Prayer: The need for divine judgment
The truth remains that only God can ultimately create justice, and therefore there must be a divine judgment. Otherwise, the world and its history would be a senseless perversity. A world in which murderers triumph over their innocent victims, in which the powerful and those who despise others are always celebrated in history and their betrayed always remain, so would be the ultimate absurdity. A world that is not judged would be a world without hope, without purpose; it would be worthless. Every religion that has considered the fate of the human after death has proposed that there will be a judgment.
