Re: reality check.
How you people can be against the removal of nukes from hair trigger is just amazing.
​
Could you explain to me how having thousands of ICBMs and SLBMs on hair trigger alert capable of eliminating all life from the planet within 30 minutes is safer then having no such weapons?
​
Yet another strawman. Stop misrepresenting my position.
​
Can you ever debate honestly?

Re: reality check.
You have misrepresented my position.
​
I have little use for those who must rely on misrepresentation.

Re: reality check.
My position is that we identify where possible anyone who believes in End Time prophecy and try to make sure that they are not in a position of authority.
​
As to nuclear weapons, I think they are pretty much worthless as a Nation State resource.
​
As to being wrong, destroying or decentralizing nuclear weapons is a separate issue to determining the sanity of those in authority.

Re: reality check.
So, what kind of damage could a in power end times believer do without weapons of mass destruction?
​
Use other resources such as chemical, biological, economic or conventional weapons.

The Blame Game
I have an additional question: Why can't we blame "The Protestant Ethic," as defined by Max Weber, for inflicting Globalization on the world in "the Spirit of Capitalism"?
​
For the same reason we do not blame a disease on the doctor who diagnoses it.
​
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
