"The old God, wholly "spirit," wholly the high-priest,
wholly perfect, is promenading his garden: he is bored
and trying to kill time. Against boredom even gods
struggle in vain. What does he do? He creates man -
man is entertaining....The old God invents war; he
separates the peoples; he makes men destroy one another
(-the priests have always had need of war...) War -
among other things, a great disturber of science!
- Incredible! Knowledge, deliverance from the priests,
prospers in spite of war. - So the old God comes to
his final resolution: "Man has become scientific -
there is no help for it: he must be drowned!" "

The Anti Christ

In this context Doomstars, bombs are an Anti Christ creation.

Bombs are more of a way of uncreating.

Bomb detonation has potential to destroy,
but bomb generation is a creative process
that involves tax dollars, and commerce;
an industry based upon deception.

Bombs destroy or essentially uncreate things in the end, depending on
use. Certain bombs or explosives may be a good thing in a sense, like
building tunnels through mountains if you use TNT, even though it may
do damage to the environment.
