Futile beat me to it. If you're saying that there is no divine punishment for being an asshole here on earth, then yes, reality is unjust. Like the saying goes, life isn't fair.

I agree with futile. I don't agree with you though. Reality is unjust without the posthumous judge that I believe in.


@ Ryan
Sorry mate what you're saying doesn't address my faith so I cannot answer it. As always, you need to prove your wild claims not just put them out there to stink the place out.
