LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Communism screws up and destroys and kills everything it touches, Christian and pagan.  In pagan China, the duty of filial piety (aka “Honor your Father and your Mother” and the corresponding duties to children) was a pillar of natural law.  The Commies, of course, destroyed it as they destroy everything good.  With the One Child Policy (praised by Murder Inc. here in the States), the duty to children was brutally murdered.  With the rise of consumer communist culture that combines the ugliest features of godless communism and godless consumerist capitalitism, what goes around comes around and now the children of One Child China feel no duty to their parents.  Consequently, the Commies discover the truth of Chesterton’s remark that those who reject the 10 Commandments will get the 10,000 Commandments:

Pay a visit to Grandma and Grandpa—or else they’ll see you in court. In China, a new law went into effect on Monday requiring people to care for their elderly parents, with provisions calling for children to see them regularly, or at least call on the phone. The law is intended “to protect the lawful rights and interests of parents aged 60 and older, and to carry on the Chinese virtue of filial piety,” the official China Daily newspaper reports, and the legislation gives seniors leverage to use on offspring. “Parents whose children live apart from them and fail to visit regularly can ask for mediation or file a lawsuit,” the newspaper says.

What if grown-up children don’t live nearby? The new law takes care of that, with a requirement for employers to allow workers time off from work to visit their elderly parents—although, as Bloomberg News reported when the amendments to the law passed last December, nothing in the legislation specifies how often the visits should be. The law enables the elderly to seek legal recourse and prohibits “discrimination, insult, ill-treatment and abandonment” of the aged.

So now the Commies have to pass little laws to fix the immense damage they caused by ignoring one big one.

We’re attempting exactly the same things.  We will face similar disastrous results.

But in our case, we are abandoning the Faith, while the Chinese are embracing it.  My money’s on China in the long run if that continues.
