Okay, I’ll speak out against injustice.

It is unjust for the government, any government, to take money form those who are diligent, educated and productive and to give that money to those who are stupid, lazy and ignorant.

[Terriergal]

you’d think!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

You bring up the right question. Who gets to define injustice? For that matter, who gets to define poverty? And is the answer dependence or personal responsibility? How much of a role does our sin nature play in creating these problems in the first place. What does the same Bible teach us about that?

Those longing for justice can realize that one day the will see the ultimate justice: Judgment Day. I'm guessing they aren't looking for that much justice.

Seems to me that God sent famine and drought sometimes himself! Also brought pagan governments in to chastise his people. (though he also judged those pagans for their sin as well!)
