Google, when fed atomic bomb and 1931, eventually spits out that 1931 was the year that research to develop the bomb began. Also the year Japan invaded Manchuria. (I'm using Firefox and had trouble quoting the website, I'll try again in IE.)
Could these events have more worldwide impact than Europeans in a squabble? I don't mean to discount World War One, or the multitudes whose lives were changed by it. But the events of 1914 had very little impact on most of the planet.
Can I go straight from study to apostate without rebaptism?
