what is karma?

Edenoscar:

what is karma?

Good question.

Of course, as an atheist I believe in the law of karma.
I see manifest every single minute of my life.

The law of karma does not necessarily have to have spiritual or religious connotations.

We all know that you can only reap what you sow, and that as you make your bed, do you must lie on it.

In physics, the law is expressed as : Action and reaction are equal and opposite.

In life every step or action that we take becomes a stepping stone or building block to future events.

That's why I believe that Man( humankind) is the master of his destiny, for good or for bad.

Edenoscar:

Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. One can think of karma as the spiritual equivalent of Newton’s Law of Motion. “For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.” Basically, when we exhibit a negative force in thought, word, or action, that negative energy will come back to us.

What are metaphysical and unnatural forces?
Kindly mention one or two that you know.
Thank you.

Of course the universe is governed by natural forces, dome which we now understand, some of which we are still trying to understand.
There is nothing in the universe that suggests that it is under the control or influence of a supreme being.
The supreme being is a contradiction in terms, and only connotes the tiny limits of human imagination.

If u agree that karma exists then u should also know that the world is governed by a supreme force..

Or don't u think so

@bolded, that I cannot explicitly say because I am a deist but I believe there has to be someone or something..

I don't see any kind of remote correlation between reaping what you sow, that is, seeing the negative consequences of negative actions, and the idea of supreme being or supreme force .
No correlation whatsoever.

What exactly is supreme force , and how exactly is it different from say, gravitational force or the Sun's solar, thermal and electromagnetic forces ?

Japhet04:
@bolded, that I cannot explicitly say because I am a deist but I believe there has to be someone or something..

I too once believed that there had to be something. In fact, I once believed that a monster lived in our backyard.
That only makes us human. It doesn't make it true.

Honestly i dont,
You know people are usually fond of saying "what goes around comes around" maybe its true but you cant deny the fact that good things happen to good people,good things happen to bad people,bad things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people.

If you think that there's some supernatural force that fight for justice and restore balance in the world then you'll have to explain why an armed who has killed so taken so many lives,raped,robbed,molested would one day run to a far away place probably get married have kids and die a peaceful death at a ripe old age of 90 or was the karma asleep ar decide to suspend it own laws

I agree with you cause as long as IBB is still alive and one of the richest men in Africa while Dele Giwa is long dead, I wont believe in Karma.

Atheists have only one thing in common: Lack of belief in the existence of God.

Personally though, I don't believe in karma. We live in a world where the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., Ken Saro-Wiwa, etc. get killed while Stalin and Mao die of natural causes and Hitler only dies when he chooses to.

Their is nothing like karma
What we experience is coincidence, it does not happen everytime
Just like an armed robber or cultist who kills with gun, their is high tendency that they may be more likely to be killed by gun depending on their level of operation, sometimes most of their deadly killers goes free while newly ones may die at there first attempt.

Even if you dont believe in the law of karma you will still reap what you sow

“As you sow, so shall you reap”. This is also known as the “Law of Cause and Effect”.

There is.

Simply because much water seeps in the earth, some absorbed by plants, some by terrestrial animals.

With this response you are trying to tell me you dont want to think. Before any precipitation water or fluid existed in any of the above listed elements and each has maximum it can take, and excesses leads to excretion for optimum balance
