>"Blessed be God's name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because he kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers, end up in the furnaces? Praised be Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar?" - Elie Wiesel
how do you respond?
>personal gods
Right, I meant Umbtah Jumba, God of Turmoil and Death
Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna were all created by men

Elie Wiesel is a fucking subhuman liar though
He is notoriously know to be an impostor who never set a foot in a camp
An actual survivor knew the dude who actually beared the number Wiesel claim to have had, and he called him on his bullshit

God either had the power to stop it but didn't, and is therefore not benevolent, or did not have the power to stop it, and so is not omnipotent. Checkmate religion
If there were a god, then He would have finished the job.

Parents let their kids fight. One of them might bruise a knee. The parents could have prevented that, but chose to let their child carry the responsibilty for his/her actions. Autonomy.
This doesn't mean that the parents are benevolent, nor does it mean that they lacked the power to stop it.
Checkmate atheists

The Jews are God's chosen people. Retard.
>>486255
God is omnipotent, he can instilate the will not to fight within men
Parents can't do that with their children
>>486259
Jews were abandoned by Yahweh in 160 A.D..

If a parent could control their child's behaviour, actually doing so would infringe on that child's autonomy. Maybe God respects this autonomy.
Just an idea
>>486288
That's what you get for killing Jesus

>Timmy and Jimmy start throwing punches. Timmy's dad stands there and watches. Suddenly a loud 'crack' rings out. Timmy's arm is broken. Jimmy keeps fighting. Timmy's dad stands there and watches. Timmy starts screaming at Jimmy to stop but he won't, so Timmy starts screaming at his dad to help. Timmy's dad stands there and watches. A horrific scream rings out as Jimmy gouges out one of Timmy's eyes. Jimmy squeezes the eye in his fist and it turns into a goo, then Jimmy kicks Timmy square in the nuts while he is lying on the ground clutching his face. Timmy's dad stands there and watches. Another kid called Sam hears all the commotion and runs over and breaks up the fight. Timmy's dad stands there and watches. Jimmy complains that his clothes are ruined because their covered with blood. Sam lends Jimmy the money to buy new clothes. Timmy's dad stands there and watches.

That doesn't mean He doesn't send them to Hell when they don't believe in Christ

Well, the holocaust wasn't successful, now was it?
>>486214
Well first we must know that G'd concept of benevolence is different than of man.
The question would be:
Who defines what is good ?
The answer would be G'd not man.
>>486001
OT God doesn't always refer to NT God look into Gnosticism OP
Humans are subject to consequences of their own actions, so think of that when they cause religious war and persecution, they do not live God, they have ever a different motive that doesn't even concern themself with God.
You shouldn't blame God for your problems, man up and see that you are responsible for what you done / need to do.
God bless

>Maybe God respects this autonomy.
Im okay with that as long as he isnt gonna judge what people do with that (since its heavily dependent on the context God made them come to life in)
