Where Was God During The Holocaust

-yes the holocaust was an act of evil (everyone knows right from wrong no matter who you are) I beg to differ. Who decides what is right from wrong? It is evident that Hitler and his Nazi anti-semtist agenda believed that they were RIGHT. And who are you to say they are wrong? You say everyone "knows" right from wrong, but who decides what is right and what is wrong? Right and wrong becomes impossible unless you have a firm BELIEF that something is right and that something is also wrong. You KNOW only what you BELIEVE to be true, what you BELIEVE does not apply to everyone, it certainly did not apply to Hitler, who certainly was outspoken for doing "good" for Germany through trying to execute a genocide of a whole ethnicity. -yes there is good and evil but it dose not mean that this god was the moral law giver I agree with you that the act was evil. And I raise a single point that if there is EVIL, then there is also GOOD. Then there must be something that SEPERATES good from evil. Hence there is a MORAL LAW that seperates good and evil. Once there is a moral law GIVER, we come to the controversial question: "Who is the moral law giver?" I would list 3 possibilties for the moral law giver for the sake of simplicity. 1. YOU are the moral law giver. The moral law is relative, in that everyone has their own view of what is good and what is evil. So if Hitler, as an individual, believed that the Holocaust was good, then the Holocaust is good. What YOU think becomes irrelevent because the moral law applies to us all individually and is relative. So therefore the Moral Law cannot exist because it is not a LAW if it applies to YOU, but not Hitler. And once the Moral Law ceases to exist nothing seperates good from evil. And your initial stance becomes invalid because nothing is evil or good. 2. Society is the moral law giver. We as a society decide what is good and what is bad. I will use a simple analogy to illustrate my point. A few decades ago, Abortion and Gay Marriage was ILLEGAL. We now see that Abortion is legal, and Gay Marriage slowly working its way to becoming legal. The Moral Law has changed. It has evolved. Something that CHANGES cannot be a LAW. Hence, society cannot be the Moral Law Giver. And if there is no Moral Law giver there is no moral law, and nothing seperates good from evil. 3. God is the moral law giver. He decides what is good and what is evil. His Moral Laws do not change over time. They were already given to us through Holy Scriptures, or for example the ten commandments. The ten commandments do not change. They do not compromise or evolve. They are what they are. Hence God's Moral Law is unchanging. Only God out of the three candidates is valid. -you don't even know if god is real even if you do believe "That is a question that I do not know the answer for" why you trying to prove when ur sources require "faith" the bible is not a reliable source You are absolutely right, I do not KNOW if god is real. But that is the same as ANYONE in this world. How can you know if George Washington existed? Do you merely believe what historians say about him? What makes a history book so credible? Unless you MEET George Washington you cannot know if he really existed. You BELIEVE that he existed through the evidence given. That is the same concept and logic I use with the bible. I believe that the man Jesus Christ existed because there are Roman Documents that state that he was indeed crucified on the cross. This historical document is no less credible than the textbooks on George Washington. We really KNOW very very little. We believe many many things. And we find somethings more believable than others, which is absolutely fine. I believe that the bible is a reliable source, but that is besides the point. The point is that you are questioning the existence of a god because of an evil act, but evil and good cannot exist without a god (read the 3 candidates above again), unless you are your own god, which so many people are inclined to think. Through faith you believe what you think you know. We believe what scientists and historians tell us. We do not KNOW if they are telling the truth, we give them credibility, and through faith we choose to believe them, and we also choose to doubt them. I think if you think about this deeply enough, I believe you will understand how much faith rules our lives, truth, and even our own existence.
