'There were such horrible conditions that God decided not to go there'


That's what one Auschwitz survivor stated, although God is some squeamish being. And it seems like God is more inclined to "hang with" SS scum instead of their victims, by not only protecting vast majority of the Holocaust perpetrators, but rewarding them with a "good life" .

Those believing in a Protestant God that makes righteous prosper, or the New Age concept that "Karma is going to bite you", are really going to be disappointed to see that the reverse is often true: SS guard becomes an "Honorable Justice" after the war (not to mention Josef Mengele's comfortable lifestyle in Argentina & Brazil until his death in old age); while the Soviet Holocaust survivor is send to the Gulag.

Of course you can always hang on the unfalsifiable believe that punishment will come after death: but here again, according to the Christian doctrine, the protestant SS guard may go to heaven, while Jewish or Atheist Holocaust survivor will suffer another, this time eternal, Holocaust in hell after the death.

Epicrus recognized the farce of the existence of God millennia ago:

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

God is also pretty good at genocide. After all, he wiped out the entire population of Sodoma and Gomorra, and he drowned the entire human population except for Noah and his family in a giant flood. Makes Hitler look like an amateur.
