This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

The importance of real justice
We hear a lot of talk about justice, these days, which is good. Justice is very important, we know from the book of Deuteronomy chapter 32, vs. 4, that justice is a characteristic of God. This helps us understand that justice is good and right!
Real justice requires a respect for and a recognition of fairness, equality, individual rights, objective truth, investigation, evidence, valid testimony, reason, logic, due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
If people are understood to be “right or wrong,” “innocent or guilty,” “just or unjust,” simply based on something over which they have no control and is physically inherited—such as race—real justice is not served.
