“And why not do evil that good may come? - as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.” – Romans 3:8

Was President Truman justified in dropping the atomic bombs on the two Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II? The bombs were dropped on August 6^th and 9^th 1945 respectively. Emperor Hirohito surrendered August 15^th. It’s estimated the early end of the war saved as many as a total of 30 million lives on both sides.

“The ends justify the means” is a decision strategy. When the “means” are based on moral principles, such as the Ten Commandments, and the ends are good and noble, the decision is easy. To behave with wisdom, one must make decisions with an evaluation of moral principles. The justification for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan is debated to this day. The desired end was to save the total number of lives (both allied forces and even Japanese lives). The “means” was horrific and debatable.

The “ends justifying the means” strategy usually involves doing something wrong to achieve some positive outcome. For example, dropping two atomic bombs and killing ~150,000 Japanese to save 32 million Japanese and American lives. Morality is always a consideration. If the action is morally wrong, one must ask, “does the good that comes from the outcome worth it?”

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” – Romans 8:28

Using God’s Law is the Key to Avoid Ends/Means

Imagine if everyone followed the Ten Commandments. There would be no murder, no theft, no cruelty and no violence. Ten Commandments provide us with a moral code that allows us to make decisions to avoid the ends/means dilemma.

Do you believe the Ten Commandments come from God or are you at least willing to accept that basic moral principles exist and the Ten Commandments is the most useful model? Those who fear God will find the embrace of the Ten Commandments easier. Atheists can at least acknowledge that these rules are the best moral code for creating a great society.

"Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough” – Luke 13:22-30

Those who use the ends/means strategy ignore the power of God’s law. The lack of faith in God’s law facilitates violating the Ten Commandments to achieve goals. And according to the Pew Research Center, 69% of Democrats and 15% of republicans identify as atheist.

The Political Left Ignores the Commandments to Achieve Their Ends

The political left offers the promise of utopia. In the left’s philosophy, instead of providing freedom for individuals to strive to achieve their own happiness, the left posits that the government must accept responsibility to make everyone happy.

This is of course a false promise that lures the weak, unhappy, and directionless who refuse to accept personal responsibility. This appeals to victims who become dependent upon government entitlements.

This is just one of the false promises that facilitates the ends/means strategy and justifies ignoring God’s law. Here are examples.

Climate Change Hoax

Desired Ends: Prevent death and destruction by reversing global warming and controlling greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) to achieve a utopian climate.

Means: Significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) with protests, government policies and lawsuits.

The Harm: Fossil fuels make up at least 60% of the energy consumption in the USA and they continue to go up every year. The green movement (wind and solar) has shown no evidence it can replace fossil fuels as a source of energy without significant increases in cost, economic damage and even loss of life.

Ten Commandment Violation (You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor): The claim that the climate is in crisis is a lie. CO2 makes up only .4% of the atmosphere and therefore cannot make the climate shift. The left claims consensus in the scientific community on the climate crisis. This is also a lie because science is never settled. It’s always an enduring loop of exploration. Furthermore, more people have died from extreme cold than extreme heat. And our planet becomes greener and produces more food when it’s warmer.

‘…the rise in temperature in the context of history show there is no connection to human industrial activity and creation of CO2.” (CO2 Coalition, 2021)

Diversity – Equity – Inclusion Lie

Desired Ends: Improve employee morale, fairness, innovation through diverse perspectives by correcting systemic injustices.

Means: Forcing the hiring of and promotion of minorities to meet arbitrary goals of representation. Either ignoring or subordinating merit as a basis for promotions and hiring.

The Harm: Performance suffers. One can make the case that safety suffers and puts lives and property at risk. One can argue DEI lowers performance standards. DEI in the U.S. Military can put lives at risk. DEI decisions in key positions, which are supposed to protect the public (firefighters, police air traffic controllers, surgeons, etc.) can put lives at risk.

Violation of Our Founding Principles: The DEI philosophy is inconsistent with American founding principles. DEI is consistent with Marxism because it creates victims (minorities) and violators (whites). Our Declaration of Independence explains government’s main responsibility: to protect our God given individual rights (not group rights) to life, liberty (freedom), and pursuit of happiness (property). DEI subordinates individual rights for specific group rights (minorities). DEI celebrates the differences between people, usually race, gender, sexual orientation or appearance, for the purpose of forcing outcomes for all victims. American principles are about treating everyone equally under the law. Equity is about treating victims differently to create equal outcomes (not equal opportunities).

Numerous Other Examples

· Censoring speech to avoid misinformation (violating the first amendment).

· Opening the U.S. border to illegals (ignoring the law).

· Gender Affirming Care for children (ignoring nature, science, and the Bible)

· Allowing men to compete in women’s sports ((ignoring nature, science, and the Bible)

Summary

The political left uses the promise of utopia and entitlements to lure the weak and uneducated to support their ideas and policies. The left makes promises it cannot keep while implementing policies which cause significant harm. The left is convinced that the world needs utopia and that it is achievable if only they are in power. This is of course a complete lie, and the left uses the promise to justify the breaking of the Ten Commandments including bearing false witness, stealing, attacking our Constitution and attacking the family unit.

The left justifies this behavior because they truly believe utopia is possible and they can achieve it.

God’s law allows us to defend ourselves. Jesus encouraged followers to own a defensive weapon and to use it. “[L]et him who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.” Luke 22:38.

Any weapon must be used to defend God’s law and not be used for retaliation. For example, Peter was rebuked by Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane when he cut off the ear of the guard because it was God’s will that Jesus be taken by the guards. Telling the truth and following the Commandments are our best weapons.

One can make the case that President Truman was defending our country and therefore following God’s law when he decided to drop the bombs. Are we using God’s laws to make our decisions or are we doing whatever it takes to achieve our desired goals? Following God’s law is the key to avoid the ends/means strategy.
