What is 'Social Justice'?

Justice is a legal concept. Defining it in a legal sense is a simple matter, we need only look at what is written within the body of the law itself and ask “Do the rights, privileges and duties outlined here apply equally to every individual?” The legal definition of justice is straightforward. The idea of “Social Justice” however takes this concept out of its original legal context and attempts to apply it in an area for which it was not designed: society in general. While legal justice is easily defined as the equal application of the law (whatever that law may be) Social Justice is a sort of phantom for which no clear objective definition truly exists. The most dangerous type of idea is a vaguely defined one; for it is never known what may ultimately lie behind it, and in addition to this, it may be adapted and exploited for all sorts of purposes. There is safety in specificity. But while we may not know precisely what Social Justice is, we understand what it seeks to accomplish in principle. Its premise is the notion that there is some species of “injustice” within the private actions of individuals in the civil society that must be rectified by state  laws and policies.

To put it another way, it is about the state regulating morality within the civil society. But the use of the word “morality” (in the phrase “regulating morality”) is extremely unappealing from an aesthetic standpoint. Therefore the word “justice” is borrowed from its legal context and applied metaphorically here to the civil society. The government getting involved in a matter of “justice” sounds far more appropriate than the government getting involved in a matter “morality”. Unfortunately, it is this case a distinction without a difference.

“The world is indeed comic,
but the joke is on mankind.”
–    H.P. Lovecraft

Don't say another Goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you. This fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.

"If I wanted to kill myself I could climb to his ego and jump to his IQ"

"God is a mechanic, and the universe is his machine. We are all but parts in this machine -- not cogs, no, not something as vital as that. If we are lucky, we are paint flecks on a screw holding in the bracket that helps support one end of a cog. And God, like all mechanics, worries only about maintaining his machine. He does not care for the well-being of flecks of paint, nor screws, nor even cogs. When a small, trivial part breaks, he does not mend, tailor, carefully groom and re-forge it. He simply replaces it. He replaces it so the machine might continue to run, with new parts, with new paint and he discards the old and the broken with nary a thought. The machine runs on. Tended by a God who does not care. Not out of cruelty, or spite, but simply because it is not his job. That is God. And these are his angels."

Questions about hell

1. Why is faith not only important, but perhaps the deciding factor about who winds up in heaven or hell?

Whenever I’m asked what I’d do if I meet Jesus when I die, I say I would then have enough evidence to become a believer. Apparently, though, that would be too late. If a creator god exists, why would she create so many evidence-based humans if she wants us to make faith-based decisions?

2. Why do the last 30 seconds of life matter so much?

If an Adolph Hitler repented on his deathbed for his role in the Holocaust and accepted Jesus, some say he would go to heaven. I think it would be more reasonable (though what’s reason got to do with it?) for a person to be judged on his or her lifetime actions rather than on an end-of-life belief.

3. If we have free will on earth, will we have free will in heaven?

If so, might we sin and go from heaven to hell? If not, will we be heavenly robots? If God can make us sinless in heaven, why didn’t he create us sinless on earth? So many ifs, so few answers.

4. What moral purpose does eternal torture serve?

We want to rehabilitate evildoers with the hope that they will learn from past mistakes. Even in capital punishment cases we try to execute as painlessly as possible. Why would a purportedly all good and compassionate God burn people for eternity?

5. What happens to people who died before Jesus was born — or didn’t hear of Jesus?

If they can still go to heaven, how does Jesus matter? If they are all condemned to hell, how is God merciful?

6. If we want people to go to heaven, shouldn’t we be committing infanticide?

Wouldn’t it be a blessing to baptize newborn babies and then kill them? Or perhaps encourage abortions, since presumably all fetuses go to heaven?

7. How much more deserving is the worst person in heaven than the best person in hell?

Our earthly binary divisions are usually quite arbitrary. People may vote when they are 18 and buy alcohol when they are 21, but they are not permitted to do so the day before. We recognize such rules for what they are — distinctions without a real difference. Not so when it comes to the cutoff between an eternity of bliss and an eternity of torture.

8. How could heaven be a happy place?

Can you be blissfully happy in heaven knowing that some of your loved ones are being tortured in hell? And what do you do for an eternity in heaven without getting bored?

9. Why did God torture his son?

Couldn’t He come up with a less bloodthirsty way to allow us into heaven than by torturing and killing his innocent son to make up for an alleged Original Sin of an alleged first couple? We praise God for an action that we would incarcerate any human for perpetrating. God seems inhumane, but I suppose that’s because God isn’t human.

10. Wouldn’t a loving God who wants us all to go to heaven make it unambiguously clear how to get there?

Christians, let alone those of other faiths and none, disagree about what to believe or do. Faith? Good works? Some believe we were predestined for heaven or hell before birth, and there’s absolutely nothing we can do to change it. Others say we are all given the gift of faith to accept Jesus as savior and thus go to heaven, but that some people refuse the gift. I didn’t refuse a gift I was never given. A gift is different from a belief in a gift.

This bibliography examines 286 scholarly investigations: 221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 371,600.

Women are offered the opportunity of battered women's shelters and help lines, while men in nearly all situations do not (there are only 2 battered men's shelters in the U.S., and only 1 help hotline out of dozens that don't ignore or imply that he deserved abuse). Men are also almost always labeled as the the aggressor during DV disputes, even if they called the police for help because they were being attacked.

Contrary to propaganda spewed by people on Tumblr and reddit, men CAN be abused and deserve just as much care and understanding as women. No one should be abused, regardless of their gender.

Tumblr is a cult.
They drag in young, insecure people that don’t know what to make of themselves, and they validate all their retarded ideas and tell them that they should distance themselves from everyone that isn’t part of the cult.

e.g. “You’re 13 and not all that interested in girls? You must be ASEXUAL just like us!”

But like in all cults, once you’re inside you better watch your fucking step. Conduct is strictly policed, and any attempts to question the group-think are swiftly and severely punished.

Hugboxing is the mechanism that Tumblr communities use to draw their victims into the cult, but it only extends so far, and if you transgress then they’ll cut you off hard.”
