God on trial

God on Trial is a 2008 television play written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce. The play takes place in Auschwitz during World War II. The Jewish prisoners put God on trial in absentia for abandoning the Jewish people. The question is whether God has broken his covenant with the Jewish people by allowing the Germans to commit genocide. I like to present this as evidence why we as believers still believe. What to do with God in hell on earth? Do we find him lacking? Yes, but the real question is what to do next. Acceptance that it's not a one way relationship and turn to prayer. "So what do we do?" says one prisoner. "We pray," says the other, and they all rise, face one way and begin to pray. The scene fades to the present day, with visitors to Auschwitz standing stunned in the same space; the ghostly figures of the prisoners are seen among them, praying.

God once existed but was executed for countless genocides, several exintion level events and blatant cosmological terrorism.
