I did not say we are nothing apart from our society...you did. I said we are ‘intra’dependent...meaning we do have a choice to be a part of society or not. The point is you are implying that man can live without God...I am saying that man cannot even breath apart from God...whether He acknowleges that or not..God blesses who he will and it is not dependent on man believing..rather on the very goodness of God toward man.

Do you, really? I didn't mean just 'a society'. I meant any society. Can you truly survive without the security provided by your fellow men?

What I implied was that man cannot live without society at the level of success that he enjoys today, as a species. Wherever you are, the operating rule is that if you aren't part of a society that is benevolent towards your existence within it, you won't survive for very long, much less go on to reproduce and have a survivable population of descendants.
