In fact, the evidence we DO have suggests that the only justice that exists is that which we are able to secure right here in this life.

This is an aspect of many religious belief systems that has so often perpetuated the status quo - the notion that someday, the aggressors will "get theirs" and the oppressed will be rewarded. I don't like that message of religion, not one bit.
