Christianity

....for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

What goes around comes around.

For every action there is a reaction.

"science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Einstein 

Sometimes religion, concepts, and scientic theories do crossover.

In a way, I agree Boris. You can't prove Karma, or God existence, for that matter. 

You can however drop a bowling ball from the roof, and something  tangible is bound to happen. 

Even science is ever changing though.

I don't disagree that there are similarities with some things.  

What I disagreed with early on is that if I don't disagree with Newton's Third Law of Motion, then I must believe in Karma.

[tcmsecretuseid]

i understand, and even agree with that Steppe. 

Karma is based on the principles of cause and affect. Good= good and Bad=Bad

Newton's law could have any number of outcomes to the same action, good or bad. 

Even though I can't prove it, I believe in Karma. I don't rely on Karma... 😉

[ruloinfovoter]

Yes.

And yes, there are no good or bad values, morals assigned to the outcomes with Newton's Third Law of Motion, lol, just laughing that that is what I have to type.

And because it is a religious belief Karma, it requires Faith and absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

But what do you mean you believe in Karma but don't rely on Karma.  

[ruloinfovoter]

Nevermind on that last question, I'm afraid I know what you mean.

I don't believe in Karma and I never rely on Karma, ever.

I have never seen somone struggle with Newtons third before today........

[ruloinfovoter]

That wasn't the struggle.  

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

Still posting about yourself.....goodness.

[tcmsecretuseid]

I'll answer anyway. 

I believe that Karma "happens" frequently. 

I don't think if I give to a charity, something good will happen to me. I don't rely on something good happening, just because I did something good. 

I also don't feel that all bad things happen because someone was bad. I think life has its ups and downs, and all-arounds. 

I'm not a Buddhist. I do like many aspects of the religion. 

My kids heard the phrase, Oh-oh, Karma, karma, karma, a lot when they were growing up. 😉
