Atheists if God is not real then who is going to establish divine Justice ?

Who's going to avenge for the children that died of starvation and bombs ?

Who's going avenge for the thousands that are murdered every year by unknown murderers ?

Who's going to balance the equation fools ?

    Other than religious beliefs and the sense of hope that "divine justice" gives, there really isn't any reason to think that there is any other justice than what we make and realistically that "justice"  is nothing more than a socially acceptable method of revenge.

    Somehow throughout the millennium of our existence we've gotten in the habit of thinking that punishment is the way to deal with those that do wrong and then we get into "moral" quandaries when faced with people doing wrong for good reasons.  Our entire justice system is set up entirely on punishment and deterrence with only a slight idea of reform and that is infinitely better than any idea of "divine justice" that any religion has.

    There is no "divine justice". If we, as humans, don't take care of it, these crimes will go unpunished. Are you saying we should sit by and let these types of crimes continue because "god will sort it out"?

    Your question assumes there is divine justice.  Personally, I think divine justice is how religions try to explain away the Problem of Evil, i.e. "God let you have a terrible life (never mind that he could have given you a good life), but he will make up for it when you die... if you believe in him and give the church money."  I think I would prefer a God who gives justice in this world.

    God establishes Devine Justice after we die.  When we die, and are Grasped in God's Noodly Appendages, our life is evaluated and if we have sincerely believed in the One True God we are gently deposited on the Slopes of the Beer Volcano in Heaven.  But if, like the Atheists, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Catholics, Taoists, and Christians we believe in the Wrong God (or perhaps No God at All!!!!) then we are cast into the Giant Vat of Simmering Tomato Sauce, there to be Covered in Molten Cheese for all Eternity.  RAmen!

    Your question is the prime example of religion being nothing more than an assumed conclusion.  Religion as a whole is an assumed conclusion based on suspect claims from dubious sources supported by logical fallacies nested within circular reasoning bringing you back to the assumed conclusion.  It is dishonest to assert as fact that which is not evidently true.  Yet this is what religion does.  It tries very hard to assert as fact things that we already know are not true or even possible.  By definition magic, the supernatural and deities cannot exist.  It is all ancient fear based mumbo jumbo and superstitious nonsense and woo woo.  It has nothing to support it and it never did.  And, I suspect, it never will.  If you can't show it, then you most certainly don't know it.  Fact.

    Maybe no one. The natural world cares not about human suffering.

    The answer to your question is people and not delusional religious nut jobs who can’t prove their point in their stupid “god” claims. Religious nut jobs don’t know true justice because they are full of anger and hatred towards atheists because us atheists are different. Religious nut jobs either resort to violence or go against anyone who is different to them such as atheists.

    There's no divine justice.  Humans have to handle justice by themselves.  Your desire for divine justice won't magically make a god appear. 

    Why does your god let all that happen, anyway?
