Karma is only the law of cause and effect nothing more, anyone saying it is anything else is misguided. When people start thinking in terms of good or bad coming to you for doing good or bad it is only as much as you have built systems in your life for good or bad coming to you, like not choosing to cause a problem for someone else because you feel bad means they aren’t going to snap back at you.
That a god exists.
I’m right here dude
Oh, thank Albert! I was looking for you.
Here is the list of new things I want that I came up with since we last talked…
Or karma, or fairness.

Karma exists. Western karma is nonsense.
It’s not supposed to fairness/consequences in this life but rather across lifetimes.
It’s fine for you to believe but I see it as totally made up to keep people in line.
When we die we’re dead and don’t care because we are no more.
Meh. I don’t see that belief much on Lemmy.
You didn’t specify it had to be a popular belief on Lemmy. 🤷♂️
It would be pointless otherwise.
You’d just get a bunch of popular complaints about what those other people believe.
It’s what’s popular here, and dissent from that, that’s interesting
Oh, I get it. I would be like me saying you’re a moron. Pointless because Lemmy as a community agrees with the statement.
Yes, something classy like that.
You should’ve specified that’s what you were looking for, then.
if I underline every single obvious thing then we’ll be here all day.
Not with your attitude, we won’t be.
So we can’t just vent about real-world issues? Everything in your post needs to be through the lense of this very specific social media platform?
