Sorry, but I think if you look at most religions throughout time, or at most of the enduring social norms in societies, you'll see the impetus toward life and away from death.

Sorry, but I believe you are wrong when it comes to human society.

The impetus is toward protecting the self and the tribe (i.e., the immediately related group) and the other be damned.

"The impetus is toward protecting the self and the tribe (i.e., the immediately related group) and the other be damned."

I don't see how that's at all inconsistent with what I've been saying, so unless you sharpen your argument it sounds like you're disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing.
