[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We have veered way off topic, but after 30 some pages, that is to be expected.

But the question of perfect justice is related to whether God exists, to be sure.  I would very much like to hear nonbelievers take on this.

Recent PPs have said perfect justice is wishful thinking, and no argument for God.  Let us say that is so, for the moment.  There is no God.  There is no perfect justice.  What you see is what you get.  Before conception, there was no you.  After the last flicker of the brain, there is no you.  Nothingness before, and nothingness after.

How, then, do nonbelievers deal with the unceasing injustices of human life on earth?

The trillions and trillions of chance encounters of humans, and their eggs and sperm, that led to the existence of one single human being at one moment in time (putting aside the trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of chance encounters of matter and energy that had to happen for the physical universe before any organic life was possible), and this one human being gets this one chance at life, this one opportunity at existence, so for that one person, who is completely unique in time and space and matter, this is it.

And then another human being takes their life.  Or their happiness.  Or their freedom.  And enjoys it.  And gets pleasure from it.  And is not stopped.  In fact, he spends his entire life on earth enjoying himself immensely at the expense of other human beings.  Obviously, this happens all the time, always has, always will.

Nonbelievers say, yes.  It is what it is.  That is all there is.

How can nonbelievers live without justice?[/quote]
