    Not sure if this video has been posted before here or not, but it is a powerful scene.

    I haven't watched the entire movie yet, but from this scene alone, I will be.

    Thanks for sharing, cappytan. I will look that movie up. Very powerful. I wished more people would have that moment of lucidity and introspection. I wish it would not require horrible suffering to realize we are better and more moral than God. We all are.

    First, let me say that this video is an insult to Jews who died faithful to their God.

    Second, that God did not kill the Jews during the war. Men killed the Jews during the war.

    But how easy it is to blame God for our sins.

    Frank. The play is a very thoughtful and powerful reflection on the moral and theological implications of the Holocaust.

    To ask why an omnipotent, loving and omniscient god would do nothing to alleviate the suffering of the children of his friend Abraham is a question worth pondering.

    Cofty, God does not alleviate persecution. He makes a way out but he does not take it away.
