No wonder Christians in America have Karma:

...we come to what perhaps is the symbolic low point of the whole dark process of Constantinian Christianity, a Christianity of violent power, prestige, prerogative, and property, all supported by ways and means contrary to the explicit teaching of Jesus. The low point of this process, it seems to me, occurs on August 9th, 1945. For on August 9th, 1945, a Christian bomb crew takes off from Tinian Island in the South Pacific, with the blessing of the Catholic and Protestant chaplains, and flies to drop the second atomic bomb. It’s original destination is Kokura Japan, but, in the mystery of reality, Kokura is clouded in, and it can’t drop the bomb, so it goes on to the secondary target, Nagasaki. And it gets over Nagasaki and it too is clouded in, and so there’s a problem. But then there’s a break in the clouds, and what they see below is the landmark they need to see, that they’ve been briefed on: the largest Christian church in all of Japan, the Nagasaki Urakami Cathedral. And using that as Ground Zero, they released the second of the atomic bombs. They release it on Nagasaki, the original, the oldest, and the largest Christian community in all of Japan. The community that Saint Francis Xavier founded when he went there.

Nagasaki is famous in Japanese Christian history. It went through almost 200 years of Imperial Japanese persecution; it lived a catacomb existence for that time, and it survived and flourished. The Jesuit martyrs of Nagasaki are famous; there are paintings and drawings of them, because the Japanese Imperial Government used to say, looking at the cross, “If that’s your Saviour, imitate him,” and they used to crucify them. And there’s drawings of crucified Christians, 40, 60, 80 of them together. And what the Imperial Japanese Government could not do in 200 years, Christians did to each other in 9 seconds. The entire community was evaporated. And the misery and agony of that destruction goes on in the Christian community of Nagasaki and its surroundings to this very day, as children and grandchildren are born with unimaginable death and disease inside them.
