OK starboy, enough of the straw man - you're better than that.

The scientific ideas of kis selection and altruism explain *why* apperantly selfless acts are in fact selfish.

I reiterate - I hold that there are no selfless acts past an extranious and ridiculous possibility afforded by a religion. I am not trying to claim by this that religion gives it's followers any enhances ability to be altruistic - no religious person would excercise the ability to be selfless. The exception proves the rule. No sane being, religious or otherwise would be selfless.


Fixed ideas are like a cramp in the foot - the best remedy against it is to tread on it.
