There is no such thing as an Atheists.

I've never met a Christian who was capable of seriously entertaining the possibility that Zeus is the most powerful god and also, actually, really and truly exists.

It's like a native English speaker trying to convince a native Chinese speaker that the English language is vastly superior and by every logical measure the only language anyone should ever be taught around the world until the end of time.

And the native Chinese speaker makes the exact same argument in favor of the entire planet adopting the Chinese alphabet.

Your god is your language.

You decide it is best because you can't even imagine an alternative.

Often, simply because that is what you were taught as a child.

No. I don't care about Ancient Alien theory 

People like you often mock what they do not understand. Sucks to be you

I'm asking if your justification of this particular event is capricious or based on some identifiable principle.

And I told you. Self defense. Please buy a clue.

Actually, Japan extended the war by refusing. They knew they were defeated, but they decided to fight onn. Which is why we had to nuke them. Any other course of action would have killed many more people.

"Any other course of action would have killed many more people".

Actually, Japan extended the war by refusing. 

Of course not.

Actually, Japan extended the war by refusing. 

Thank you. Common sense.

It was Japan at fault, not the US.

(IFF) Japan extended the war by refusing to surrender (THEN) by the same measure, the allies extended the war by refusing to surrender.

The allies were not asked to surrender, and as such, could not have refused. This is typical liberal illogic.

Sure. To save another country. To make a region safer. To uphold the dignity of your country. To right a wrong. Etc.

Wait, do you think you must be invited to surrender before it is possible to surrender?

These justifications would not seem to apply to Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan.

No Einstein. But you must be invited to surrender before it is possible to refuse to surrender.

More hairsplitting.  Engaging in war is a de-facto request for your opponent to surrender.

Ok, so we are in agreement.

How utterly splendid.

So what? Did you ask me for justifications for Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan, or just perfectly justifiable reasons for going to war?

 Here's the way I see it. Atheists don't want God to exist the same way criminals don't want cops to exist. They know that God exists, but they suppress the truth. It's because they also know that they are sinners and deserve death. They know that Jesus gave His life so we could avoid death. But these people love their sin more than their Creator. Also, the Bible tells us that many witnessed the miracles of Christ and still rejected Him. So, it's not a matter of belief. It's a matter of obedience. There is no such thing as an atheist. Not my opinion. This is what Scripture tells us.

I don't think I'm equipped to properly address the idea as it stands in vague reference, but have no confidence in it standing up to theological scrutiny.  I suggest it would do you well not to lean on that notion too hard. Personally, I would not lean on it at all, though I wouldn't honestly deny the possibility for that kind of developement permeating society.  I wouldn't let it rule my judgement either. A Christian's faith, is ultimately in God. That is truthful, and not disrespectful of legitimate teachings of Jesus Christ.  It's not correct I believe, for us to hold judgement upon Christians expressing such truth.  It's not correct to generalize such judgement upon members of the church whose role in duty is unique among members of society.
