I want to enrich this topic with a movie I recently saw
God on Trial (2008)

Inmates in Auschwitz put god on trial to try to find an answer why and what kind of god would allow them and their children to be killed and tortured like this. First they go trough their Jewish "history" of persecution and try to reason that god did protect them by making all their historical enemies disappear while they and their holy Torah survive, but then some other arguments follow.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
