Job vs karma

Sure thing, It is morally wrong😵

If it is morally wrong under all circumstances, would you agree that it is a moral absolute?

And I explained karma isn't limited to the current life. I accept, as a Christian, you do not believe in reincarnation. However Hindus do, and karma is their concept, not yours.

Please take a moment to consider that. A good person may indeed experience bad things in this life, which would indeed appear unjust. Karma however kicks in (for a Hindu ...[text shortened]... you have no genuine interest in understanding karma, please don't waste my time asking about it.

So if you were a pigeon in your previous life and you took a dump on Hitlers head you could be rewarded by being upgraded to a albatross in the next life? Makes a lot sense.

Just to clarify, you'd prefer to ridicule rather than understand the beliefs of another faith?

Good to know.

So you're saying that is not an accurate example of how karma works? What would an accurate outworking of karma be for a pigeon that takes a dump on the head of a mass murderer?

Seriously. I tried to give you a grown up explanation of karma, something by the way I don't believe in myself. (Any more than i believe in a Messiah dying for the sins of mankind. No less fanciful to me).

If you can only respond with infantile bird droppings and zero respect for another faith, then don't bother.

Edit: Tell me again which one of us has an open mind.

It's not about having an open mind. There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end it leads to death. Having an opened mind is like Curiosity killed the cat.

I would not agree; for it is morally wrong under all circumstances solely because this is the current consensus.
If tomorrow the consensus were pro rape according to the international law, and thus raping were cosidered a virtue and a non-rapist a criminal, I would happily break the law and I would be a criminal big time😵

Perhaps it is your way, though seeming right, will in the end lead to death. Perhaps that is the fate of a closed mind?

No I simply asked you why bad things happen to good people if karma is true.

Do you really want to know what is karma and why is it true, dj2becker?
😵

Exactly, just go with the flow.

The Bible teaches that you shall reap what you sow. I believe that is true. Getting punished for stuff you did in a previous life is a little too far fetched for me.

Going with the flow never concerns me😵

And so it shouldn't if you have no convictions of your own. 😵

Aren't you being punished now for all the crap you pulled as @Fetchmyjunk?

"Getting punished for stuff you did in a previous life" is a shallow core belief😵
