How did these people come to harbor such great hatred,
insensitivity and ruthlessness? How did they come to be such

murderers and enemies of the human race? The manifest
answer is that people educated in the light of Darwinist teach-
ings, who regard human beings as no more than animals, who
imagine life as a battleground, and who believe that all forms of
evil are justified in the struggle for survival will inevitably con-
stitute a ruthless social order. Those who deny that man is creat-
ed and possesses a soul breathed into him by God, who refuse to
regard their fellow humans as valuable entities with reason and
conscience, and who regard them as no different than animals
and plants, will naturally be unaffected by mass murder and the
sufferings of the helpless. When such people think that harm
might come to them or their own interests, they can easily kill
others, feeling no pity or compassion, or abandon them to a life
of poverty and unhappiness. One cannot expect such a heartless
individual to protect the sick, help the needy, or engage in altru-
istic behavior. Such a person will not even protect his ailing and
elderly parents. He will regard caring for his handicapped
brother as a waste of time, energy and money. If this diseased

world view spreads, then everyone—administrators to family
members, from doctors to teachers—will behave under its influ-
ence. It is impossible for such virtues as altruism, patience, com-
passion, affection, respect or devotion to apply in societies that
do not live by religious moral values, whose lack has always
brought destruction and catastrophe.
