehow making a correlation that it is in the same realm of people having to deal with eternal hellfire given to them by God. That's like me saying you have to purge yourself of the aliens in your body installed in you by lord Xenu millions of years ago. It's no different than learning to coexist.
It's a non-sequitur argument. It makes no sense.
One is a function of human nature and development and can be demonstrated, the other is inferred by indoctrinated dogma during childhood. Distinct differences. Somehow I don't think you'll see my point.
As far as the selfish and manipulative comment, here you go:
