If you're a christian, then obviously it's not a virtue. I don't operate under the christian value system however and selfishness is a virtue under the one I do follow.

You do not get to choose what is or is not a virtue. Virtues, morals, values are culturally ascribed and not decided upon by individuals. Perhaps you should return to school and educate yourself.

Ah, so you're a moral relativist.

Morals are objective, they're the same no matter where you are or what culture you're in.
