I didn't understand grace and forgiveness until I understood strict Justice.

Yes because we call courts "Courts of Law" not "Courts of Justice". There are many cases of innocents being caught and the guilty going free.
Source I watch TOO much TV.

I believe that by your quote for "justice" you imply that christians have traded the definition for justice with the definition of revenge?
If that is the case then I would have to say so. After all actions speak louder than words.

No. I think many have a twisted sense of justice. If you harm anyone, Karma will have her own justice, I assure you.
Now feed my ego with all those thumbs down!

No. Most of the ones I know usually turn the other cheek and rarely are they in litigation.
Hmmm.... must be one of those generalizations about Christians that people like to spread around like a sappy email.

Peace requires justice & charity to harmonize freely.

Yes far too much, mercy is better than justice and compassion is better than both.

Perhaps you love generalizing people just a little TOO much?

No. We prefer chaos and rebellion in the streets.
I suppose if you were the victim of a violent crime, YOU would want the same thing, eh?

Well to quote the late Bill Hicks, "If it wasn't for capital punishment, there'd be no Easter".
