Who in your judgement was the more evil: the people who deployed the atomic weapons, the people who invented them or the people who built them? Consider that their use, as deplorable as it was, brought an extremely bloody war to a rapid end and directly saved thousands of lives.
Yeah, the atomic bombs were worth it even if just to stop the fire raids. It was actually quite a moral decision.
Atlass, here's something I wonder about: The Indian Ocean Earthquake/Tsunami in 2004 is estimated to have killed over 225 000 people. Many of these people will have been innocent women and children, that have known of no other religion than Hinduism for all their lives. According to your holy books, these people will burn in hell for an eternity. I don't know how a being that would do that can possibly be moral. It sounds to me like a divine Kim Jong Un. Can your god truly be loving whilst doing this?
Besides, how can the earthquake/tsunami happen anyway? Is your god not powerful enough to stop it (not omnipotent) or does he not give a shit about those people (not loving)?
