Yes, we are complicated beings. We are both selfish and kind and even selfless at times. Tho' I am not a believer, one of good things religion provides is something outside oneself to value, to believe in.

Without Jesus, I'm Nothing = 299
Related phrases to The Subject = 299
Theism itself also goes in the other direction... providing something inside of oneself to value as a spiritual extension of what it means to be "Human".
