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

[Cyrano]

Martin Luther King Jr. said that. Republicans sneer at the hope/morality/wisdom of that concept. Most of us believe it.

I guess it comes down to the basic battle of "good" vs "evil."

As a devout agnostic, I must admit that I have "faith" that "good" will prevail as we evolve. But then, perhaps I'm a fool.

1. as an agnostic, 'devout' or not,

I have little or no faith in anything/anyone.

I believe it when I see it.

[Faux pas]

2. ...

Devout atheist optimist here. I root for good every day and send it out to the Universe...

[Unwind Your Mind]

11. Yes, I like that

[Faux pas]

12. Thank you!

[Model35mech]

3. Yes. but its an arc because of the detour thru the swap of injustice

otherwise it would be a straight assed trail.

4. If only that were true.

5. Good vs Evil is the core of the human condition.

Whether there is a God or not, it will always be with us.

I don't have any faith that good will prevail, but I do have faith
that some humans will always fight the good fight.

[Cyrano]

8. "... some humans will always fight the good fight."

Perhaps that's the best we can hope for, Irish_Dem.

It seems to be both a sad commentary on humanity, and a lifeline that says many will always resist. Always.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Yes as long as humans exist, they will fight to be free.

They will fight for justice, and for what is right.

It is hard wired into the human brain.

If that ever ends, we will no longer be human.
But evolved into another species altogether.

6. I don't think so. At one time I might have agreed but no more.

[Bucky]

7. Agree, but only because (and ONLY IF) we all get in there and pull in the right direction

Don't lull yourself into believing there's an eventuality to justice arriving.

It's only bent toward justice because people of goodwill got out and fought to bend it.
