That isn't proof, it's just a description of karma.

If karma exists, then how come some of the kindest souls in the world work shit jobs and live in poverty while scumbag CEO's who wouldn't know ethics if it kicked them in the ass are doing great?




Maybe the kind souls are happy and the CEO's go home at night and cry while they get buttfucked by an overpriced hooker?

I'm sure the kind souls are happy coming back from their 12 hour factory shift to live in their government provided shithouse.

Much more happy thanthe CEO who can afford any vacation he could dream of, and probably has taken most of these vacations already.

Karma is bullshit.

When did it develop? If you accept evolution, then our ancestors were once bacteria; do bacteria have karma? No, not really, because bacteria don't have minds.

Yet as organisms evolved to have a central area for nerve cells, which finally became our brain, karma sprang out of nothing? No, our consciousness is simply electrons passing through neural pathways; karma is wishful thinking to make the world seem more just than it actually is.

Karma is the pseudoscientific version of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_phenomenon

Again your off track, where talking about karma not your net worth. You dont know the definition of Karma apparently. I am sure CEO's have tons of stress all the time, as do factory workers living from paycheck to paycheck. Its all relative. What makes the CEO have better "karma" than the blue collar workers? Karma has been around longer than money. If you think as Karma as having a "better life, more money" than your not seeing the big picture. We as Americans are a materialistic society, we have been taught that money is everything so I can see where your coming from. You just simply have open your eyes and truly see that to have good karma, it does not incorporate what we have. Hopefully you will learn to view the world in a different light, I know its hard but just try.

Ravus Lmao.

To close minded to see. Work on it. And of course if you believed in evolution then you wouldn't believe in karma. But since we did not evolve from apes or however else you want to spin it, then your idea just went out the door. There is a "higher being" that created everything and everybody. I dont want to get started on evolution really, it will just turn into a big argument and we both know we will not change our views, so lets leave it at that. I believe you guys are just talking out of your azz for the hell of it. So this is my last thread on this subject.

I'm talking out of my ass?

Let's see, who follows scientific evidence?

Who looks at basic human cognitive biases to explain bullshit beliefs?

Whose theory follows Occam's razor?

Karma is pure pseudoscience. You have no evidence whatsoever for any of your statements.
