About

The phase “where is your God?” dates back at least as early as some of the first transcriptions of the book of Micah, passage 7:10 in the Torah and the Bible. Between different versions, the phrase has been translated as “where is your God?” “Where is the Lord your God?” and “Where is your God now?”

The question has long stood as a phrase used both by religious people who tell parables involving one’s faith being challenged, and by those challenging others’ faiths.

Beginning in about 2005, the phrase began appearing on image macros all over the web.

The images generally consist of any incredulous situation, any picture that warrents either an emotional response of fear or confoundment. Often times, the image may be nonsensical, and is presented as though it is an ungodly abomination.

This phrase comes from the movie “The Ten Commandments” when a Hebrew slave master asks “Where’s your messiah now?” The Simpsons used the line from the movie in the episodes Homer Loves Flanders and Simpsons Bible Stories with Wiggum delivering the line “Where’s your messiah now?”. In the movie Pitch Black, Riddick asks the holy man “Where the hell’s your God now?” So variations of this have been around even before it was popular on the internet.

definetely this quote comes from the movie “Pitch Black” with Vin Diesel!
in the movie there are 4 muslims of which only one speaks english
when 2 of them were killed, vin diesel asks the english speaking one something around the words of “there are two of you already dead, how can you still believe in god after that?”
short time later, the third guy gets snatched and diesel asks the guy “where is your god now?” in those very exact words

“where is God now” is in the book.

“Where is YOUR God now” I haven’t been able to find.

It goes back further. Depending on the translation, Micah 7:10 contains either “where is your God now” or “where is the Lord your God now?”
