If by 'upset that need' you mean stop trying to get even, then you're most definitely wrong about the part where chaos comes in. Quite the opposite of chaos, actually. I take it your god thinks 'an eye for an eye' is justice and applicable to every scenario?

I think before we go any further you're going to have to define justice as you see it if you're going to keep trying to use it as a justification for an afterlife.

That's a possibility. Perhaps he's just wilfully ignorant, who knows.
I'm guessing just another troll.

Read Exodus 20 and 21 for an idea of god's 'justice'. Most of it is ridiculous.
Here's something to think about:
Exodus 21:23-24
Matthew 5:38-42
Well, it seems we have a problem here. Jesus just overturned god's previous command. And we wonder why god had him killed off...
Who's rebellious now?

And tortured him first.

I find the strawmen arguments of the religious to be ever amusing. Like simplifying evidence into sight. My guess is that the poster is either very young and repeating something his pastor told him, or a troll.

Mister Agenda.
Human always get what they desire or need for justice weather in a form of fortune or misfortune They just don't realize it. It Isjustit is not happening at the time that they want It to happen. It comes mistiriously out of no where sometimes . I Don make believe It will happen in after life but logic sense kicks in to say It has to happen. Otherwise unpunished childkiller just rot like that in the grave just like a good human.
Try to do injustice to your physical thing. Like a car. Sooner or later It will. Break down that is justice. In summary It is cause and effect phenomena. It has to happen someday in lifetime or afterdeath
the time when your get lucky is a time when the creater or God rewards you for the good deeds.

 I really can't understand you. Are you trying to say that good/bad luck is the product of our morality.
