Whut.? In what sense a god can be called just, then.. If its creatures have no clue of what they're doing on earth .?
In the most basic, human sense. An apt analogy is the old saw ‘ignorance of the law is not a defense’, but a man who robs a bank can truthfully claim that he didn’t know act was illegal, but be still subject to the just punishment of the law.
A god who provides guidance to its creatures isn’t just, but merciful. And ‘justice’ and ‘mercy’ are mutually exclusive qualities. If you were to argue that it is a merciful god who provides guidance, you’d have a much stronger case.
