Should module text be justified?

I thought I'd ask for your feedback here. Do you prefer left justified text or fully justified text? All official e-Sword resources are left justified. All other "e-Sword clone software", that I'm aware of, make their modules left justified.
I personally prefer left justified because as the window is adjusted smaller, justified text can look increasingly "odd" as the lines are filled with spaces. e-Sword can't switch back and forth between justification--text is displayed according to how the module is made.
Ultimately, it's easy to switch between full justification and left justification by searching/replacing a module's RTF tags with Raymond's tool. But how do you think modules should be made?

In a word processor, I (almost) always block justify. However, when I build modules, they are always left justified. The reason: most eSworders use only part of their screen for viewing any one window. The result is a "thin window" - and block justiification becomes skewed the thinner the window is.
If you're looking for votes, mine is "left justified" for all module types.
EDIT: By the way, LOVE centered headlines and section heads....

Do you prefer left justified text or fully justified text?
For resources that use the Cyrillic, Greek and Latin Writing systems, left justify the text.
For resources that use the Arabic, Hebrew, and Cuniform writing systems, right justify the text.
CJKV, assuming they are written Left to Right, should be left justified. If they are written Right to Left, then they should be Right justified.
it's easy to switch between full justification and left justification
The primary issue with full justification, is that something that looks good on a window 800 x 600 pixels, is a complete mess on a window that is 200 x 100 pixels. It also is a complete mess on a window that is 3840 x 2160 pixels.
My vote is for everything to be left justified, but done so only by not forcing line breaks in places where there is not a naturally occurring line/paragraph break.
