I know which idea has done the most harm. But Which do you think has done the most good? For clarification... the god of Abraham is the God in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Holy Books. Yes, It all started with Abraham and his One God. Ppl branched into many directions but it's the same idea. I can't say a lot for christianity.. I read the red print: Christ's own words. I beleive the red words have done a lot of good. But the black print not so much. Especially when you consider all the jewish, muslim, chistian wars and other acts christ would not have been kool with.
Karma is, I think, better. You do good because you want good things to happen to you. You don't cause harm for the same reason. When some one screws you, and not in a good way, you let the world sort it out.
What are your thoughts? God of Abraham or Karma?

There is no accountability for Karma. When something goes wrong, when the world does not work out the way you thought it should or when your good deeds go unnoticed, people get bitter. The problem with wanting people to do to you as you do to others is that its dependent on just that.
The bible teaches that you do good because you want to obtain Christ like personification. Meaning you do not do good because you want to be notice, accepted or people to do the same for you. You do good because that’s what Christ would do. he seeks no justification for his action. He seeks no glory and he does not seek anyone to accept his good deeds, he just does it.
Seeking good only to see it happen to you is actually a selfish want. Most times people get bitter or dishearten when their good deeds go unnoticed because they are looking for the acceptance of Man. So for the people who seek the reward of their GOD, they feel its more dependable than seeking the reward of man.

So do what Jesus did? Like destroy fig trees in inexplicable rage because they don't have figs? Like bring up that you're the son of someone important in every sentence? I guess those actions need no explanation. You just do them.

I love it how desperatly you are trying to find something ''bad'' Christ did, and forget 99% of what Bible says about him. ''So do what Jesus did?'' LMAO! Seriously?? Yeah, if were all like Jesus, heaven would already be on Earth.
But seeing your other posts in this thread, it is clear how close minded and hateful you are towards anything Christian. Disgusting

What desperation? A bad apple spoils the basket, no?
Also, if we were to all start acting like Jesus, all fig trees would be destroyed come winter time. That'd be bad, so let's not do that. I like figs. We'd also delusionally talk about our all-powerful fathers all the time. Also bad.
Finally, I'm not closed-minded; quite the opposite actually. Do you think I was raised an atheist? Also, I don't think anything I've done is disgusting. You must have me confused with your Catholic priests.
