Don't presume to speak for me.
"the law" can not be selfish, as it has no "self"
Children also have little understanding of self, and thus consent to acts upon their self, which is why we protect them. Identity comes with expirience.
Yes, the Judeo-Christian-islamic view of God is a selfish God. Infact the Jealous God of the bible requires a hefty portion of selfishness. Jealous God, Vengeful God, are hallmarks of a Selfish God. Good thing, I believe at least, God's not Jewish.
the law is made by men, are you saying jim crow laws weren't selfish? The law itself is not selfish, but what it is is dependent on the creater, our lawmakers in congress, who are infinitely selfish... abramoff scandal, creating laws that benefit themselves..
Btw you said this..
Selfishness is not wanting to share what you have,

Greed and selfishness are a human trait, comparing us to animals is not applicable here, neither is your extremelyl creepy comment about sex with children, and I would think that God knows better than to share power with greedy and selfish humans. we don't know how to handle the power that we have as it is.
greed and selfishness are human traits... what planet are you from? Examine any group of animals extensively, they have a social hierarchy, greed and selfishness comes hand in hand. Gorillas who conquer other tribes and kill the young then take the females, we exibit animal behavior bill.
Human were evil before any kind of currency, animals who doesn't have anything close to currency are evil, read the lucifier principle.
Male gorillas for example, will fight for the right to mate, the dominating silverback will mate with all the females he can, while the males who have lost sometimes do not have offsprings. However sometimes the dominating silverback is challenged by another gorilla, and the challenger wins the fight and all the loser's many wives, the first thing he does is kill all the offsprings, the baby gorillas, who were fathered by the loser, and then he proceeds to mate with all the females.
We cannot be compare humans to animals? You say money is the birth of evil, while animals who were never influenced by the violent media or currency as valuables are far more selfish and greedy than we are..
Primative humans committed the same crimes the gorillas in my above paragraph did...
The love of money is not the root of evil, but the revolution of humanity, because it drives us to accomplish the most we possibly can, an incentive for the greats.
Without currency, we would've never had the industrial revolution, where currency was essential for it to work. The love of money drove Samuel Slater to memorize the design of the British textile factories, the love of money made him escape back to the US and built a textile mill.... the love of money forged great nations..
The love of money has like anything else the bad side, but it's benefits completely outweighs the horrible deeds driven by the love of money.
