Okay, everybody just consider something for a second, take all the bullshit out of the context when you consider this and simply evaluate the action.
The usage of nuclear weapons during World War II.
We are a supposedly "Christian nation", yes? If Christianity cannot prevent someone from dropping a God damned nuclear bomb on hundreds of thousands of people I propose it is 100% worthless. Christianity is bullshit, I think we can all agree with that, there's nothing holy about the Bible, there's likely no God, yadda yadda yadda, therefore the only value in religion is how it influences people, ideally in a positive manner; be it public or private. And yet, it failed to prevent perhaps the single most devastating action humans have been able to commit to this point.
Anyone who believes they are Christian and somehow supports the nuclear bombs' usage ask yourself this -- under any circumstances, for any reason, period, would Jesus Christ have used the nuclear bomb?
Either you answer no, and remain in sync with your beliefs, or yes, and you acknowledge the shortcoming of the thought and its incompatibility with the real world.
We need a new religion and it starts in this thread.
First commandment: no nukes.
that's weak. What about the genocide of the Native Americans? Were the puritans able to prevent that when they came over here? No.
