God on Trial (2008 TV Movie)

Stephen Dillane: Schmidt

Quotes 

• Idek : What did the Romans want? That the Jews live like Romans and abandon the Torah.

  Schmidt : And where are the Romans now?

  Idek : They are dust.

  Schmidt : And the Torah?

  Idek : Still living, still flowering, still illuminating the world.

• Schmidt : Imagine God is a surgeon, and he has to remove a gangrenous leg or an arm to cure the whole body. It's a violent act. It's painful. But it is also loving. How would it be if we were living through a time like this? Not a punishment, a purification.
