Is Einstein in hell for Hiroshima?

If there is no Hell,
Then there is no bottom of Hell.
Hence, Hell has no bottom -

Proof of the "bottomless pit" (Bible). The suffering has no limit: if you have lost one kid, you can lose two kids.

Albert Einstein has called his letter to President Roosevelt (with advice to build the A-bomb) the biggest mistake of his life.

Is the inventor of the cine camera responsible for child pornography?
No. Only if he took the pictures of a naked child. Einstein has willingly helped the military. That was his concern.

Assuming, that Einstein is ABSOLUTE GENIUS (so, Albert correctly identifies his own mistakes),
the God of Love is angry at Einstein?

The letter of Einstein has started not only a peaceful use of radioactivity but a military use as well. And look, how the testing of the bombs has influenced nature and health: we have a cancer pandemic.

You are asking: why wouldn't a loving God forgive him?
There is a chance, that the anger of God if it has already started, would last an eternity.
The God, who always loves, can not become angry even for a sec.

Einstein didn’t have anything to do with the bomb. Good thing he managed to escape the Nazis though
Even if he was directly responsible for building the bomb, he didn’t drop it on anyone. So no, assuming that hell exists, I don’t think Einstein has to worry

I wonder though, what about the inventor of dynamite? A Mr Alfred Nobel. Although does the Nobel prize cancel that out?

Actually Enrico Fermi and others were the ones who made the discovery and led the project.

New Albert Einstein has called his letter to President Truman (with advice to build the A-bomb) the biggest mistake of his life.

Nope, for one having an atom bomb is not the same as using it.
Secondly even if it was a mistake to build one if Einstein truly regretted it why wouldn't a loving God forgive him?

Is god in hell for thinking he was real enough to have created rattlesnakes?

Not saying he was wrong to think so. Carefully worded that to avoid any ontological conclusions, you see.

Just tryin' my best to earn the admiration of the RF babes for suggestively threading the needle.



They keep me around as an RF admin on the theory I'd be even more annoying if I thought no one on Staff was keeping a close watch on me.

And? At the time he was under the impression that the Nazis were at the stage where they could use the nuclear bomb/power to decimate ports and other places in the world. He did not know that they weren’t at that level at the time.

I have some familiarity with the history of WW2, both in the European and Pacific theaters.

My view is that the use of the atom bomb on Japan saved many many more lives than it cost, both Japanese and American / Allied.

I invite anyone who holds a contrary view to look at the casualty estimates for both sides if an invasion of Japan had been required.

My ex-mother-in-law (second wife) grew up in Japan during World War II and was old enough to been among the millions of school children who the Japanese began training towards the end to sacrifice their lives tying to successfully assault and ambush with bamboo spears American troops fighting to take the islands. If anything like that had actually played out, the death count of children alone could easily have numbered in the millions.

I'm not saying that means the bombs were necessary to bring about the timing of the surrender. I've never studied the details well enough to be confident I have a reasonable guess at that. I'm just saying that the stakes were much higher than anyone can mentally grasp.

Statistics are not children dying in agony, shock, and terror, but at most a cold summary of the fact of their deaths.
