Justice comes for everyone eventually 😘
Does it though? I can point to thousands of people that justice never came for.
I personally believe that when Christ returns, he'll establish a fair equitable and just society here on earth, then resurrect everyone, inviting them to participate.
In that society justice will be served, but that's not really hope for people suffering now.
Yeah we have to build the torment nexus.
Bro, hell isnt in the bible, death is just death, a ton of verses describe it as 'sleep'.
Death very obviously isn't justice. It's just sleep.
... the torment nexus isn't justice either but it's fun to think about.
It certainly does.
You might have misread that 🤭
You might have misread what I was saying. 🥴🤒😵💫😮💨
Is it your fault one of your relatives is a jackass?
I'd be ashamed to even tell anyone I was related to a l*ndlord
Good for you. Your shame would be misplaced. What my uncle does has nothing to do with me.
You literally just declared "my uncle is a landlord" with no additional information. What did you expect?
You’re right. I should have expected mouth breathing communist crusaders to think I was bragging… on Lemmy of all places.
lemmy.world has a certain reputation
Glad we cleared that up though 👍
Just stop. You’ve already embarrassed yourself by adding information to a comment to suite your worldview because you can’t think outside of whatever hole you were indoctrinated in. It’s all enemies and allies to folks like you.
You know, the ones too brain dead to lead, but foaming at the mouth just enough to run around looking for folks to purge for the big boys.
That’s the exact same thing right wingers on Facebook do. The only difference for you is you didn’t click on some right wing link when you were 14. Otherwise you’d just be a Nazi and I would’ve never met you.
See how much information I can make up when I stop thinking and just talk out of my ass?
Reread this conversation. I never actually attacked you. I just implied that your uncle is going to get whats coming to him, and sure, I misunderstood you but that's all. I don't think the crime of "related to a landlord" means you deserve to be sent to a gulag lol
Now you're crawling up my ass because we had a miscommunication. I still say anyone who is related to a landlord should denounce them clearly, but now that the miscommunication is cleared up we have no problems. You don't have to be so mad. 🙃
