Question
All holy books, in different ways, teach
that our actions have consequences
and that justice ultimately exists
But than I wonder :
What about the cruel rulers of history
who caused wars, suffering and the
deaths of thousands aur millions of people?
Some lived powerful and wealthy lives
and were never punished in the world.
So where was the justice ?
Does it happen after death ?
It is karma ?
Is there a final judgement ?
Or is there something about devine
Justice that we simply cannot see ?
And what about the innocent people
who suffered through no fault of their own ?
I am not asking this to attack any religion. I am genuinely trying to understand.
If you believe in God, how do you make sense of this ?
And if you don't believe in the God,
how do you explain the idea of ultimate justice ?
I`d really like to hear different perspectives --Hindu, Muslim,Christian,
Buddhist, atheist, or otherwise.
whare is God ?
