How does the universal question of fairness attest to the existence of God?
-
Yes I have. Evil will always exploit those who are weaker or who have no one to plead their case.
-
I would say, yes, yes I have been treated unfairly at some point in time and I would venture to guess that most everyone has felt the same. But in answer to the question ,why do I think that?
Everyone has their own opinions and personal beliefs. Some beliefs are biblical and others are not. So when the belief systems collide; disputes will arise and people are going to treat each other according to their “feelings” of being the only one who holds the correct belief system. Which in turn can cause that side or both sides to treat one another unjustly according to their biased opinions. Therefore leading to one feeling as if they have been treated unfairly by the opposing side. -
I certainly have, and I believe if you live in this world you have or will experience it as well. However God became flesh and appeared in human form for two main reasons that I can tell. One is to demonstrate His love for us and die that we may live eternally once more, but two, to prove that nothing in this fallen world is fair so He has begun to restore it to His Original plan. He suffered in His flesh injustice, but because He did not sin, death and the grave could not hold Him.

As an African-American born during the 1950s, I experienced the gentrification of SW Washington, DC when Blacks were moved en masse, to SE Washington, DC which was, ironically, inhabited by a mixture of low- and middle-income whites. And while it took another 50 years for SW to fully gentrify, as I write this, few Blacks can afford to live in SW. In fact, even SE Washington is slowly undergoing gentrification, and many predict it go back to being predominantly white within a few short years. The universal problem of unfairness has been with humanity since Eden, and no doubt is a consequence of one of the curses of the fall that God subjected humankind to because of our foreparents disobedience. Having to stratch for survival tends to lend to competition at all levels: social, economic, political, cultural, etc. Having rejected the rule of its Creator, humanity’s adopted modus operandi is more often than not the “Universal I” (my race, my culture, my country, my tribe, etc.) that must survive no matter what the cost to the other groups.

we all get that unfairness in life, i like to look at as a measure and say to people how do you know the difference between two extremes like /cold unless you witnessed and felt the opposite? its the same with unfairness, whilst its unfair it also gives us a measure of what can take us from and to..
