Re: Is god just? How do we know if he is?

I know this question was not directed at me, but I must answer this. Why should absolute justice be defined by God? Every word in our world was defined by us. Everything in this world was defined by us. We were the ones that named the species, we were the ones that defined the species, we were the ones that named and defined countries, lands, mountains.
Everything in this world, from physical objects, to notions such as justice, we named and defined ourselves. It maybe possible that God defined justice himself, but it does not change the fact that we ourselves defined it and that its definition has changed over time.

This sentence makes no sense. Say, if I know what weakness is, does that mean God is absolutely weak?
Quote:And if you raise those questions about Christianity then how about this?
Why does Islam say one thing but muslims do another. Shouldn't we say that Islam, the religion that guides muslims is the biggest delusion because it fails to guide them?
That question applies to all religions, surely?
