Where was God during the Holocaust?

review summary

You know, I honestly do see the points of many on this forum when it comes to their questions concerning God. However, trying to understand every single thing about God and trying to define Him in simple human terms is pretty futile in my opinion. But then, I don't need Him defined as some do.

I guess I will never get that question I have about believing truly answered here on earth. What makes some require that proof and what makes others not reuqire any proof at all?

Unfortunately both the persons who had made other's life are christians by origin.( Hitler and BUSH)
Fortunately no athiest had killed, maimed, tortured, butchered, raped, , burned for religious cause.
ASK JESUS or his organiszed sales representative..
Jews are coward to expose the hypocracy of Christianity. but vociferous to belittle the minority.

What about Stalin just to mention one person?

Continuous persecution in the 1930s resulted in its near-extinction: by 1939, active parishes numbered in the low hundreds (down from 54,000 in 1917), many churches had been leveled, and tens of thousands of priests, monks and nuns were persecuted and killed. Over 100,000 were shot during the purges of 1937-1938.
Just days before Stalin's death, certain religious sects were outlawed and persecuted.

Many religions popular in the ethnic regions of the Soviet Union including the Roman Catholic Church, Uniats, Baptists, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, etc. underwent ordeals similar to the Orthodox churches in other parts: thousands of monks were persecuted, and hundreds of churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, sacred monuments, monasteries and other religious buildings were razed.

Correctly what was done was in the name of communism. A good cummunist ought to be an atheist. So there politics and anti religion is mixed.

Hitler did not kill in the name of Lord God.

Also Hitler was an atheist.

I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.

My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited.

-Adolf Hitler, in his speech in Munich on 12 April 1922

The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity

The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity

You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?

What most people fail to realize is that current affairs of the world are under control of God's adversary, the one who was able to offer Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in Matthew chapter 4.

That is why Jesus was inclined to say ". . . the ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me." (John 14:30)

Seems hopeless, doesn't it?

But it is not.

But this would then bring up the contention of why would God let Satan do all this? Unless Satan was equally as powerful as God. This, of course, is probably blasphemous, but it would get rid of the evil paradox and would make the whole struggle against evil (plus the supposed events of the non-Biblical Rapture) less of a complete farce.

Ultimately, the only thing we can say about Hitler was he used to be Christian, but he may have rejected Christianity in the end. But there is no evidence to suggest he was atheist

Agree......He started to reject religion after his experiences during WWI.

I found Rama´s statement that Christians are bad and atheists haven´t done anything like rape, war and all that kind of things very one sided.

The answer, of course, has to do with free will.

It IS all about free will. Man made a choice and God lets man make those choices. He also lets man suffer the consequences of those choices.

Satan is not equally powerful as God. Satan, for one, cannot create life as God does. Satan was originally an angel created by God. The creation cannot be as powerful as the Creator.
