Yes there is already a thread about Justice on the Christianity section, but that has just become a pissing contest and I would rather take the issue of religion out of the equation anyway.
Since many atheists do not believe in an afterlife or a justice outside the realm of the physical, do you desire to have justice carried out in this lifetime or are you content to not pursue justice in all cases?
I am asking this because I see one of the root causes of the Invasion of Iraq was a desire to bring about justice (as well as getting oil) against Saddam Hussein (later it was found he was much worse than we had earlier thought...the gassing of the Kurds after the Persian Gulf War), but that ultimately lead to the death of more than one hundred thousand Iraqis. I personally do not think carrying out justice at such high a price is ever worth it....sometimes it is best to just move on IMO.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
