35082Yhd213In 2016 a British boy comes to his dad,

A
LIBERAL MP,
and asks, 'DAD,
WHY SHOULD WE CARE
ABOUT THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF MUSLIMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST?'
The father puts down his cup of tea, thinks for a moment, and says, "Well, Duncan,
that's how the world works! You are still young and don't yet understand, but all humans,
even Muslims in the Middle East, have the same nature & therefore enjoy the same human rights.
This isn't my idea, nor a decision of Parliament. If Parliament had created the world, universal human
rights might well have been buried in some subcommittee along with all that quantum physics stuff?!!
But Parliament didn't create the world, it just tries to make sense of it, & wé MÙST respect the natural
rights éven of Muslims in the Middle East, or very soon maybe also óur ówn rights will also be violated,
and wé wìll come to a bad end! Now off you go." Liberals, communists & followers of most other modern
fashionable creeds dislike describing their own system as a 'religion', because they identify religion with
superstitions & supernatural powers! If you tell communists or liberals that they are religious, they think
you are accusing them of blindly believing in groundless pipe dreams? In fact, it means only that they do
believe in some system of moral laws that wasn't invented by humans, but that humans nevertheless obey.
As far as we know, all human societies believe in this! Every society tells its members that they must obey
some superhuman moral law, and that breaking this law wìll resùlt in catastrophe. Religions differ of course
in the details of their stories, their concrete commandments, & the rewards & punishments they promise...
Thus in medieval Europe the Roman Catholic Church argued that God doesn't like rich people?! For 'Jesus'
said that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to pass through
the gates of heaven!? To help rich people enter God's kingdom, this RC church encouraged them to give
lots of alms, threatening that all misers wìll bùrn ìn hèll! Modern communism also dislikes rich peopld, but
ìt threatens them with class conflict here & now, rather than with burning sulphur after death. Communist
laws of history are similar to the commandments of The Christian God, inasmuch as they are superhuman
forces that humans cannot change at will. Humans can decide tomorrow morning to cancel the offside rule
in football, because we invented that law & áre fréé to change ìt?! However, at least according to Marx, we
cannot change the laws of history!? No matter what the capitalists do, as long as they continue to accumu-
late private property théy áre bóund to create class conflict & are destined to be defeated by the rising pro-
letariat?!! If you happen to be a communist yourself, you might argue that communism and Christianity are
nevertheless very different because communism ìs right, whereas Christianity is wrong. Class conflict really
ìs inherent in the capitalist system, but the rich don't in fact suffer eternal tortures in hell after they dó díe!
Yet even if that is the case, it doesn't mean communism s not a religion?
Rather, it means that communism ìs thé òne trúe
religion! Followers of every religion áre
usually convinced thàt théirs alóne
ìs trúe. Perhaps the
followers of one
religion ÁRE
correct.
