Could you please describe how 'enlightened self interest' is a Christian tenet?

God gave us free will but if we screw up we go to you know where. Remember the apple Eve ate? God gave her the choice.

This reminds me of Kevin Kline's version of Buddhism in 'A fish called Wanda'

How clever. You must live on the planet Academia.

There is no reasoanble connection with enlightened self interest as a concept.

Let me guess; my username was your first clue.
