    There will still be people working for arms companies. All of them will deserve hell?

      If we cut back that much, then we wouldn’t be able to fuel nearly as much death and destruction around the globe. But, not to worry, I’m sure we could still find enough evil to do to both satisfy your desire for blood and to earn the people responsible a cozy little spot in Hell, yes.

        Where did you get my desire for blood from? All I’m saying is that the same arms companies make weapons that fall in Gaza and that protect Europe. You can’t have one but not the other. It’s up to politicians to decide how to use those weapons, not engineers.

          Exactly how far does this extend? Because a lot of people involved in supporting the Nazi war effort said the exact same thing.

          If you go around solving every problem you’re asked to with no concern for who’s asking or why, that’s how you wind up developing Zyklon B.

          Giving a gun to a murderer is the same as pulling the trigger. Giving artillery to a murderer is too.

            Great, so let’s disarm unilaterally. I’m sure Russia and China will do the same.

            Such a childish take…
