I'll take another stab at this. Maybe you'll post something in reply other than your argumentative and obfuscating sophistry.
This is what you are ostensibly replying to:

"There is injustice in the universe. About this, I think there is no dispute. But why do some people believe that the indisputable fact there is injustice in the universe means there MUST indisputably be some sort of supernatural justice?"

There is no "sophistry" there and I am not being "argumentative and obfuscating".

I don't think that you can say it is logical to assert that those who escape justice face supernatural justice after they die. There is no evidence that they do and your certainty that they do is an article of faith.

If it's not logical, then what is the reason for the assertion?

Emotional? Or aspirational in some way? Is it simply ideological?

you have a lot to learn about just what supernatural justice means.
I don't think I do. I know what "supernatural justice" means. That is why I am asking people like you about your belief in it. Just telling me I supposedly "have a lot to learn about" it or that my enquiry is "irrational" is not a genuine conversation, josephw. It's merely a kind of banter. You can do better than this.

If there was no justice, then you wouldn't know there is injustice.
As evolved human beings we have developed a collective sense of fairness, fuelled by increased intelligence and born of empathy and shared experiences. This is the reason most people would view a murderer getting away with their crime as an 'injustice.' It does not necessitate some innate justice in the universe or validate the existence of a God.
