[quote=Anonymous]<i>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? </i>

In all, the positives of existence outweight the negatives.  :)

[quote]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. [/quote]

Hey!  That was well-put.  We'll convert you to Secular Humanistic Atheism, yet!  It is pretty amazing, though.  And yes, what a great thing to be alive!

Fortunately, this rarely happens to individuals.  So I don't particularly worry about it.  When it does happen, I fight for government policies, and support private organizations, that try to mitigate this problem of injustice.

Most of the theists I know sort of shrug their shoulders and say, "Don't worry, chum!  Jesus will get ya back in the next life!" and walk blithely on their way.

Justice in the afterlife is essentially a way of dodging responsibility for working towards social justice in this life.[/quote]
