God on Trial is a 2008 BBC/WGBH Boston television play written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and Stephen R. Pastore, starring Antony Sher, Rupert Graves and Jack Shepherd. The play takes places in Auschwitz during World War II. The Jewish prisoners put God on trial in absentia for abandoning the Jewish people. The question is if God has broken his covenant with the Jewish people by allowing the Nazis to commit genocide

  • This God fella. This Adonai. He sounds alot like Hitler doesn't he?

  • The Christians posting here should really watch the whole film before touting this excerpt as being evidence of Christianities priviledged covenant with god.

    Further, that this particular excerpt accurately describes some of the more disgusting and atrocious acts of god that negate god as a source of morality and its benevolence, thereby negating god as being a god of righteousness and goodness. As such, the modern concept of god cannot and is not that of the bible, torah or quran.

  • @ramharleyvette I guess the point about all the bloodlust and cruelty of Adonai, the God of Moses was completely lost on you...

  • David did something wrong punish David? No, I'll kill the innocent child. Yahweh is insane and psychopathic beyond measure if he even exist as described in the bible.

  • @ramharleyvette You are completely missing the point. If he exists, God doesn't care if your Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Bhuddist, Athiest or whatever; he's still a petty, malicious tyrant.

  • @antivanti Hitler is the Easter Bunny compared with God...

  • @bornagain001

    How can someone be outside of the will of an all powerful deity? Whether someone's a sinner or disbelieves should be irrelevant in regards to the raw supernatural power of a god (especially the one described in the Bible). The idea that God can't be understood without believing in him is preposterous, akin to the arguments used for imaginary friends (you won't see him, until you believe in him). And God has shown himself to "sinners" many times in the Bible, that's not an excuse.
