Naturalism and the Lack of Justice

In the midst of the horror that has recently occurred in Arizona, justice is demanded. However, our judicial system has significantly drifted away from its Biblical basis for justice. In man's humanistic attempts to take God out of every facet of life, man left his only foundation for dignity as well. Man created in the image of God has value, but man evolved from pond scum is valueless. Man is then no better or worse than the pond scum from which he came.



In a naturalistic worldview, there are no absolutes because there is no God from which to contain those absolutes. It then becomes the will of the mob, a powerful elite, or some dictator. This is the condition of America.



The practical naturalistic elites have created a situation in which the perpetrator has become the victim. How did this happen?



If we're just a product of a genetically predisposed biochemical mass, then we have no reason to be accountable. Actually, the very words I'm writing right now would be just a mere chain reaction of chemical sequences. Utlimately, this is just a convenient way to justify anything you want to say or do.



In this particular case, the philosophic behaviorists will tend to make a strong case about a tough childhood while the neurologists will tend to make a case involving a biochemical disorder (a general theory of which I am of convinced is inconclusive at best). Either way, the murderer is made to be the victim, while the real victims are denied justice.



Therefore, we should not be surprised if justice is denied depending on what foundation of justice is used.
