For members of Abraham religions, to condemn egoism is to blaspheme.

What is god’s cause? Does he attend to the cause of another as we lowly humans attend to the cause of god? No, god attends to god’s cause, which we are called to serve. What is god’s cause? God’s cause is truth and love, he himself is truth and love. God cares only for what is his, busies himself only with himself, thinks only of himself, and has only himself before his eyes. He serves no higher person than himself. His cause is an egoistic cause.

Look at the king who so lovingly serves his people. his people. Say you want nothing to do with god, and not rebuke this claim on your deathbed, and god shall toss you aside to burn for eternity.

So you see, when you tell someone they are bad for being selfish, you are telling god he is bad. Condemn egoism and you condemn your god!

How is telling someone not to be egotistical the same as telling God not to be egotistical when the human should be serving the egotistical God.
