Because helping those worse off than you is both a Christian and secular value that isn't subject to cost benefit analysis,
AND
the very definition of society is a group identity which forces things on it's membership deemed to be good. Happily, I live in a democracy where we can negotiate what those things are.
While not a Christian myself, I think Jesus was on to something, at least metaphorically, when he said what you do unto the least of your bretheren you do to me.
I hope you noticed I addressed your point.
Think of it as operant conditioning. Your last sentence was short, understandable and didn't over reach your ability to express yourself. Are you all aglow with the respect I've accorded you? Or do you feel more self actualized when I make fun of you?
On a side note, do you think it ironic that someone so concerned with national identity calls himself 'Der KulterKampf'?
