How can a Christian claim to know what peace and love means when their creed started both world wars and created the nuclear bomb ?

Question

all three of these great innovations were the product of followers of Christ.

you chose to drop the nuclear bomb on Japanese ( Non Christian and Non White ) people instead of on Germany because they were still your brethren through race and religion.

you chose a foreign people.

So you could argue that was also a global icon racist event in history too.

do not play the 'pearl harbor' card on me.  thats not related to this.

so you see, before you stick your noses in foreign affairs like the middle east and so forth,  look at your face in the mirror.

If you were to look at the majority of religious leaders dating back to just after the Apostles died up to more recently, they have done their best to keep people improperly educated. Not too long ago, people were burnt alive for simply trying to translate the Bible into the common tongue. Since, as Hebrews 11:1 brings out, knowledge is integral to faith, and, without proper faith, it is tough to truly trust anything, people have put their faith in other things, besides God. Don't blame real Christianity for wars and the nuclear bomb. Christianity is all about loving, even your enemy (John 13:35; Matthew 5:44; Matthew 22:37-40; Romans 13:10). Blame those who keep people in the dark and those whose hearts are not Christian-like.

Nothing quite like blanket, sweeping statements.

It was prophesied there would arise false Christs and false Christianity. But your "question" is just veiled accusations.

Why do people lie when they claim to be Christians? Following a religion does not make you immune to the innate evils of man

The fact of the matter: We are all wicked unless God saves some of us, no exception, that is why everyone needs a savior, and that savior is God The Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who saved some from before the foundation of the world, but mankind is wicked and the only way we can become holy, pure and sanctified is if God The Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior saves some and takes some of us out of the kingdom of Satan and sin and puts us into the kingdom of God The Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior so that we will only do God will, instead of Satan and sins will. Read Colossians 2:13, read Ephesians 2:1-10, read Psalm 51:17, when you can understand God's holy word and know why God does what God does, then you will have wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of God's holy word the bible.

First you have to define what a Christian is.If you think a few drops of water on a babies head makes it a Christian you are absolutely wrong.The wars were not started by Christians.Neither the 2 worldwars nor the crusades.If you were right Hitler,Mussilini,Stalin or even the Pope would have been Christians.

Warmongers are not TRUE CHRISTIANS.

Isaiah 2:4. He will render judgment among the nations, and set matters straight respecting many people’s.
They will beat their swords into plowhares and their spears into pruning shears.
Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore.

I recite the Creed at every Mass and with every Rosary. Was the nuclear bomb something added to the Creed during Vatican 2?
