    "God is a god of love."

    "Love is not jealous."

    According to this "logic" the emotion of jealousy is "wrong". I didn't know that emotions had a moral character like right and wrong. Therapists are preaching from the top of their lungs that emotions just are... and are neither good or bad.

    Dysfunctional social systems will try to place a moral certitude on emotions to control .... "shame on you for being angry with God's Organization."

    If I am a loving person, can I never be jealous? "Shame on me for experiencing jealousy".

    Mankind is not inherently morally imperfect--man has to be taught that.

    This statement confuses me...

    Nature has no objective "morals", and so I suppose it's fair to say that we have to be taught
    that we are "broken", but your statement seems to imply that left to their own natural devices
    mankind would be MORE "moral" than they are today.

    What is this claim based on?
