Do you believe in Karma?

As a side not Carlos, if I wind up half the man my dad was I'll die happy.

[Mr.Maduro]

If I believe, does this mean I have to start being nice to you?

What will I do for fun?

As a side note to your side note:
Here is a poem I treasure hanging in my home's office.
It is in Spanish and I am translating it.

Life is like this:
At 7, dad is a genius

At 10, seems to me dad is wrong on occasions

At 14, dad doesn't know anything

At 21, dad is behind the times, has old thinking

At 30, this is a tough/delicate situation, let me consult with dad

At 40, had my dad had my experiences in life to date, at my age, my dad would have been a self made millionaire.

At 50, dad was a genius. Too bad I realized that too late.

Job 4:8 says, “As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.”

This is biblical...around way before 'Karma'...

Buddhism is older then Christianity. Buddah lived and achieved enlightenment around 500 BCE. Judaism did begin about 1500 years before this.

So the Judeo-Christian belief system is older then Buddhism. But not Christianity. Since the Book of Job was Old Testament, it predates Buddah.

Now that the question has been answered, the thread can get back to it's original topic.

Just as a reminder to everyone, like politics, discussing religion is not permitted at CA.

just to make it clear Peter, it wasn't a discussion, just a simple question. Me, being an atheist, wasn't sure on the statement made, therefore I ask for clarification, which I got

I definitely believe in Karma, eventually si haces algo mal en este mundo las pagas aqui o cuando mueras, si no en tu proxima vida. Thats what my grandparents always said. Basically if you do something bad in this world you will pay it in the after life or if you reincarnate.
