Nuclear War: What would you do

I was not alive during world war 2 but heard of pearl harbor and how we in the USA got pulled into it. I think we have a very terrible thing going on right now. and I hope someone replaces the present leadership in North Korea before we do end up in war

I really don't know if I was expecting that type of answer but in mylot it's free speech just in america and if that is how you want to spend your last minutes, hours..that is fine.. hopefully we wont ever have to worry about such thingss

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make light of a very serious and potentially devastating situation. In all seriousness I certainly hope and pray we never have to find out what we'd REALLY do but from things I've heard and read I think the best thing that could happen would be to die right at the first blast. I wouldn't want to be one of only a few people to have a bomb shelter because life would never be the same.

I forget where I heard the phrase, but, "the living would envy the dead" is likely to be true in a nuclear aftermath.

I have been browsing through some historical pages and looking at the after effects of Heroshima.. I don't think any bad deed deserves another..I know that Japan came across and bombed us first at Peal Harbor..but don't know that those we killed equalled those we lost..It's just a terrible thing: War.

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in a sneak attack and at the time the United States was nuetral concerning the war in the Pacific. While the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were devastating, it ended the war and prevented the further loss of American lives. Was it bad? Sure. Was it justified? Totally!

I really don't say killing of innocent is ever justified..it was retaliation..but that so many lives..innocent were taken..how can you say this is justification? How can anyone who loves life say death is justified in any form?

It was not retalliation. It was a pre-planned excercise that could have been halted by the Japanese if they agreed to cease hostilities. they chose not to end the war so we made it too costly for them to continue. God bless the women and children who died but every soldier was once a child and came from a mother!

Two wrongs never make a right..God never made men and women to fight each other..it's not the way God wants it.

Not the way God wants it?
Kids are starving in Africa.
Natural disasters wipe out whole communities and leave people suffering.
Children die.
People suffer.
Stuff happens.
I don't really think God's listening to us say this is not what He wants. Everything happens for a reason and has a purpose, His purpose, whether good or bad.
I tried to complain but it seems His inbox is full and He's not returning calls which question His will and purpose.
Therefore I am not inclined to believe that this is not what He wants.

Did you ever stop to consider that just maybe, God accidentally sent a busload of angels to these cities and decided it was time for them to come home so He had Japan attack Pearl Harbor to set in motion the events which transpired?

Probably not and neither did I till just now. The point is, what God wants or does not want is evident everyday when things happen whether they are good or bad because He has the power to stop them if it's not what He wants! Your statement simply supports the fact that we do not want our God to want such things because we do not understand nor like them!

God gave us all free will ..He will not put food in our mouth but provides it..
We know right from wrong..God is not be blamed for misuse of our free will

I agree with you about free will.

But free will did not create hurricanes, famine, drought, plague, disease carrying insects or any of the other natural causes of human suffering and demise. God did!

God is a kid with a magnifying glass and an ant farm. Sure, He loves us and would be sad if His ant farm were to be destroyed but it doesn't stop Him from experimenting with his magnifying glass and sunshine, sunshine.

Nuclear war would indeed affect so many people. .. And I am constant praying about the situation in North Korea. I wonder if the Leader over Korea thinks of the long term affects of one nuclear bomb..Perhaps he is trying to commit suicide and take many others with him.

Indeed, all you say is true. We will all be affected by one nuclear bomb in any area of the world..perhaps many of the countries in the UN are realizing this and that is why they are sanctioning North Korea; only, I think the fellow in charge must be suffering from dementia..to disregard everyone. And threatening a nuclear release

I am always happy to see that there are some who remember that in the end they should still remember God.
