Which concept has done more good in the world? Karma or The God of Abraham?

Well if you consider the 10 Commandments, which is the foundation of the laws of western civilisation you've got to think that's pretty big and has done the world a lot of good, if you consider the brutal and savage state of the world at the time those commandments were given.

But equally, Karma, or more appropriately the teachings of Krishna were the foundations of Eastern civilisation, which has also achieved a great deal in the world.

So it pretty much comes out even IMO.

It all derives from the same God anyway. So it's like asking what's done more good in society, laws or administration? They're both part of the same whole.

What value do the 10 commandments have? Almost half of them are absolutely useless. The rest are common sense, and are explained less commandingly using philosophy of karma. The 10 commandments are just a bloated, authoritarian, unsatisfactory set of laws. If the laws are common sensical, why explain them? If the laws aren't self-explanatory, why not explain why they are there? It's weird, because the commandments which I called useless are actually given explanations.
