By making them suffer painful deaths at the hand of a mass murderer's bullets? EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THAT CHURCH SUFFERED INJURIES. No one was spared. That kind of wholesale massacre has not been seen since Sodom!
And God did nothing.
That leaves only three possibilities: 1: The church was wholly evil; 2: God is evil; 3: There is no God.
@jmyrlefuller You are not alone asking these questions. They have always been asked in times that try men's souls, most especially by those with faith in God. Sometimes the questions are asked in vocal anger, sometimes in silent despair.
Questioning God in dark times is a part of belief in God; it is searching for Him when the light is dim.
Reading your posts reminded me of a movie I saw years ago ... almost ten years ago. It is about Jewish prisoners in Auschwitz waiting to learn who is the next to die. Their thoughts and conversation turn to God .... their confusion about Him and anger toward him.
They did not diminish their anger and confusion. Nor did they dismiss it. They put "God on Trial", which is the title of the movie.
Here is a link to just the verdict reached.

The ones left are wondering aloud what to do now.
The answer, even after the verdict: "Now we pray".
The whole movie is extraordinary. It is thought provoking and food for the soul. I recommend it.
