Why do a lot of people doubt the existence of god in horrific situations like the holocaust or school shootings

my opinion is that people think doubt this because they think god would of helped them get out of that situation but they didnt. These are extremely sad moments and its almost like you think its gods fault for not making this terrible accident stop before anyone got hurt i really hope this helps    

today we'd use social media to quickly spread a controversial idea, but in the eighteenth century, the printed pamphlet was highly effective. and thomas paine took full advantage of it. on january 9, 1776, when paine published his pamphlet, "common sense," he wanted to push the american people toward independence from britain. it ultimately ignite the american revolution. thomas paine argued that the monarchy was evil and should be rejected as a form of government. to underscore his point, he cited the bible to argue his case -- in judges 8: 22-23: "the israelites said to gideon, 'rule over us, you and your son and your ' gideon told them, 'i will not rule over you. the lord will rule over you'" (nrsv).

it is true my friend
