Now, you might expect like in the movies, that the ones saved in Armageddon will
be the ones with most nukes to deflect the evil asteroid.

Or the ones with most gunpowder, depleted uranium armour and shelling, white posphorus
bombs and nukes.

Our Lord teaches that our greatest weapon is the End Times is our patience.

The signs indicate that the children of devil as keeping this planet hostage under
a Plutonium Order for almost eighty years, with nuclear weapons and missiles in MAD
(mutually assured destruction) permanent condition.

Recall please that not only Führer filled concentration camps with Jehovah's Witnesses,
but the Allies also first dealt with the "pacifists" in not so pleasant manner.

Noteworthy is that Mr. Adolph Hitler in one of his errors despised conscience, as
opposed to the right of Aryan supremacy to rule, take land, and exterminate its owners,
based on the exclusive right of those myths.

In this he followed more eugenics and racial theory than Norse mythology and today
widely accepted legend that the leader of Norse gods accepted and adopted the infant
of Ice Giants, whom they exposed to the elements because of perceiving him as weak.

Also, renown philosopher - German - Immanuel Kant, declared in his famously quoted
statement: "The moral law within me and the starry skies above me."

Now, with Immanuel Kant, this did not cause in his time the effect of Southern Israel's
king Menashe's worship of the hosts of heaven. Naturally, because Kant would never
put something eating children on his sky.

The "moral law within me" would be our conscience and it is an imprint or the image
of God - so a disabled person or a mental patient could still have more conscience
and moral restraint than his genocidal psychiatrist in charge of sterilisation and
euthanasia of Germany's mentally ill.

One of my favourite quotes is an SF anecdotal story in which decimated human race,
by their own created AI who perfected themselves to human copies, got the launch keys
to nuclear weapons and annihilated the human race in the name of One God.

Now, one of the domesticated AIs declared to human commander that humans might not
have the natural right to survive as a species. That moved the commander to stop the
action of assassinating the superior officer in a paranoid power dynamics of the
galactic fleet.

Actually, such threat of extinction had raised elementary questions of how we treat
the weak, the mentally ill, the disabled, the enemy prisoners of war, the wounded,
those who have no offspring to inherit their blood line?

Actually, do we deserve the toll we inflict on the bright side of the Cosmos? When we take it for granted and sell it for nought.

Now, the galactic fleet commander decided to recall his proxy to murder the superior officer, despite her harshness and methods on the fleet.

He realised that in a decimated human race on the verge of extinction, what we today
consider junk might become an asset.

in the LORD God Creator of the Universe, Maker of Heaven and Earth, Maker of Adam and Eve,
Almighty, Merciful, Longsuffering (Slow to anger),
All-Seeing (El-Roi), All-Hearing (Yishma-El), All-Knowing (El-Deowt),
in the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and
in the Holy Ghost of God holy name
Amen
