What are you talking about? There are plenty of non-innocent people. That's not the issue.

We brought the Japanese to cease hostility during WW2 with the release of 2 atomic bombs. The horrific after effects from these bombs could be characterized immoral. Yet, these 2 events concluded the war. Are WE - the USA - EVIL for the mass killing of the civilians that resided in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Or rather, was the use of the weapons a premature cessation of the war resulting in the salvation of multitudes of lives that likely would have perished should the war have continued,.

Further, with which weapons on this worldly plane does one combat the Evil - Demons - that exist amongst us?

Read the Bible. It explains the weapons very well. We are mighty because He who is in us is Mighty. It's time for all Christians to get Spiritually strong. A marksman doesn't get accurate by sitting on his couch, he gets accurate by going to the range every day. Ask for guidance from the Holy Spirit and pray every day. Learn to plead the Blood of the Lamb on those beset by demonic forces. Learn to bind those demons. Call on GOD to send His angels. We are at war and that war is about to get very hot. No joke.

If the bombs had not worked there would have been invasions of mainland Japan and would have resulted in the extinction of the Japanese people and culture.
It would not have been a simple genocide though, the Japanese people were being trained and indoctrinated to fight to the death with any means available... Which would have led to them getting shot as enemy combatants.

EDIT: To add to that, the firebombing campaigns we had been doing destroyed as much or more of the cities we targets as the nukes.

Ive heard that, not independently confirmed, that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the 2 major areas of Japan's Christians.

It would have been in combo with allied forces from the east. We may have had a split north south Japan if it happened

"No one ever assassinates innocent people." Really? Because the assassin decides the person is guilty of inconveniencing them?

So... Squeaky Fromme, the Manson girl, was totally okay in trying to off Gerald Ford, even though she was the one drenched in the blood of innocents?

How many of these people can still pretend to be "innocent"?
