May 9 - holiday joy to the world. Approaching the end of the bloodiest in human history, World War II . It was she who gave impetus to the development of military technology to the same extent and with the acceleration of technological progress, which never appeared in the three centuries of the history of technological civilization .
In this war were created missiles, nuclear weapons , jet bombers and ballistic missiles . In a short time, developed, tested and put into operation the latest combat weapons at sea and in the water , on land and in the air. High-power radars, munitions factories and laboratories ; entire military infrastructure was using the most advanced technology to create offensive and defensive weapons.
Do not idle ...
Weapons are not firing blanks . In the battlefield, killing more than 55 million people and most of all military civilians on this side and the other side.
Who designed this military miracle technique? What motives were moving people? The creators of nuclear weapons in the U.S. military development shamelessly used the Nazis used their technology in the nuclear Manhattan Project in Los Alamos. When there is a need to create a ballistic missile , was ready Baron Werner von Braun, the "father" missiles V -1 and V-2 , bombed London . He also created a ballistic weapons with nuclear warheads for the United States and the Saturn 5 launch vehicle that took Americans to the moon. American bombing of Dresden destroyed in one day to 250,000 German civilians , but the industrial and military installations are not affected.
Nuclear weapons the Americans in the summer of 1945 overnight killed two civilians of Japanese cities . August 6 at 8:15 am local time, a heavy bomber B-29 dropped from a great height first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. More than 4 square miles ( 10.25 sq. km.) Of the city were instantly and completely devastated. 66,000 people died , 69,000 were injured. Three days later , at 11:02 am, another B-29 dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki, an industrial area of ;;the city , completely destroying 1.5 square meters. miles ( 3.84 sq. km.) , killing 39,000 and injuring more than 25,000 Japanese. More than a hundred thousand people died in that time , when the days of militarist Japan were numbered , and radiation disease claims the lives of Japanese people still ...
For good or evil?
Russian forced to build nuclear weapons , and for balance, and of course, as one of the important arguments of "cold war." This happened in 1949. But after five years in the Soviet Union, there was the world's first "peaceful" nuclear reactor to produce cheap electricity . Note that the father of rocket Wernher von Braun is treated kindly by the mercies of leaders of the two warring countries, Hitler and Roosevelt. The creators of our " Katyusha" served only for the benefit of their country . They do not become embittered , despite the fact that most of them, the staff of design offices Tikhomirov , Grave and Gvaya ; know the "mercy" of Stalin's camps . These examples show that the creators of arms can work with different purposes.
Weapons created during the Second World War, formed the basis of the military might of the Soviet Union , America, France and England, and the anti-Hitler coalition. These countries immediately after the war entered the era of confrontation, the so-called "cold war". At this time, had accumulated so many weapons , nuclear, bacteriological, chemical , it could destroy the Earth thousands of times. On the other hand , to date, nuclear weapons and their delivery to the target are the guarantor of military security of Russia and modern weapons of deterrence, which does not allow anyone to unleash aggression with impunity .
The creators of nuclear weapons in the aftermath were the most active peacemakers : Albert Einstein , Niels Bohr, Andrei Sakharov , Max Born, Otto Gunn ... Apparently, their conscience was troubled. They felt the responsibility that fired the "nuclear genie " of the bottle, but to get him back there were no longer able to . I always thought the technical geniuses there is a situation of moral choice . Or not to create a weapon that could be used to protect the homeland, and to attack the weak neighbors ? It is known that the designer Kalashnikov cried when I found out that in Afghanistan, from his automatic fire at our soldiers ...
So for good or evil , the creation of weapons ? The answer to the question can be found not only in the sphere of morality , but also in the field of religion . Would not the creators of deadly devices to respond to the judgment of God for their creation to the Creator of life? Of course, it is necessary. And what will be the verdict is likely to depend on the moral attitudes that led the engineers and designers ...
Weapons of Victory
The first weapon on earth was created by Tubal-Cain , the son of Lamech , the seventh descendant of Cain ( Genesis 4.22 ) . And we remember a song of praise , which he sang in front of his two wives Admoy and Zillah , that killed and Cain , and a young man in the wound itself . St. Demetrius of Rostov ( 1709 ), in the " Synopsis " explains that he accidentally killed them on the hunt , but in the judgment to himself , the evil vanity weapon invention of his son Tavulkaina . Many times in the Old Testament describes the weapons used and the people of God ( to do God's will) , and his opponents ( for the will of the devil ) .
In the New Testament , our Lord Jesus Christ commands the apostle Peter to put his sword ( Ioan.18 : 11). Pacifists interpret these words as prohibiting Christians to wear any kind of weapon . However , the interpretation of the Fathers of the Orthodox Church, it just means that Christ would willingly suffer for us , as Peter let him . Later, the Lord spoke the words that echoed holy warrior prince Alexander Nevsky after the victory over the Crusaders : who took the sword shall perish by the sword . Therefore, the Christian warriors remember other words of Christ : "There is no greater love than this , that a man lay down his life for his friends" ( Ioan.15 : 13).
Luke says that John the Baptist in a conversation with the soldiers told them no one was hurt , and were content with their wages (Luke 3:14). " To be content with a salary of " only for the performance of military service , and " not to offend anyone " does not mean to hurt the elderly, women, children, prisoners , that is to perform military duty honestly . And the apostle Paul says he does not bear the sword in vain servant of God - the wrath to punish them that do evil (Romans 8:4 ) . Therefore , it is as a servant of God in arms the will of God for the protection order.
Thus, to make and use weapons and enemies can still God and the saints . Let us recall the soldiers celebrated by the Church, and the patron saint of the Archangel Michael. Weapons of victory becomes a weapon destruction, if it is evil. And the weapons destruction can become a weapon of victory, if a person corrects their hands on the will of God.
St Filaret of Moscow ( 1867 ) stated: "He who resists the power of the wicked , and with the sword - he should be pure and above its struggle, otherwise he would lead it, and he did not complete her victory, and she will entice him to distort his guise and vomit it broken, the basest and vicious . Wield the power of the sword , and can only he who owns him , that is his passion and his vision for if a man does not know you, then take possession of the sword and the power of them, do not they will be his tool and a means , and he will be their means and instrument then he " will die by the sword " not physically, but morally and spiritually , his strength will be wasted , his soul will be scarred and the fight was lost. That is why the purification of the soul is the basic condition for the victory in the fight against evil . " And in the " Bases of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church," says: "In the iconography of St. George the Victorious black dragon is trampled by a horse hoof always painted a bright white. This clearly shows that evil and the fight against it should be completely separated, for struggling with sin , it is important not to join him »(VIII.4).
Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill addressed to the engineers and military strategic missile troops on the day of their professional holiday of December 17, 2009 : "Your hard work and heroism enabled the Strategic Missile Forces in a relatively short period of time become a force capable of addressing the bulk of the tasks associated with providing strategic military security of Russia and, indeed , the global balance of strategic forces ... The highest responsibility for the fate of the country , the fate of the world demands the highest moral strength and a high spiritual culture, because so dangerous weapon should only be in the hands of people with clean bright mind, with burning love for the fatherland, conscious of the responsibility for their actions before God and before the people . "
This is the answer to the question , Does God do the work the engineers who create weapons ? It all depends on the intention with which they work . Otherwise , says St. John Chrysostom , and can be called Abraham synoubiytsey , if you look at the business, not the intention . But if the intention is pure and holy , holy, is the work which did the creators of the Victory in the Second World War.
