I presume that because you are arguing with me about the morality of dropping the bomb. I equate the lives of combatants to those of innocent children because, in God's eyes, all lives are equally valuable. We are all, after all, his creatures. I regret the loss of any life and abhor war in all its forms. The gist of my position is that the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki shortened the war and saved a myriad of lives on both sides. For this reason, I think it was moral. If I had been President then, I would have given the order.

Not so. To kill a man in self defense is different than killing a random innocent child, both to you and to God, no?
