"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

[undeterred]

Martin Luther King quoting theologian Theodore Parker

Is there a moral universe, and does justice ultimately triumph?

[SpiralHawk]

1. Yes and yes

Helpfully, SH

[lonestarnot]

2. and yes again!

[DavidDvorkin]

3. Wishful thinking

5. sadly, I think you're spot on

justice is a purely human concept, and one that's ignored, abused and denied at nearly every turn in our existence.

[Toots]

6. I agree

When the killers of JFK, RFK, MLK are brought to justice I may change my mind...

[PassingFair]

4. Yes.

Because people are basically good.

We outnumber the bad guys. We're just complacent.

[undeterred]

7. I think we do live in a moral universe

but there is nothing automatic about the triumph of justice. Its up to us.

8. No.

There is no guiding force that shapes reality, only tendencies and accidents, sometimes happy, somtimes not.

There is no reason at all to suppose that the bush regime will not be completely victorious forever.

None.
