摘要

Nuclear deterrence is the ultimate abstract construct. Because there has never been a nuclear war per se, strategising about nuclear weapons is by nature a hypothetical exercise. Because it is logically impossible to prove a negative, demonstrating the effectiveness of nuclear weapons as war-prevention instruments is a difficult enterprise. Nuclear deterrence is also associated with absolutes. Conceived as weapons of resistance against totalitarianism, nuclear arms quickly became associated with nothing less than the survival of the human race. For these reasons, nuclear strategy is fertile ground for analogies grounded in spirituality. The first nuclear test was called Trinity; its success elicited a recitation of the Bhagavad Gita by its creator, and quotes from the Book of Revelation by observers. As early as the 1950s, the idea of a nuclear war was associated with Armageddon, the final battle between good and evil according to The Bible. The first nuclear detonations were called an original sin. Time and again, certain Evangelical Christians, Orthodox Jews and Shia Muslims have found echoes of their own beliefs in such images.
