About this episode
We live in an age that is obsessed with the word justice. It is on the lips of politicians, activists, and talking heads. But the word has been cut loose from its moorings. Modern justice is a ship without a rudder, tossed about by the shifting winds of sentimentality, victim-politics, and raw power. The result is not a just society, but a society that is coming apart at the seams, a society at war with itself. Men have rejected the only possible foundation for true justice, which is the character and law of the transcendent God. When you remove God from the courtroom, you do not get neutrality; you get a different god. And the god of secularism is a fickle and savage god. Its justice is not blind, but is instead keenly aware of who is powerful, who is popular, and who is part of the designated victim class of the moment.
