WND writer goes off the deep end about Nagasaki...

Nagasaki was nuked just to kill Japanese Christians?

This idiot thinks so, based on...what he pulls out of his ass.

Lowell Ponte asserts that the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki in order to kill Christians: “Thousands of Japan’s secret Christians went to Nagasaki, believing that Christian America would never destroy Japan’s most ‘Christian’ city. More Japanese Christians died in that atomic blast than during centuries of Japan’s persecution of Christians. They did not know that the leftist Democratic ruling elite in 1945 Washington, D.C., as now, were anti-Christian.”

"If you opposed the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan to end the war, then you hate America and wanted one million Americans to die invading Japan!"

Interesting one-eighty there...

Imperial Japan killed millions during their conquest to conquer Asia in the 30's and they did in a brutal manner. Rape, murder, starvation, forced labor, human experimentation. 40% of U.S. pow's died or were killed incaptivity by the Japenese. Some were also subjected to brutal human experimentaion.

Weren't Democrats the conservatives in 1945?

So he is claiming the conservatives wanted to kill Christians.

Maybe he didn't think this out too clearly.
