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

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

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).

Karma is simply cause-effect, it is true, and it must be conceived within the context of the philosophy that came up with this concept (and there are many different traditions as regards this matter). It is graspable beyond conceptualization;
Why do bad things happen to good people? Methinks that since “good” and “evil” are ultimately non-existent, “bad” things can and do happen to “good” entities all the time😵
because sometimes what we call good can destroy us. The line between the two isn't as
clear as night and day.

Strange how you always feel threatened by different ideas, as if they are trying to convert you, rather than simply having an interest in the beliefs of others, even if you don't agree with them.

Originally posted by @kellyjayMethinks to know what is good, a deep breath is enough. And to know what is bad, you have to study it. I see no line at all between them two; the sole difference is the accurate evaluation of the mind😵

Originally posted by @black-beetlePersonal taste seems to be the tool used to define good and evil, while I think that is a shifting plumb line to use. It can vary from person and how they feel at the moment.

It's called intellectual honestly.

Originally posted by @kellyjayIf it is personal taste, I think it's simply predisposition. The product must be the fruit of an accurate evaluation of the mind instead of wishful thinking, expectations, bias, phobias etc. etc., my feer. Accurate evaluation of the mind along with full responsibility as regards the consequences, that is😵

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