This belief is very easy to stand on its head.       All I need to do is shoot the person, and they would have to say that it’s       their consciousness        or their karma rather than my fault.               It is your evil deed of killing which will be punished somehow somewhere; and       it is their past evil in this life or past lives which they will have paid by       getting killed. Or make it for a longer stay in Heaven, or get a much better       future in the next        life, for the undeserved ending of this one.       Thus it pays not to do evil.        Because karmic retribution is inevitable. Karma applies to everyone, like it       or not, believe it or not.        You too will be similarly killed or suffer an even worse fate when you make       killing a habit. You will be reborn in a much lower state.              On the other hand, if instead of killing you do good, then good will happen to       you, for your will get support from both the spiritual and material worlds.       And go to Heaven or return to Earth as a superioir being.              Choice is yours! Free will, what.              It helps not to be stupid.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
