Isn’t the entire premise of Federalist Paper No 10 that all people are selfish and will form political factions based on shared geographical concerns / interests, and that the best way to prevent a tyranny of the majority is to therefore expand the size and scope of the American territorial region so that no faction can ever represent a majority of Americans?

Not one person is "good"
The idea that we are all born sinners is itself slander. Even a baby who died an hour after being born?
And clearly some people are more evil than others.
In my experience, the notion that we are all sinners is one of the most obviously true things about Christianity. I am constantly doing things I detest, including sometimes being uncharitable, condescending, or rude on here. I try and try again, but my efforts to live up to my own moral baseline keep coming up short. I suspect the same is true for you.
I understand the intuitive appeal of your point about babies. They're so cute that it feels absurd (and sort of mean or comical) to point at one and say "sinner!" To that, let me make two observations. First, your point seems to assume that sin is in some sense a function of time, as if a sin committed at 9 am simply does not exist at 8 am. I'm not so sure that's right. If God is real-- and I submit that He is-- it's not safe to assume His knowledge (or love or grace) is constrained by time in the same way yours is. The Bible is filled with prophecies, and that to me is a big hint that how you think about time and how God interacts with it are not easily compared. Second, I think your observation not unreasonably presupposes that sin is a departure from a baseline. But you seem to suppose that baseline is a baby's capabilities and not God's perfection. I think that assumption needs tweaking. It is quite right that God knows our weaknesses and has compassion on us for them. But I don't think that compassion means decreeing sinful things not to be sins (though I'm certainly not prepared to tell you what a baby's sins are). Here's a somewhat more concrete illustration of the logic underlying this statement: I think any serious criminologist will tell you there can be a biological basis to criminality in at least some circumstances, and the unremarkable observation that most crimes are committed by men provides some reason to think that testosterone is a piece of the puzzle. But would anyone ever suggest that high-testosterone men should be given reduced sentences because it's harder for them to avoid committing crimes? Of course not. Justice, then, is not ignoring sin; it is, if anything, in forgiving it, as God did when He died to forgive our sins.
I suspect you are not a Christian. I'd just ask you to entertain the notion that something happened shortly after the death of Jesus of Nazareth that led the ex-members of an obscure desert cult to re-adopt the religious views they'd been shedding and then to travel to the ends of the earth, with great success, sharing their views. In my opinion, that event was quite likely the resurrection of the Jesus, the Messiah.
Jesus lived and died 2000 years ago just like any other living and dying being from 2000 years ago. He was an interesting person and then he was murdered. Time to move on.
Well, that's not quite right. Even if He's not God, it's absurd to say that he "lived...just like any other" person. He is by any objective measure among the most consequential people to have ever lived. The question is whether there is more to the story than that.
Yes, he was consequential. People used his life story to promote their power and to police society.

Nothing I said was false. The confederacy was created by the democrats. The KKK was created by democrats.
Jefferson Davis, the leader of the confederacy was ... a democrat.
Nathan bedford Forrest, the first grand wizard of the KKK was a democrat.
Democrats today are siding with Islam againt Isreal. That's a pretty nazi thing to do.
Democrats are for abortion and transitioning kids. That goes against the teachings of Christianity.
Nothing I said was/is false.
You distort reality to fit your messed up world views. And accuse others of what you are actually guilty of.
🤣🤣🤣 You could have saved a lot of space by just typing “I have never read a history book and don’t understand how political parties in the US have evolved over time”.
If the Confederacy and the KKK were soooooo Democratic, how come MAGA proudly festoons their trucks and clothing with Confederate flags? Why does MAGA get so bent out of shape when statues of supposedly “Democratic” icons like Stonewall Jackson get pulled down?
I bet you also think the “Holy Roman Empire” was Roman. It’s right there in the name!!
+1...look no further than Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond, segregation politicians who started off as Democrats until the Civil Rights movement took hold in the 1960s and then became Republicans. These guys didn't change - the parties changed around them.
And both parties continue to use and abuse minority factions of people to their benefit today. So sad.

The post with bible citations from the Gospels is the most relevant one here. Please join he adults and start paying attention rather than trying to engage in childish trolling.
