Chris Hedges: A Time for ‘Sublime Madness’

[Howler]

2. OMG!!!

LOVE this quote!!!
"Ralph Ellison wrote, “we had in place of freedom.” The oppressed would be the first—for they know their fate—to admit that on a rational level such a notion is absurd, but they also know that it is only through the imagination that they survive. Jewish inmates in Auschwitz reportedly put God on trial for the Holocaust and then condemned God to death. A rabbi stood after the verdict to lead the evening prayers."

Now that is a AMAZING way to empower the victims in the death camp and give them all a voice! OMG!!! I wish transcripts survived of these trials of god. From the Prosecutor's voice convincing the jury of the guilt of god to the defense attorneys defense of god. I wonder if they called witnesses. OMG!!!! Someone needs to write a book of such a trial!! I would most definitely read it! Bet they would even make a movie too. Bet it would also be picketed by the narrow minded who have NEVER suffered the pain and indignities of the prisoners in the WW2 death camps, slavery.
