Where was God during the holocaust?

You convinced me; no God that should be part of our religions. If there is a God, I do not think he deserves adherents. Let him/her go to another planet to have adherents.

I heard He/She was doing some kind of sex tourist thing in a distant galaxy of Abell 2218. Soliciting sex with underage demigods and cherubs that limey bastard!

God is a Limey? You must have been reading Shaw . . .

Well my only acting gig was in college as Major Sergius Saranoff in Shaw's Arms and the Man.

What's God got to do with it?

He punished whiney selfcenterd jews like you!

What a right little Nazi you are . . .

A Jew with a name like Alan McDougall, come on kid be real.?

This question about God and the holocuast was a serious effort to get silly idiots like you to think

I think that for those "believers" in the camps, the "God/afterlife" concept was all they had left, and that was reinforced by the occasional acts of humanity performed between fellow inmates and outside sympathisers. Apparently, Jehovah's witnesses were exemplary in this respect.

It seems clear to me that the human craving for an "overall controller" (be it deity or dictator) is the cognitive price humans pay for their limited "control advantage" over their environment. This craving naturally emphasises what is called both "good" and "bad" in their tribal instincts.

Why should I listen to a lying despot like you? Go to hell where you belong, that should be great for a NAZI like you, you can mingle with all your fellow reprobates, forever

The really pathetic thing (other than his butchery of English) is that this clown is a Dane. The Germans occupied Denmark, and killed Danes, just as they did in any country they occupied, but i learned early on that this clown is a great admirer of the Nazis and their alleged superiority.

He's a putz, don't waste your time.

Wasn't that a 80's Tina Turner number 1 song?
What's God got to do with it??

Whatever else happened during the Holocaust, the Jewish people did not whine.
So, carry on with whatever this thread is supposed to be about.

If you were God, what would you have done?

One thing I do think is that man is capable of evil with or without God.
This little verse makes it sound as if God is supposed to be some sort of super hero - swooping in to negate man's evil intentions before or as they occur - and if that doesn't happen, in other words if everyone is not saved immediately from any suffering - God doesn't exist or is not doing his/her 'job'.

If there were no evil in the world - would more people then believe in God?
Do people only not believe in God because there is evil, and or sickness, poverty, pestilence, sadness, cruelty, hatred, etc., etc?

Who's handiwork is all of this? And by 'this' - I mean the negative and the positive. We can see what man does - a hell of lot of evil **** - as well as good - but to whom do we attribute the rest?

I meant to say 'whose' handiwork is this?

Many Jewish people of the holocuast lost their faith in God because of this.

Others say it was all about freewill which God has given humanity, without any reservations of strings attached
