“Social Justice” has become an
undefined measuring rod whereby virtue signaling can be justified.
Here is a clear warning,
prophetic in nature, from C. S. Lewis written in the pages of his work entitled
“Screwtape Letters “
…..
Screwtape to Wormwood:
“We do want, and want very much, to make men treat Christianity as a means; preferably, of course, as a means to their own advancement, but, failing that, as a means to anything––even to social justice. The thing to do is to get a man at first to value social justice as a thing which the Enemy [God] demands, and then work him on to the stage at which he values Christianity because it may produce social justice. For the Enemy (God) will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of Heaven as a short cut to the nearest chemist’s shop. Fortunately, it is quite easy to coax humans round this little corner.”
The deceiver keeps deceiving
humanity into thinking it can affect its own restoration and salvation through
finite human effort and finite human ingenuity.
