the brits seem to forget their history occasionaly....
the bombing of England (specifical London) was an initiative by the Germans. they responded, but suffered during that time....

Hiroshima/Nagasaki - its done, its over, its time to move on. But we should not forget.

Muslims do a car bomb. Christians drop a nuke or firebomb entire cities, Berlin, Tokyo, Dresden.... We Christians know how to do it right.

I believe it was the 1972 Munich Olympics - Israeli athletes were assasinated by the Baader-Meinhoff group - aka Red Army.

Crime in the name of religion is certainly not the prerogative of any specific religion.

No "we" about it.

Your ignorance is breath taking. Keep it to yourself.

Help me out here. Which civilians did the Brits bomb before the Germans deliberately targetted British civilians?

Let me give you a few hints here.

The Blitz, 7 September 1940 to 16 May 1941.
en.wikipedia.org

Firebombing of Dresden, February 13 to February 15, 1945.
en.wikipedia.org

BTW, many of the most brilliant minds working on nuclear fission were atheists or Jews (mostly non-observant).

Very rare to see a devout Christian brilliant theoretical physicist. Some Anglicans, yes, but that doesn't disprove what I just said.
