If you are a liberal,...Liberal-justice is simple:<br /> <br />If you are a liberal, your intentions matter most, and you most likely meant to do good. Thus, you are most likely innocent of any wrong doing.<br /><br />If you don't agree with liberals, your motives must be evil and the fact that you didn't do what you are accused of doesn't mean you didn't think it one time, and therefore you are guilty anyways.<br />:)rockstarkphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347771663239133052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-21907519867396134632009-12-07T08:30:30.610-08:002009-12-07T08:30:30.610-08:00What justification means?

First it is relative to each person, what that wiccan says about it is just as important as the Buddhist, which is just as important as that Christian.

Al preached with such power that he completely confused the Norwegian people in Oslo, as he tried to show them that Gaia is Messiah. When your god brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you, the Industries, the Coal Miners, the Oil Barons, the Conservatives, the Economic Engines, the V8 Engines, and the Creationists, seven nations more numerous and mightier than yourselves, then do not be deceived: Gaia is not mocked, for whatever fertilizer one sows, that algae bloom will he also reap. This precious value, then, is for you who hold this opinion; but for those who are uncharitable, the stone which the peers were not given the opportunity to reject, this became the very corner stone and, a stone of stumbling and a rock of unenlightenment; for they stumble because they are disobedient to our word, and to this doom they may also be appointed, if that's ok with them. But you are a tolerant race, a royal praisehood, a happy nation, a people for Gaia's own possession, so that you may proclaim the vicissitudes of him who has called you back from the light into his marvelous dark.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625691560372353977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-91059800112428817592009-12-05T11:19:03.377-08:002009-12-05T11:19:03.377-08:00If I win, then Phil can bring the book with him - ...If I win, then Phil can bring the book with him - it'll be cheaper posting it from th UK than it will from the US. <br /><br />Is there a cash prize instead?Colin Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632698769785766168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-31321068052372446012009-12-05T10:34:02.570-08:002009-12-05T10:34:02.570-08:001.

The eclipse of justice is prevalent in the multiplicity of Cartesian trends which span the spectrum end to end. This quasi techno-interpretation of justice has aimed its charges directly at the Church and has demanded she be interrogated for the reason of her hope in the old paths. Christianity finds itself on a collision course with the dominance of an ever changing virtual emerging reality which abhors any absolute. This nucleus of opacity (postmodern freedom) dispenses its own brand of justice within a utilitarian network of transparent significations – suspicion, uncertainty, and conflict. While suffering opposition is nothing new to the Christian, Christology has never before in the history of mankind been subjected to the kind of ruthless analysis any hollow chested street corner skeptic proffers. It would behoove us to remember these words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:<br /><br />“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Rick Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525495561013100331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-23737514153837589172009-12-04T19:30:07.154-08:002009-12-04T19:30:07.154-08:00The liberal concept of "justice" seem to...The liberal concept of "justice" seem to hinge more on notions of white guilt than on any objective standard of right and wrong. Consequently, it's easier for postmoderns to support wealth redistribution, et al, as the goal of justice while ignoring or denying evils like abortion. Liberal justice is little more than egalitarianism on steroids. (Incidentally, I think this also explains why postmoderns deny the atrocities of a regime like N. Korea and believe the fairy-tale propaganda put out by that socialist "workers' paradise.")wordsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694767852556204886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-20868344202168043822009-12-04T17:18:25.736-08:002009-12-04T17:18:25.736-08:00The liberal view of justice is all about what one ...The liberal view of justice is <i>all</i> about what one is entitled to, and <i>nothing</i> about what one deserves.Nash Equilibriumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528684112014026512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-23048206621889120592009-12-04T16:56:54.268-08:002009-12-04T16:56:54.268-08:00My attempt:

That is to say that poverty and justice are relative to each culture's conception; and the one that has the most rhetorical <em>power</em> becomes the "truest" construct of poverty and justice --- because it "works" (but then again it only works for that culture, like "A", and there's always cultures "B" "C" etc. who are trying to reconstruct these concepts in ways that are more "powerful" than the current "A's" construct of poverty and justice.Bobby Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831009618873548948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-35230179582201225412009-12-04T15:17:36.833-08:002009-12-04T15:17:36.833-08:00The problem with liberals, whether it's theolo...The problem with liberals, whether it's theological or political, is that most of them make a foundational error -- assuming that man is basically good. <br /><br />A whole lot of bad fruit comes out of a mistake like that.Solameaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869424956571944997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-79885454301920839052009-12-04T13:44:59.042-08:002009-12-04T13:44:59.042-08:00Justice - When I get what I want at your expense; ...Justice - When I get what I want at your expense; and you get nothing and like it.<br /><br />If I win this liberal screed, please send it in a plain brown wrapper!

I apologize for the length and for cheating by eliminating paragraph breaks:<br /><br />Social Justice, as it is used in the political realm, basically has to do with redistribution of wealth. It is a Robin Hood mentality that would see the rich taxed until they are no longer rich, and the poor subsidized until they are no longer poor. That may not sound so bad to you until you come to the realization that if you are anywhere in the middle class, Robin thinks you are rich. Keep in mind though, that despite all the good PR, Robin is still a Hood. Progressive Christianity is, for the most part, just the application of this political ideology to the apostate church. The term "progressive" is getting to be a little too well linked to politics lately, so it is falling out of favor with the Progressive Church. The sweepstakes winner for a new name for the same old song appears to be "Red Letter Christian." So with all that said, I would like to submit a more accurate definition for the term "Social Justice." Social: of or relating to human society. Justice: the assignment of merited rewards or punishments. Put them together and you have a society getting what it deserves. A good example of Social Justice would be for modern day America to suffer the same fate as Sodom and Gomorrah. Think the cesspool that is Hollywood. Think the debauchery in San Francisco. Think the corruption that is politics today. Think Mardi Gras. Think the millions murdered by abortion. Yeah, Social Justice would be a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah treatment. So don't pray for Social Justice.... pray for Repentance and Mercy!St. Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238671101561121436noreply@blogger.com
