Susan Roy wrote a book that studied the history of the fallout shelter, titled Bamboozled: How the U.S. Government Misled Itself and Its People Into Believing They Could Survive a Nuclear Attack. The summary of the book is that nuclear bombs are so powerful and radiation so long-lasting that even the best-built and best-stocked fallout shelter would prove ineffective. This lesson really became apparent to Roy when she visited the Nevada test site where experimental nuclear bombs were detonated. The test site is larger than the state of Rhode Island. As one takes a bus tour through the test grounds, massive craters are visible. But what disturbed Roy the most was this: "The tone of the tour is relentlessly upbeat. The bomb is described as a marvelous technical achievement; there is never a reference to what its actual purpose was -- to efficiently kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people. It is one of the most profoundly depressing places I've seen."
We are told we are given "immeasurable greatness of Jesus' power when we believe." But those who forsake Christ for Satan are also given an "immeasurable greatness of power." The question becomes, "How will we use the power that is given to us as humans?" Shall we use it destructively or constructively?
