re: #270 A Man for all Seasons

I don’t get Fisher..Maybe he never read the bible.
We all have free will and God will let you do whatever you want..
You can be a Hitler or Mother Teresa..
Fisher doesn’t think those 6 million Jews being led to the gas chamber wasn’t praying with fervor? Did God step in to save his chosen people?
God wasn’t punishing you if a drunk driver killed your child. It was free will to drive while drunk.
God makes it rain on the righteous and wicked alike.

I was thinking that last night. That God was in the homes of the Jews in Germany before and during the time they were stolen from their homes and taken to their deaths in concentration camps. Of course those that adhere to the maniacal writings of Martin Luther might think otherwise. Perhaps Fischer would fall into this camp. In theory God would not turn his back even on unbelievers — I say in theory because I’m an atheist. However, if I believed in God I would think of him or her as being far more benevolent than the likes of Fischer. There was no plan or destiny for yesterday’s victims. It all came together in many ways by chance. However, the only way to prevent such horror is up to us human beings.
