Ricky Gervais tells two holocaust jokes during Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. I think about the 2nd joke a lot.
The 2nd joke is a critique on divine hiddenness, and the argument from the existence of evil, which points out a contradiction of an 'omni god' which is supposedly omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and omnibenificent. Soviet gulags and Nazi concentration camps...I had relatives who died in both...where was god? Oh yes, checking out the doings of onanists, fornicators, and adulterers...he apparently likes to watch. The jokes told by Gervaise represent the kind of black humour that helped keep some zeks and musulmanner sane in the insane worlds that they were trapped in...they are a kind of coping mechanism in dealing with the bleakest of adversity. https://digitalcommons.denison.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1066&context=religion The jokes always saved us: humour in the time of Stalin
The Third Joke was also funny , your on the other side !! I have done that seeing the steering wheel not in front of me !! Sloth
I grapple with what the role of God is. I guess the role of God is not to help humanity out of great suffering. The role of God may be to hold your hand while you suffer? As we watch our once great nation collapse under the auspices of Globalism, I see Satan at work constantly. However, I don't see God fighting back. At least not very effectively.
perhaps that is a part of the plan??? (wanna know the plan... requires reading the BOOK) you me we... are free to choose our path... is God doing anything??? some think the orange man was sent by God??? can't say myself... and can't say I like the man... never meant him... BUT I LIKED WHAT HE DID AND WAS DOING... a point to consider... the NWO or LWO can NOT succeed so long as America remains free...
Who is to say that one persons suffering is more than anothers? If the Bible says that God is not going to intervene and people are free to torture each other until the apocalypse, why would one, a hundred, or even a million make a difference? To me, the real question is why do those people who find their car keys think that it is God doing it because they asked?
It does NOT say God will NOT intervene... gets tiresome when people say things that are incorrect because they've never read it... they make assumptions using information they heard somewhere and that info is often twisted or a flat lie...
