God’s justice isn’t the same as ours, explains George Pitcher

An instinct for justice seems to have been at the heart of our public life recently.

Indeed it seems always to have been so, as if it’s hard-wired into our social psyche.

Lately, there’s been widespread approval that a US civil court found that former president Donald Trump had sexually assaulted a woman in a New York department store. Only a significant hardcore of self-delusive, right-wing Republicans will believe an injustice has been done.
