Not sure I can say I believe in Karma too literally (not sure I can align that with Christian theology!) but certainly our actions have consequences that we don't see.

I believe the basic principles of karma are inherently built into the universe. Reciprocity, actions and equal/opposite reactions and the like. I don't believe God or any other supreme being is watching the karma scale, dispensing out rewards and punishments based on behavior.

Hell yes. Sometimes karma is too slow so you have to give it a nudge

for one whenever i see someone acting like a jackass, i never see instant justification of them being a jackass.
It's destined for a bad thing to happen to someone. When something bad happens to someone who is acting like a jackass, people will call it karma, but in reality, it's just part of what happens because no one has perfect days, one after the other.
hell yeah, i believe in karma! i'm positive that these damn headaches are the restitution for something bad i did in previous life! it's the only thing that makes any sense because god knows i'm just an angel in this life!

Karma is a nice concept but I have seen way to many a holes get ahead in this world on the efforts of more deserving folks to put much stock in it.
Although my ex wife did marry some guy who ended up getting arrested for smuggling pot and is currently serving a 10 year sentence. I guess that is some kind of Karma.

I don't because I don't believe in reincarnation the way it's all set up to be.
And for some reason it is irritating to me when people use the word "karma" to mean something other than the real meaning of it... a force that works over lifetimes... not an instantaneous thing or a "what goes around comes around" kind of thing... but I guess a word hasn't been invented for "short-term karma" and people don't know better.

No, but I believe in the soul. The c**k. The p***y. The small of a woman's back. The hanging curveball. High fiber. Good scotch. That the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitutional Amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve. And I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days...Goodnight.

I believe in Karma. I over tipped the waiter the other night by like $10. Right when I walked outside, I saw 2 shooting stars. I made somebody happy. (Plus, when you work for tips, it's nice to have the tipping karma on your side )

if you live your life without something bad happening to you, then you're really f'ing special.
I'm saying that bad things happen to people, and these "karma" people call it karma, but in reality, it's just life giving you shit, which is going to happen.
Do you believe in karma?
