Christian Ethics

I was doing some random research and I stumbled upon this fact:

At the time the U.S. dropped the second atomic bomb, Nagasaki had the largest concentration of Christians in all of Japan and the largest Catholic Church in Asia. Missionaries established a thriving Christian community in Nagasaki throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, and even after mass persecution at the hands of the Japanese Emperor, Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Japan to find thousands of baptized Christians practicing in secrecy. Nagasaki's Christian citizens, who were carbonized and vaporized by an all Christian bombing crew, who were accompanied and blessed by both a Catholic and a Lutheran chaplain. For anyone that claims the U.S. is a Christian nation guided by Christian principles, go ahead and buy yourself a ticket to the logical circus it must take to reconcile the fact that the U.S. strategically targeted and obliterated one of the largest groups of Christians in Asia.

This says it better than I can: "And so the persecuted, vibrant, faithful center of Japanese Christianity became ground zero, and what Japanese Imperialism couldn't do in 200 years of persecution, American Christians did in 9 seconds; the entire worshipping community of Nagasaki was wiped out."
