As an Witness of Radiation Sprayed
By US Nuclear Bomb Tests in Pacific Ocean in 1950's
Truth of Radiation (Vérité de la radioprotection)
Which is more important for a man, the end of his life or the end of the world?
Is there any meaning in God's punishing all the mankind or a certain person who is I or you?
You may want your children or grandchildren to have a happy life after your death. But for their happiness, would you rather sacrifice your own happiness?
There are two ways in dealing with this issue. First, admit the Lord God Almighty who ultimately governs souls of mankind. Secondly, believe you, your ancestors, and your descendants belong to one great spiritual world where mutual happiness should be realized.
The former is for believers of the God of Abraham. The latter is for Japanese and the likes.
SECTION I: Tokyo Radiation Measurement
Recently a Japanese journalist traveled to Washington DC and New York.
In Washington DC, he met old friends some of whom, however, hesitated to shake hands fully as before. Those Americans said that nobody trusted the Japanese Government reporting daily dosage values measured around Tokyo and Fukushima. Accordingly, they hesitated to shake hands fully as before with an old friend coming from Japan very recently.
In New York, the Japanese journalist found a smoking area on a street to take a humble smoke. Then, a middle-aged half-homeless looking white man approached to him, extending the shaking hand. So, the Japanese said to the man, "I am just from Tokyo. This tobacco is of a Japanese brand. Is it OK for you?" Then the poor white man murmured and left the smoking Japanese.
The Japanese Communist Party announced that dose reports on Tokyo by the Government are not accurate, since they measure radiation 20 or 18 meters (60 or 54 feet) high above the ground in a very specific location (namely Shinjuku Ward) only delivering record of, for instance, 0.0623 micro-sieverts/hour.
According to the measurement record by the Party:
1). Surface of the ground in a park of Katsuhsika Ward: 0.618 micro-sieverts/hour
2). A 1 meter-high point near a filtration plant in Katsuhsika Ward: 0.3 micro-sieverts/hour
3). A 1 meter-high point in a grass field of Adachi Ward: 0.257 micro-sieverts/hour
4). A 1 meter-high point in a park of Koto Ward: 0.186 micro-sieverts/hour
Generally speaking, values of radiation measured by the Party in the eastern part of Tokyo are relatively high, though within a harmless range. Yet, 0.618 micro-sieverts/hour in Katsuhsika Ward, Tokyo Prefecture, means 5.42 milli sieverts per year, which is not so desirable.
SECTION II: Losing a Wager
The Japanese nuclear energy community must have thought: "We are not such a fool as would embrace huge costs taking preventive measures in nuclear power plants against an earthquake or a tsunami of a scale observed only once in 1000 years."
So, the God laughed at their foolishness, without sparing the Japanese people the tragedy on March 11, 2011 which led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accidents.
What is required for the Japanese and their leaders is laughing at their own foolishness of having made a wager that an earthquake or a tsunami of a scale observed only once in 1000 years would never happen on March 11, 2011.
It is so, since an earthquake and a tsunami of a scale observed only once in 1000 years actually occurred on March 11, 2011, crippling four nuclear reactors in Fukushima Daiichi.
And, while even the Japanese are now forced to be humbler before the God, how severely will they be treated by the God: the Chinese, the North Koreans, and the Russians?

It is very interesting that ancient Hebrews had a notion that the God might have terminated existence of mankind because He repented His creation of men.
As men came to do evil things, the God came to decide the termination of mankind. It is very understandable, if the God had created mankind to see good in men. But, to put an end to the human history, the God has to act on His initiative. It means that mankind could survive for a very long time while doing every evil thing. Mankind as a whole has ability to survive for centuries and millenniums while doing evil things among themselves. It is a surprise. Yet, for this reason, to put an end to the human history, the God has to act on His initiative. It is all the more interesting that ancient Hebrews thought so, as so expressed in the Old Testament.
Nonetheless, for a reason still unclear, the God sent His son to mankind 2000 years ago to save them.
Probably, to truly understand why the God sent His son to mankind 2000 years ago to save them is the most important thing for man.
It is probably more important than the end of one's life or the end of the world.
In addition, the evil things include abuse of atomic energy or nuclear power.
(Note that if Christ Jesus is the Son of the God, he is so if anybody except the God said He is not.)
(Note that even if Christ Jesus is the Son of the God, the God might say that He is not for some purpose.)
(Note that only if Christ Jesus is the Son of the God, we can be sure that we are being treated well by the God. We do not have to take pains to read Torah and the like or worship five times a day.)
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
