Oh contraire... when i said we had to decide whether it was worth the investment, Japov mentioned greed.
In other words keep taking from God. Not give up sin.
But if there is no God, you're doing what comes naturally, with nobody telling you not to.
A wild animal is not being greedy hunting down two animals to eat. They are there, and in it's mind, they are food for today and tommorow.
Sinning is not greed if nobody is defining what your sin is. It doesnt exist without God.
A wild animal operates on need and instinct. Human beings possess reason. Greed can be reasoned. And has been reasoned in and of itself without a reference to a God. There is a big different in what is reasonable to expect from an animal that can reason and one that cannot. That should go without saying. Dont believe me? Read some Aristotle. He got a lot right a long time ago. Over the Middle Ages, Christianity adopted a good deal of his reasoning. They didn't claim it but they did.

"The great thing about a dream come true, is that it is born with a great appetite. That appetite keeps it growing and evolving and it swallows up all those other dreams you have and spits them back out as reality as well." -Brian Austin Whitney
