Reply #24: The Holocaust proved that God was very much dead!

[IndianaGreen]

The "God is Dead" was referring to the classic belief that God was the master of history, in total control of human events. The Holocaust created a crisis of belief: if God was indeed in control of human events, then He was a sorry sob responsible for the deaths of millions, if on the other hand, God chose to not interfere in human affairs so that we may all have free reign to exercise our will, then God was damned for not lifting a finger to stop the carnage.

The God of history is dead! Man created that God into his own image. Now we are free to pursue spirituality in accordance to our own conscience, free of the constraints of man's theology.

Man is capable of doing good or doing evil. There is no Satan, no Hell, no Heaven!
