Civilization is a construct which most of us agree to partake in. We make our own lives better by participating in activities the civilization deems to be beneficial. Western civilization was built upon the framework of Christianity and has proven to be one of the most successful civilizations ever constructed. One of the corner posts of Christianity has always been the belief that every human has certain rights from the moment we are conceived.
A communist regime would not allow someone to say the types of thing he says about basic beliefs of the civilization. He would be jailed or executed. I wonder if he realizes the irony. If he wants to talk about humans as a bag of meat, that's his right, but he's only able to say it in public because Christians are tolerant of free speech.
Amen to the good history lesson.
