where was god at auschwitz?

Answer 1

No. There's no god anywhere.

Answer 2

Just because there is a God, doesn't mean time would stop and some amazing thing would happen to stop tragedy. I think the way God started out versus the way it is today has created a bad illusion. Religion as we know it today was not to celebrate an all powerful being, but used as a form of control. Through fear people submitted. When early people were killed for not keeping the faith, they learned quick to say Oh yes I believe your exact beliefs. After the fact, people have either forced their beliefs onto their children. The other factor is when people are so depressed or desperate, the idea of a god that will give them salvation or peace is comforting so it is believed. How many times you see a reborn christian WHOo says everything is bad, love the lord and you'll be saved. Ask them what they were doing before they were "reborn" and I'll bet you'll hear "oh i was on drugs, a wh0re, etc". They can't accept what they've done and take responsibility so its easier to believe Satan drove them to that and then have a clean slate by saying "no mater what you've done you're OK now because you believe". Anyway, to get to your question. yes there was a "God". However the idea of him stopping Hitler and saving the Jews instantly is not what would happen. That type of thinking comes from the "controlled" type of religion explained above. Personally, I believe there is a God. Not so much that everything was created by him/her/whatever, but it gives me comfort to "pray" when I have big problems or horrible situations. It basically is saying I cannot control this situation, I will now trust God to help steer me. Sorry, when i saw that question, I had a lot to get off my chest. I really hate it when some religions create or blame "Satan" for their own personal issues like, "Oh I got the speeding ticket because Satan distracted me with evil thoughts". Or Satan made me grouchy when I was tired. Um yeah, how about just be responsible for your own actions already.

Answer 3

Okay this is not my answer it is the answer of the Christians I talk to so here it is: When the time of Jesus was up and Jesus returned to live with God in heaven, and learn from God. God stopped ruling people, he then set upon the earth free will. This is where Satan roams free over the Earth, God will not intervene until the time of the Apocalypse. So where was God at Auschwitz? In heaven watching waiting for the right time to come down and wipe out all of humanity.

I think this is a load of crock, but that was their answer.

Answer 4

Corrie Ten Boom was a resident of the Nazi resorts known as concentration camps. She lost most of her family during this horrid time.

The housing that the woman were made to live in was infested with fleas. There was no way to get rid of them and they were bitten relentllessly, their bodies covered with bites.

Yet, because of the fleas the soilders would not go into their housing or have anything to do with them. In this way, the women were not raped or abused in other ways by the guards.

Corrie Ten Boom thanked God for the gift of the fleas as protection from their enemies.

As for the creators fo Auschwitz, isn't it interesting that they were believed in the supremacy of man, that genetically there was a superior race. They were not humble nor did they recognize any God as being superior to them. They beileved in themselves as the rulers of their own lives. Sounds pretty much like atheistic humanists...

If you are really interested in finding out where God was in the concentration camps, read any of the books by Corrie Ten Boom.

Answer 5

Where was God during the time the Jews were in Persia: Read the book of Esther. Where was God during the Egyptian enslavement: Read the book of Exodus. Where was God when the Jews were defeated by the Babylonians: Read the book of Daniel. Where was God when the temple was desecrated by the Greeks: Read the Maccabees. Were was he when Israel was occupied by the Romans: He walked with them, Read the Gospels. Unfortunately, the Cannon of scripture is closed and on this side of heaven we'll never know how God was working during the Holocaust. But I assure you he was there.

Answer 6

God was there for sure. I cannot personally say, but I have heard -first hand- stories from Holocaust Survivors that they had experiences that sustained them. The question is not that God was absent, the question is why people would do such evil. Turning away from God and doing invisible (for a time) and heinous acts.
It is not a disproof of God, it is a illustration that evil also exists, and the tangible effects of it.

Answer 7

Yes.

Interestingly, the gas used in the gas chambers at Auschwitz was Zyklon B, invented by Fritz Haber, a Jew himself and Germany's greatest expert during the 1st World War on the subject of killing enemy soldiers by poison gases. His wife was so horrified at the pleasure he took in killing people by poison gas that she shot herself at one of his dinner parties. Ironically his own invention was turned against his own people.

God allows many things to happen -- but in the end of the day He turns even what was evil-intended to the ultimate good of His cause.

Answer 8

Christians the better question is after the death of JESUS almost 1950 years ago where the hell is he now, the world is still suffering more than when he was a man.
When is Armageddon coming? GOD no longer cares about us or Jesus was a hoax ( a fake )

Answer 9
