Societal Justice Vs Biblical Justice

Posted April 15, 2012 by TTownsend

It is typical for believers of the Abrahamic faiths to ascribe praiseworthy and certainly virtuous characteristics to their respective deities.  These qualities are so infinitely unimaginable that they are claimed to surpass all of human comprehension!

“God is all loving (Omnibenevolent), all powerful (Omnipotent), and all knowing (Omniscient).”

Most are familiar with these basic three, but one other claim heard often is that God is “just”.  Not only do they claim that he is just, they claim that he is the highest form or degree of justice.

“God never has and never will do that which is ‘unjust’.”

The main response given in defense of God’s claimed “justness” is that he delivers justice via the afterlife.  For those who live their lives “sinning” or doing evil, hell awaits them, and for those who live their lives righteously and in accordance with doctrine, they will receive the ultimate reward or promise of salvation.

We’re here to Unite the atheists and freethinkers of the South! We have a new more productive design and everything appears to be going fine.

The Sauce is spreading throughout the South. We’re bringing like minds together and the speed at which we do this is only going to increase as the Race to Reason Rally heats up.

Atheists, Humanists, and Agnostics at LSU!

and

University of North Alabama Secular Student Alliance!
Prepare for rapid expansion within the following weeks.
