War is done by man. we would have found something else to fight about. Just like now the people in the world are searching for a reason to have a world war.

it seems like folks out there are taking issue with WWII, and tghe fact we did all we could to end the war.
while Pres. Roosevelt did not authorize the bomb, it was authorized by his replacement.
and it was important that it did occur.
so, if something had "changed" a bit early on, would the outcome have been any different?
anyone know for sure? Gus, if your Mom had aborted you, would the collective IQ of the Campfire go up a few 10 digits?

I do not read your post Gus after your slap at T Lee and I seldom feel the desire to respond to your Senseless drivel but the title to this one make me advise you seek a mental health professional and do in now. I seriously fear you should not be out on your own. You really need help. The VA Has a mental health hotline. Info HERE

yep, yelp. not every post on this hook & bullet site is going to appease or appeal to everyone.
that's what diversity is all about.
if the posts get out of line, someone might tell us?

In all seriousness yes. But for a different reason than the OP's line of reasoning.
If the Christ had not existed, then we would all be Pagan, Jewish or Muslim. Still lots of wars but probably not WW2.
Instead we would probably have colonized Mars by now as the church set science back a thousand plus years.
Greek and Roman knowledge on subjects like math and science would have been passed on and built upon rather than wiped out by those who went around killing scientists and burning libraries.
