I realize the selfish/selfless polarity is built into In Nomine, but
it's not really the core of Christian ethics, or those of any other
Abrahamic religion. (And, with all the details taken from Revelation,
In Nomine has more coloring from Chrisianity than from any other
religion.)
The core of Christian ethics is love, charity.
The core of Jewish ethics is righteousness.
The core of Moslem ethics is obedience.
The selflessness bit is a low-octane version of charity. Start
considering that instead of selflessness and you may still get
paradoxes, but I bet they're not quite the same paradoxes.
