That’s the million dollar question. If you survived something credit the unseen god. When like you pointed out— god works in mysterious ways.

He was pouting in a distant "corner" of the universe because not enough schools on earth are forcing the kids to pray to him.

Have to exist or give a shit

God protected the ones who lived. The ones who died were either sinners themselves or were object lessons to sinners close to them who refuse to repent & follow god.... yes, I have heard this. It's why I am back in the gym. My eyes rolled so hard to the back of my head, I saw my ass...can't have that.

"God" was doing the shooting. Obviously all of the religio-nazis were quick to claim that it was Satan, but we know Satan is but a scapegoat for anything "God" fucks up.

where was god when my people were being murdered by the nazi's ? I will wait also

God is always present, always watching. It is dependent on the theist perspective, either God actually wills harm and lets bad things happen or he prefers to let evil happen because he lets that bad Satan rule the world. In either case god is not worth worshiping.

He was, undercover as Satan, as he always does to promote prayers to him...

God was catching a matinee showing of Hobbes and Shaw.

In his summer house, ignoring prayers in the Hamptons. . All those tiresome demands, a god needs a break!
