On the contrary. The Bible points out that ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is None righteous, not one. The Epistle to the Romans chapter one shows us graphically that there is very little difference between mankind since the beginning. "Progress" in the form of education, technology, industrialization, have not changed the fact that ours is a fallen nature. It also teaches us to hate the sin, but love the sinner. For those who realize that there is no place for self righteousness.

I'm done BTW, I'll defer to you for the last word.
