Was Norm MacDonald Describing Tzimtzum?
2,047 views
Norm MacDonald passed away today. Hashem blessed him with a special mind. More than just a comedian, he was a profound thinker. Here are some of his thoughts on the age old questions of why bad things happen to good people. The answer is astounding. It mirrors a kabbalistic concept called "tzimztum" which means Divine concealment or withdrawal. May Hashem comfort his family, friends, and fans.

but the one question that have always
bothered me and i was about is that any
everybody
is how can
children
die
if there's a banana on god right
and how can
6 million go through the chimney
at birkenau you know
and and so this is a question that
i think i have an answer for
because i think a lot about this kind of
stuff
because i'd really like there to be a
god danny here's my answer for the
what's the answer for the chimneys
um
here's
what i believe
if there's a god and if he is good
and if he created the universe and the
earth
then an all-good being
what can he create he can't create good
because that would just be expansion
so all he can create is bad
so he creates bad
and then in a cool twist
the bad that he creates
is allowed itself in a godlike way to
create good
from the bad
because originally he created
god created good for the bad then bad
for the good and then
he gives man the
exact opportunity so
just from a standpoint of logic
which
you know is what atheists always
try to say
um
i believe
that there is an answer for
for the question of why
god allows
horrors
and that's what i come up with but uh
but i don't know i have a i have a
a rabbi
who i talk to a lot i'm not jewish no
mcdonald's no
