| Slimebeast said: Not just thumping the bible, but partly. The second sentence is what you describe as bible thumping, yes, and it's actually the core of Christianity, to claim that Christ is God. Yes, it could be described as bible thumping, but there's nothing wrong with that, it works that way. The Good News spread that way. My first sentence though, has to do with what I think is the interesting part. Our search for truth. I am making a point about it, because I'm not primarily interested in comparing ideologies and beliefs and try to determine which is "better" for mankind by some contemporary, humanistic standards. I am interested in truth. And a Karmic worldview just doesn't make any sense. The belief in karmic justice, that if somebody does wrong to you, "you let the world sort it out" is idiocy to me, because it's not just childish, but unlikely and unlogical, and so therefore it just can't be true, and that's why in my opinion it ultimately doesn't matter much, if any, if the belief in karmic justice by some measure causes people to behave in a "good" or "better" way than any other worldview. |
This post was hilarious to me for how inept it was.
Karma and Christianity are similar in that they both share the idea that things will be sorted through some authority, be it "the world" or "god". It is some pervasive force that doles out judgement. Both are absurd, for the same reason.
Guess when you're blinded by one side, you can't see the overlapping stupidity. By the way, the word is "illogical".
OT: Karma, no brainer. No one has ever been compelled to murder or terrorize as a result of it.
