Law #4

          In this article, equality is making sure that everyone is treated the same and that no one and nothing is put higher above all the others. Justice is when this equality is accomplished. The feminists and minorities feel that they are not treated equally with the rest of the United States, so to them justice is when they are given equal rights to all of those who have oppressed them, and when they are no longer oppressed. Along with feminism and racism, the article also talks about the equality of all society. It says that “[if] the categories that currently divide and separate people—including sexual, racial, political, and class categories—are broken down, people would be able to share more values and to create a more harmonious society”. That would be the justice, having everyone equal so that the society could grow as one.

          However, this article does not take into account that not everyone is always willing to get along. The Muslims would not be willing to give up their religion in order to make some Cosmic Humanists happy, nor would Christians abandon their faith just so Marxists would get along with them. While it does seem like a good idea for everyone in the world to get rid of their prejudices and live together in peace and harmony, this will never happen. Man is too corrupt and too selfish.

          Christian’s should view justice as obeying the laws which God has given them. Deuteronomy 10:12-19, Jeremiah 22:3, Micah 6:8 and James 1:27 all speak of doing what is “just and right” according to God. God is the ultimate authority and has given us the Divine Law to follow. So, justice to the Christians is following God’s law.
