This is not like Naked_Lunch's idea but here it is:
There is no God and your life isn't trying to appeal to any higher figure. There is no such thing as immortality, BUT re-incarnation exists.
One does not need money to commit good, when one does good deeds they are given through themselves good karma.
Good Deeds include:
Helping your friend
Helping the elderly
Holding a positive attitude
Not using drugs or alcohol
No use of pornography
Safe-sex
Helping around your home
etc.
When one does bad deeds they are given bad karma. There is no hell or heaven but if one has bad karma they are reincarnated in a little less of a better case. Not to mention-GUILT!
Bad deeds:
Sexual Misconduct
"Cheating"
Drugs
Alcohol
Pornography
Lies or deceipt
etc.

When one has traveled through lives and finally leads a life free of misdeeds they achieve Spiritness which is like a world totally free of misdeeds. Where love runs free.



Your Thoughts? :)

I'm a Christian, so I don't believe in Karma. I believe that when one accepts Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Savior, that person is granted eternal life in Heaven after death.

If one accepts Christ and is a "sinner" but claims Christianity to be its idea.
Hell for them?

If you're a sinner, than your sins are forgiven. That isn't an excuse to commit terrible sins, but the Bible instead tells us to live holy and pleasing lives that honor God.

They will see it when they come to this section. Thank you, but I have no further interest in this thread.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily agree with all the details you gave for what is considered good or bad karma, but I DO believe in a system pretty much like karma--that the universe keeps things in balance, and that those who do bad deeds get the comeuppance.

Well, I don't know if the system I believe in necessarily has a name, but "karma" or "karmic retribution" is pretty close. And as for your details on what is good and bad karma, my main beef was with your listing pornography as being bad...I personally don't see much harm in pornography, though I can see where it can lead to bad things for people that abuse it...but that could be applied to many things.

Sex isn't awful...we wouldn't be here without it...but i think Porn is a way of giving in to sexual temptation.
Agree?Disagree?

I don't see what's wrong with this "temptation," because I don't see sex as something that's purely for reproduction...but that's an issue for another thread. So I think it's best to stay on topic here with the whole Karma thing. Oh, and welcome to the forums. :)

Thanx i am glad to be here!

I think we here many adaptations of Karma in the media and in common tongue but i think that a bad deed is payed for by your guilt.
I've done a bad thing or two in my day(But that's for another thread ;) )
and i payed for it with guilt. That's life.
Your thoughts?
