> We are strongly, strongly evolutionary oriented away from 'murder' - it's the original sin

Very strong statement given the massive killing of kettle and poultry per second.

Also given all the wars including those currently raging - I think is rather untrue.

Besides the killing a lion does is not over resources, it’s the resource itself.

Since you're using Biblical language, I just want to point out that you're not Biblically accurate. Murder isn't the original sin.

no for sure its not. its giving birth or rather - conception.

Psalm 51:5 — "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."

This is a pretty terrible misrepresentation of original sin. I see you managed to copy it straight out of the Wikipedia page and completely ignore the sentence before it:

> In Christian theology, original sin is the condition of sinfulness that all humans share, which they inherit from the the Fall of Adam and Eve. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_sin

what does it mean a condition of sinfulness, the tendency?

like, if you ask a theosophist, which a I did the other day, he claimed it is not about sexuality or human nature at all. It is the sin of attempting to create a reality without God.

so, go figure.
