I can assume most of you are Christians; how can you be a Christian yet also believe in something that is a tenet of Buddhism (which has no gods)?  The idea of karma is no different than astrology, psychics, tarot cards, and other bull like that.

The only type of "karma" that exists is the kind you create for yourself when dealing with others.  If you are a jerk to your family, friends, co-workers, and/or neighbors, don't expect them to be nice to you when you're in trouble.  Although even then there is a chance they might be nice to you out of their own good will.

There is no karma.  Things happen, good and bad, to everyone.  There is no rhyme or reason to it - that's just life.
"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
-- Carl Sagan

I'm not sure about karma. But I do believe that your attitude infuences things around you. If you have a negative attitude you see the negative things and miss the positive. If you have a positive attitude you see negative things as manageable or not so bad. So appreciate the good things in your life and look for positive things happening around you or to you daily and you will have good "karma"!

I incline to believe in karma because similar situations have happened to me before. Something bad happened one day and the next I was very happy and lucky or vice versa. However, I want to focus on doing what I can instead of just thinking it's predetermined.

Evil befalls evil, good begets good. Karma is, I have seen it work.

Everything has its merits.
You can believe in two things that are not contradictory.
You can believe that doing good things in the Lord's name will net good things for you in return.
