What do you guys associate to human nature? This has come to my head I was learning again about Thomas Hobbes. He was the first individual to disassociate basic concept (justice, equality...) from human nature. I guess you can through a bit of religion in the topic, as long as you explain how it came to be if it's not by nature.

Gullibility, groupthink, irrationality, and intolerance bordering on the psychopathic.

I guess the will to live, jealousy, anger, sadness, ect. I guess basic emotions, with a bit of compassion.

We have our survival instinct just like every other species but now let's put emotions into the mix. This I guess, brings the survival instinct up-to a bit more advanced version of it which we know as selfishness or self-interest... Very unrefined, yet it makes some sense to me...

Sin....brought into the world by us, when tempted by the devil, who originally rebelled with the Fallen Angels because of his pride.

So if all life in the universe were to cease to exist, would it be a sinful place?

No. But it would still be affected by the result of our sin. Unless it was recreated.....

But there would be an absence of obedience in a universe with no life to obey, so by your previous comment it would be sinful.
