World War 2 provides evidence that God exists ... God promised Abraham that whoever harmed the Jews would be harmed themselves. Hitler harmed the Jewish people during WW2, and he was defeated, even though he had an extremely powerful and technologically advanced military force. His persecuation of the Jewish people caused his defeat, because God was keeping his promise.

Hitler got his ass kicked on the Western front because of the unprecedented industrial might of the US and the brave sacrifces of all the Allied forces (not to mention the unprecedented cooperation between countries) and on the Eastern front because of the truly unbelievable conditions the Russians survived and the devastating numbers of men they were willing to sacrifice to kick Hitler's ass.
God had nothing to do with it, and to give him the credit takes away from the truly heroic sacrifices of a great many brave men and women.
1.) So what about all those other countries that wouldn't take the Jews when Hitler wanted to kick them out of Germany, thus forcing him to come up with another way to "deal" with them? Is turning your back on the Jews just not "harm" enough for God?
2.) So if Hitler had just tried to take over Europe while killing of homosexuals, the disabled, political dissidents, and non-Jewish racial minorities, he'd have won?
Its sad that you have belittled the sacrifice of many millions of people who died and fought in that stupid war. One may as well wonder why God let 6 million of them die before he intervened.
And indeed people were more pissed off that Hitler had done terrible things to their countries than the jews hence their war.
Took his damn time about it, had 5 uncles in that, my mother only brother didn't make it. Why didn't he just stop it from happening. What, we need a real nasty lesson every time we turn around? Has to be population control from on high, Which means the Bibles wrong about his desires. intresting how that part of the world's (War torn europe) pretty atheistic now
God promised Abraham that whoever harmed the Jews would be harmed themselves.
And after about 6 million or so, he decided he should put down the Cheetos and do something?
I think that whenever this statement does show up (from Jews) it's usually as a joke. The fact that one of the three major powers was explicitly atheist (USSR) casts a long, cold shadow of doubt on the truth of this statement. Why did god need the help of "teh athiest kommies" with good ol' christian Britain and America to do all the dirty work?
I'd say the short answer is that it's a load of crap.
I guess, that unusually cold winter could be explained that killed off most of the nazis moving on russia and also the fact Hitler decided to randomly kill himself...
But then I could say a giant pikachu did that, and you couldn't disprove that, hence you haven't proved God exists.
But, yes, I believe in God anyway.
Actually, it was the RUSSIANS who defeated Hitler although us jingoistic Americans always took the full credit for it.
The Waffen SS killed 18 million unarmed civilians of all faiths, so don't start selecting only one group as being special.
Translation:
1) Germany was defeated in World War II
2) I don't know why.
3) If i don't know why, then there can't have been a normal reason.
4) God did it!
5) But why?
6) I know the Germans killed lots of Jews...
7) Jews used to be God's chosen people (but now English speaking white American's like me are)
8) God did it because the Germans hurt the Jews!
9) Yay! God's a great guy! (though his timing sucks)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
