"The natural man is an enemy to God." I find that ridiculous. Consider Maslow's heirarchy of need. We must be selfish in order to exist. Once our basic needs are met, we rise up to the next level until we reach the top.

Thomas Jefferson stressed the basic needs of the natural man and our constitution demands that we be allowed the rights and powers allotted to us by God. The natural man is heralded as the ultimate in humanity by our founding fathers and by YHWH.
