prior to the argument from need?
I dont quite get what you mean, can you rephrase it.
You argued that since people need justice, therefore a god must exist to provide it. But your latter argument suggests that god exists regardless of people's needs. Thus, I'm asking you to support that.
You mean those 2 arguement are contradicting? Prior argument and later argument? I need to really understand what you mean before I answer.
The latter negates the former. If god exists regardless of people's needs, the people's needs cannot be the reason for god's existence.
God's existence is not just for delivering ultimate justice alone. He is there to serve his creations for other need as well, like giving reward to good deeds and what not.
