I pose this question to challenge the fact God is alive and actively working in the life of many, but the key point I wish to draw to u is that as evil prevails, God uses it as a mean of chastisement for our sinfulness.

What is your stand?

if you study the history of WWII you will be amassed on how many miracles happened. So many people were saved in amazing ways. Yes G-d was there.

World war 2 occurred during the time of the New Covenant. Under this Covenant God does not sanction warfare between flesh and blood ie between human and human but only against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ep 6:12). God desires His people only to engage in spiritual warefare and not natural warfare. Therefore people motivated by their selfish or evil intentions (in some instances instigated by the devil) caused the second world war. God's plan is allow sin and evil in this world to run its course according to the prophecies in the Holy Bible and end all at His appointed time. It is inevitable that mankind's acts of sins will cause suffering but God promises that He will deliver His people from destruction. In the Christian context there is even victory in death. So God is in control of everything according to His plan and timetable.

he is in the heart of the poor people. the reason World War II ended is that many people around the world prayed for World Peace. if God isn't alive, World War II might be continuing right now, right? hey why use the term "alive"? use the term "present" instead.

listen, God gave this earth to mankind.....we are the ones to make the choices...bad choices , bad things happen.good choices, good things happen.
God will not violate His rules and regulations, we are the ones doing that.
most people think God is "allowing" bad things to go on here(such as war). actually it is mankind who has the authority to put a stop to evil.

God is every where .......but He only defends of oppressed people who are real faithful. May be there were not a real faithful people on world war 1 or 2 or ....to defend them.

As you know God supported his messengers in any wars.

As always, and ever since Christ's atonement, God was present in the soul of every faithful and repentant Christian, no matter what side he might have been on:

The Veteran's Soul 11/11/06

Today is Veteran's Day, and I can't think of a better day to read a
book titled Chicken Soup for the Veteran's Soul.


In it, John McCain shares a story about of a fellow named Mike, shot
down in 1967 and captured by the Vietnamese. Mike grew up poor in
Alabama, wrote McCain. "He didn't wear shoes until he was 13 years old.
Character was his only wealth."

Mike made a needle out of a piece of bamboo and gradually sewed scraps
of red and white cloth into an American flag. He sewed the flag onto
the inside of his prisoner's shirt. Every afternoon, the American
prisoners hung Mike's flag on the wall and said the Pledge of Allegiance.

One day, the guards discovered the flag and confiscated it. They beat
Mike severely, puncturing his eardrum and breaking several ribs. Later,
after everyone else had fallen asleep, Mr. McCain noticed Mike in the
corner under the light bulb. His eyes nearly swollen shut, Mike quietly
picked up his needle and began sewing a new flag.

The book offers numerous other tales about servicemen and women that
will give you goose bumps and bring tears to your eyes.

One fellow explains how he was blown off the USS Astoria. He grabbed
his rubber lifebelt and inflated it. It kept him afloat several hours. He
became fond of the lifebelt, particularly since it was made in his home
town of Akron, Ohio.

During his next leave, he told his family his survival tale and showed
them the lifebelt. His mother picked it up and was amazed at what she
saw. She'd been an inspector at a local rubber plant where the lifebelts
were made. Her inspection number was on the lifebelt that saved her
son's life.

Another man, whose family practiced bigotry and racism during his
childhood, taught his own children to treat every man with dignity and
respect, regardless of their skin color, because of what he experienced in
World War II.

He was Sgt. L.G. Pool, a Texas-born bull rider who he rode the Sherman
tank he commanded with the same enthusiasm. He was always the first out
front and the last to wrap up for the day. But one night, he ran out of
fuel. He and his men, trapped five miles behind enemy lines, were
"sitting ducks."

Two other men volunteered to travel five miles on foot carrying a
five-gallon can of fuel. They were guided to Sgt. Pool's tank by the sight
and sound of gunfire. Sgt. Pool and his men were saved because of the
bravery of the volunteers. One was Native American, the other
African-American.

Other stories celebrate the best of the human spirit. There's a story
about four chaplains on a sinking ship. There weren't enough lifebelts
to go around and each of the four took theirs off and strapped them onto
others. The chaplains died when the ship went down.

After an American battalion pushed back the Germans near a small
Belgian town, one GI heard church bells ringing. The town now in American
hands, the GI went into town to celebrate Mass. He saw a priest begin the
service, but there was no altar boy. The GI, a former altar boy, walked
to the altar and performed the job.

After Mass he followed the priest into the sacristy. He kept his hands
in the prayer position, while the priest removed his garments. Beneath
his garments, the priest wore a German officer's uniform: he was a
chaplain in the German army. The men shook hands and parted, both
exhilarated by the truth that "even in war our common humanity, under the same
God, can triumph over hatred and division."

It's an oddity of human existence that in the midst of the hell of war,
as human nature is at its most violent, human goodness and beauty are
at their highest. Such goodness and beauty are occurring now in our
current disputes. Hopefully, someone will write a book about that soon.

But it's something else to remember as we honor our veterans today, and
pray for the men and women in harm's way now.
