ecause next <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>se values <strong>the</strong> State appeared in sharp<br />
contrast as being demeaning and barbaric.<br />
From <strong>the</strong> time of Abraham, Jews were committed <strong>to</strong><br />
preserve what was known as <strong>the</strong> "Seven Commandments of<br />
The Sons of Noah," 6 which includes prohibitions against<br />
homicide (including abortion and euthanasia), incestuous<br />
sexual relations, <strong>the</strong>ft, blasphemy and idolatry, and demands<br />
that governments pass laws such as providing for Capital<br />
Punishment <strong>to</strong> uphold <strong>the</strong>se laws. Laws in Hebrew are called<br />
dinim, which are so linked with government that <strong>the</strong> Hebrew<br />
word for government is medina, which literally means "derived<br />
from law".<br />
The anti<strong>the</strong>sis of all this is <strong>the</strong> a<strong>the</strong>istic Communist state,<br />
which murders and curtails free religious expression among its<br />
citizens, encourages sexual depravity and immorality in its<br />
societies, and attracts in its revolutionary onset many<br />
followers, because it offers <strong>the</strong>m group sanctification of illicit<br />
sexual relationships such as adultery and homosexuality. Thus<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is not one single Communist government in <strong>the</strong> world in<br />
which religion can be practiced freely without interference.<br />
This is a consequence of believing religion <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong> <strong>opiate</strong> of<br />
<strong>the</strong> people, which according <strong>to</strong> Marx's Manifes<strong>to</strong>, logically calls<br />
for <strong>the</strong> elimination of <strong>the</strong> <strong>opiate</strong>.<br />
