Events like the Holocaust show that God doesn't exist YxyPV
I am arguing for this statement.
God is dead.
If there were a God, "God" would
surely have prevented the
Holocaust. Since God did not
prevent it, then God as traditionally
understood either does not exist or
has changed in some
way.
For some this means that God has
abandoned them, while for others it
means God never did exist.
A piece of evidence to support this
is that the dictionary definition of
God is image, person or thing that
is worshipped and is all-powerful,
all-knowing and all-good. The
holocaust wasn't all good and God didn't intervene. Therefore, the idea
of God, seems irrational.
Jews must be in the world for
themselves. And the suffering may
mean a turn to atheism or perhaps
a turn to some more like pantheism.
Therefore events like the holocaust
show that God can't exist.
I am arguing against this statement.
Terrible events such as the
Holocaust are the price we have to
pay for having free will. Some
people think that God let the
holocaust happen because God
didn't cause it, our bad human
choices did, and we have to pay for
having free will. Others say the
reason why God didn't interfere
was because God will not and
cannot interfere with history,
otherwise our free will, would effectively cease to exist.
A piece of evidence to support this,
is Eliezer Berkovits. He stresses
that God is all-powerful but that he
curtails his own freedom to respect
human freedom, even with such
horrific consequences. This shows
that there is no reason why events
like the holocaust show that God
doesn't exist, therefore so the
statement made must be invalid.
