You have to be educated that you just don’t go and punch a stranger in the head and face for no reason at all?

Well -- yeah. We weren't born knowing this value, it is taught, particularly in Christianity, one of whose cornerstones is: Love others as you love yourself.

Wasn't it Marx who called religion "opium for the masses"? Yet communism and socialism are so threatened by said "opium" that they must persecute it; lack of it is necesssary for communism to function.

We've taken religion, especially America's Christian heritage, way too much for granted. We mistake as rights and givens the Christian moral foundations of our nation.
