This is beyond classic. Not only do I agree with these I am certainly guilty of probably half of them.
God on Trial
Why is there so much suffering in the world and what kind of God would allow it to happen? Universal questions about faith and philosophy are at the heart of God on Trial, which was inspired by the legend that a group of concentration camp prisoners conducted a mock trial against the Almighty God.
