Fallen world, free will, yada yada.

Part of the reason (perhaps largely, in fact) that I have no belief in a God is that (as far as I can tell) it's not falsifiable. As I look at the universe, I try to imagine what it would look like if there were no supernatural agencies of any kind...and I can't see the slightest difference between that and the actual world around me.

Now, that certainly doesn't prove that the supernatural (ghosts, angels, demons, God, whatever) doesn't exist...absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence...but lacking such evidence, why assume that it does?

The people who conceived and ran that place, almost without exception, died violent deaths. Some were killed by acts of war (Heydrich), some by their own hand (Himmler, Hitler), and some by the hangman's noose (Hoess, Frank, Eichmann).

And if they didn't repent before they died, they're in hell forever.

I'm not following your logic - Death Camps therefore unjust God?

I'm fully aware of many of the great evils committed throughout history. I do not lay the blame for the death camps or any of the other countless evils at the feet of God. And when I was speaking of a just God, I was speaking of the final account we will all give.
