Anthony, As you are well aware I believe both 'karma' and 'God/sin' to be illusory, but I do have some questions about your (or anyone else reading this) belief in karma:
- Is there 'good' and 'bad karma? Or only 'bad' karma? Or just generic, suitble-for-every-day-use karma? - How is karma accumulated? - Where is it accumulated? (To what is it attached?) - How is karma reduced/exhausted? - Where does karma go when it 'leaves' you? - What happens when karma is exhausted? That's enough for now...Bill! --- In [email protected], Anthony Wu <wuasg@...> wrote: > > That defeats the definition of karma. God can absolve sin, while karma > cannot.
