Are Humans Inherently Greedy?

Ahhh I see, this "Jesus" person is something like the greek Zeus.

It would be delightful! Nothing better than a bit of fiction before bed!

Wow, Nick, your level of ignorance amazes me. Don't mock people for what they believe. How do you know this never happened? Like you said in another post "just because you werent there doesnt mean it didnt happen" (i dont remember the whole quote, but you get the idea).

Wow, Jordan, your pretentiousness amazes me. Do go ahead and show me how the Christian Deity(deities) is any different than the Greek deities. Also, there is no historical account of it ever occuring anywhere. The "bible" which is a collection of accounts from various people, written or at least put together at least one hundred years after his supposed death is by no means historical evidence for his existence. One would think such a figure would be accounted in a variety of other sources outside the New Testament from the time period in which he was purported to exist, sadly he is not.

Just because you weren't there doesn't mean it did happen either.

All I was saying was that you shouldn't bash someone for their beliefs by compairing them to a "fairy tail" because you think otherwise. I personally dont have any views on religion, but no one is mocking what you believe. You dont necessarily need solid evidence to believe in something.

Exactly you dont need evidence to believe it, which makes it just as valid as a fairy tale, which also has NO evidence.

Jordan isn't even attempting to prove that it did happen.

Human greediness can be observed on a T.V. show known as Deal or No Deal

Why not explain what about it can be observed as greedy, so as to provoke more discussion?

Simple, a person walks into the show wanting money. It doesn't mean the person has no money, however the person needs it. Throughtout the show, contestants are to open various kinds of suitcases containing different values, until the remiaing one is left while the player holds one. Through the whole opening suitcase thing, some unknown character offers the contestant various amounts of money depending on the values left in the unopened suitcases. The highest amount is usually $500,000, sometimes $1,000,000. If the case containing the higher amount is not open, the player is holding that amount, presumably. The unknown character offers the contestant money in order to buy the case from the holder. That being said, I have personally seen people turn down huge amounts of money, about $800,000 or even more, and ended up getting but $1.

No, it's merely a Deadly Sin.

Greed, it is the cause of mostly every problem in America...
