You don believe in the traditional idea that God rewards the faithful and punishes those who stray form the path of righteousness?
I don’t think God actively participates in the affairs of men like that; and I have always rejected the idea that History has a Chosen People and is the product of a Divine Will with ultimately the Good rewarded and the Evil punished. If there be any such divine justice, I believe it will have to take place on the other side of the grave — it is routine to see the wicked succeed and the good defeated on earth. I think anyone with more than a smattering of life experience can confirm that. As for the possibility of justice on earth today and tomorrow, it is up to us.
