If he did, it would be proof positive that the whole concept is a sham.

If one of the worst war criminals in modern history gets to go to heaven, there's nobody who doesn't and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

Didn’t he win some kind of peace prize for starting the Vietnam War?

[–] Viking_Hippie 11 points 1 month ago

Close: he won it for ending it but it later came out that he deliberately extended it in order to help Nixon's presidential campaign.

Also, he wanted to stop North Vietnamese trains by blowing up the tracks with NUCLEAR WEAPONS in spite of that making no fucking sense except from the standpoint of maximizing death and suffering.

I stopped taking the Nobel Peace Prize seriously when both Kissinger and Arafat won them.
