I should have posted this earlier, but I just watched a movie called “God on Trial,” produced jointly by the BBC and a PBS station in Boston. The movie is about a group of Jewish men facing death at Auschwitz who place God on trial for breach of contract. During the trial, they discuss many substantive issues, such as the problem of evil (theodicy) and the nature of God. While the film does not come out in favor of atheism, it also does not shy away from the issues we discuss at the SSU. I don’t know if PBS will run it again (it was on the Sunday night program Masterpiece), and it is not yet available on DVD, but I highly recommend it to everyone as soon as it becomes available.
