Do you believe in good and/or bad karma?
I for some reason believe that karma does exist. Probably because I feel paranoid about things majority of the time. In my opinion, believing in karma is a good and bad thing; it can prevent you from doing bad things, but it shows you're quite selfish - the actions you carry out are for your own good (most of the time).
What is karma?
Don't know what karma is? Go educate yourself upon the topic: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . In terms of my own - karma is the spirit/non-physical (whatever you want to name it) that balances good and bad within a person.
Question
Do you believe in karma? Whatever you answer may be, give your reasons/elaborate.
Cheers,
Vidar

No. because it doesn't make sense. About as believable as a all seeing being who lives in the sky.

Do you know your simile makes no sense at all? Please elaborate why.

There is no hard evidence that either exist, only faith based claims of either having an effect on the world.
I don't believe in it simply because it claims that there is a balance to the world.
The world is obviously anything but balanced.

Karma isn't instant and will always be left behind as we sin too much for it to catch up. But I believe it's there, even if it's not obvious enough.

If it isn't instant and it always falls behind sin then it might as well not exist.
I don't mind the Hindu and Buddhist versions of Karma, that what you do in this life will affect your next life, but the version which states that if you do bad things then bad things will happen to you simply doesn't make sense in this world.
Take Hitler for an example.
Responsible for the deaths of, arguably, 60 Million people.
He lived in comfort and peace while this was happening, only to end up having a quick death at his own hands.
Is that Karma?
Stalin, purged millions of people, allowed millions more to starve to death, he lived well into his 70's with most of the Soviet Union hailing him as a God.
Karma?

By instant I mean: karma isn't going to react as soon as you sin, but when it's least expected at another time and place.
Often people refer to Hitler. Did Hitler succeed? I do not believe Hitler got what he deserved (he deserved a nasty and painful death) but in the end, evil did not win over the good meaning the situation ended more balanced than it began.
