"Such readers are probably right to accept all this justice-talk 'blindly' (because I think it really is blind): their religion begins (? and ends) with the Bible, which by the way is not biblical. But they should understand that they're using language in a way that the rest of us have no access to. Justice no longer means what we recognize as just, it just means what the most powerful person on the block (their god) is capable of doing. Might makes right, whatever he does is okay.
