Aren't premoral sentiments another proof of how wrong the Bible is? - sympathy sentiments
Social animals such as monkeys, dolphins and elephants, to what Michael Shermer calls "pre-moral feelings show," as vital to the development of complex civilizations that we see today. Pre-moral emotions include:
Attachment and bonding, cooperation and mutual assistance, solidarity and compassion, the direct and indirect reciprocity, altruism and reciprocal altruism, conflict resolution and peacemaking, the detection of fraud and deception, community concerns and worries about what others think of you, and awareness and the answer to the social norms of the group.
If we stop teaching practice and content of the Bible, for example, things like:
No one does good, not even one. (Romans 3v10-12)
The human heart is wicked and deceitful above all things, who knows? (Jeremiah 17v9)
... as totally false.

It took a while, but I understand you really like feud.You not the right idea?
The heart of man is not perfect, what is bad. We are continually sin, and there is nothing to do. This text is not to say "All men are bad and can not be trusted." The intention is that the power of evil is there, and we must realize.
