Isn\u2019t Hell enough?<\/p>\n<p>It seems to me that from the Christian perspective, human justice is somewhat meaningless. How can evil sinful humans compete with God\u2019s perfect justice system of eternal torture for every offense and no parole? Murder a million people, Hell! Work on Saturday, Hell! Both crimes are equal in the eyes of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>Since Christians can be more than confident that God\u2019s justice system will catch all wrongdoers, wouldn\u2019t it be merciful to let these criminals out of prison. Shouldn\u2019t we trust God with their fate?<\/p>\n<p>If God wants to punish them in live as well as death, I am sure he would find a way to do it. I don\u2019t think Christians ought to put their trust and faith in human justice.<\/p>\n<p>As an atheist, I have no confidence in God\u2019s justice and no faith in the judge. So I strongly support the imperfect justice systems of humans.<br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><br \/>\n<a onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pub=dangeroustalk\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" \/><\/a><script src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/250\/addthis_widget.js?pub=dangeroustalk\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- AddThis Button END --><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=1002\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t understand why Christians believe in Earthly justice.
