If there is a morality, then we must come to the conclusion that a person can be bad or good. But what exactly does it mean to be immoral and moral? Is it based on how many bad choices we make in comparison to the good? Surely a killer would have done a good deed once in his life, or even a devoted Christian could have committed a crime. I am having difficulty with answering this, because even "good" people have caused terrible atrocities.In August of 1945, the United States of America made the decision to drop the first atomic bomb. Hiroshima, targeted for it's communication site, was desecrated. Over 140,000 people (mostly civilians) were incinerated and numerous others died from the effects of the bomb's radiation. There are so many terrible and sad stories out there. While learning this in high school I realized there is so much we were never told about.
How do we justify a creation of a bomb used to annihilate a part of our human race?
Sure it's intention was to end a war and show a nation's nuclear power, but look what it has done.
