The Argument for the Remedying of Injustice

“In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying; but if you are going to have justice in the universe as a whole you have to suppose a future life to redress the balance of life here on earth. So they say that there must be a God, and there must be heaven and hell in order that in the long run there may be justice. That is a very curious argument.”

~ Bertrand Russell, “Why I Am Not a Christian”

So, God created a universe riddled with injustice where the good suffer and the wicked prosper all so God can save the day after we die? God sounds like one of those wayward firefighters who sets the blaze so they can put it out and be praised as a hero(ine) ~ only if we survive and can actually know the blaze has been extinguished. A justice-remedying afterlife is improbable conjecture: Why would a God sinister enough to set up this unjust world be just in another life? Is God playing games? Would that game-playing God be a good God? If God were loving, good, and fair, wouldn’t our striving to be so too be challenging enough?
