If you believe in Justice, you believe in an afterlife

It's really very simple:

Justice is one of the most profound and valuable concepts ever conceived by the human mind but I knew a wonderful man who liked to say that justice was only found in the dictionary.

If you've lived long enough, you'll relate to that sense of frustration as you see time and time again that terrible people die calmly in their sleep (Stalin) or never get punished in this lifetime (al-Zarqawi).

So, here's the dilemna for those intellectual giants who don't believe in God (and usually look down on the rest of us who do):

Justice is either arbitrary (and therefore not justice at all) or there is an afterlife where justice completes itself.

You choose.

It's easy for me.
