God on Trial

Tonight

Masterpiece Contemporary.

How did this happen?

God does not listen

our agony?

Why does

anything about it?

These are questions asked

in great distress,

questions the

believers have

since the beginning

history,

Questions that remain

have answers.

Tonight, these are

questions asked

in a barrack

Auschwitz concentration,

where a group

of ordinary men

jailed and sentenced

to death without committing any crime

do what they

may think

expressing the agony

of their situation.

Prosecute God ..

They are Jews,

the chosen people,

who have made

a covenant with God,

and in return God

he promised to protect them.

How can they accept

this broken promise?

God has the right

to abandon

and get away with it?

Even atheists

among them believe

humans

moral right

to know the reason for

the evil around the world ..

Your questions multiply.

But silence persists.
