No. I believe in life there are ups and downs for everyone. When someone gets an inevitable 'down' someone will shout 'that's karma for something horrible you previously did!' when in fact it's just part of the normal cycle of life.

But you could say Karma is cycle aswell - my beliefs on the matter are a little more spiritual |

Yes, I bought my daughter a shirt on Saturday, and I was under the impression that it was £4, got to the till, and it rang up at £5, the girl apologised, but I said "no worries, its not your fault" paid the money and left, without causing a fuss like I have seen some people do.
I goit outside, and what did I find?
A pound coin, karma, sometimes its instant  |

"Yes, but only in so much that people tend to reap what the sow. If you're a shit to others, they'll tend to be shits back. "

There's no mysterious outside forces involved, the treatment you dish out to others influences how you are treated in turn. Add a dollop of coincidence, our propensity to affirmation bias and you have "karma".

I don't generally believe in extra sensory psychic phenomena where there's not good evidence.
I do think that we can influence and create our own payback experiences though; this would be fairly standard behavioural processes.
There's no god or spirit etc that's likely existing anywhere. |

What you sow in this life maybe returned in your next life - but thats only if you believe in reincarnation and your soul is a continuous soul.

No, I don't believe in karma. I do believe that people that do bad things or who are really horrible aren't ever at peace with themselves but then quite a lot of good people aren't either and that if you respond positively to people they will respond similarly most of the time and vice versa. There are plenty of examples of people who committed terrible acts who died free and happy.
Karma, like religion lets us cling on to the hope that the universe is just, it really isnt otherwise a lot of five year old Syrians have done some bad stuff in their short lives. |

You don't need to apologise for a sincerely held belief.
Do you think that some of the hideous crimes inflicted on people, especially children are as a result of something they did in a previous life or is it more random than that? |

Just a discussion not an argument or any attempt to force my _iews on you just another way of the thinking.
I dont condone the death of anyone of any age through violence.
Karma in my opinion doesnt relate to death.
It can transcend one life to another.
I believe my death is already written the form it comes in no one knows and it will come once i have achieved the purpose of my life |

I know it's just a discussion and you wouldn't be able to force your _iews on me I have my own deeply held spiritual beliefs centred around personal responsibility. The reason I asked you the question was because I find it all interesting.  |

"Not really, I think it's a bit of a cop out. Life can be tough, and harsh, and unfair and sometimes that's just the way it is. "
This. 
Bad things sometimes just happen
Equally, I don't like to put good things down to good karma, if I achieve something it's down to me not some universal force. |

I think if you accept the premise of reincarnation then karma may become a possibility. Without it I see far too many manipulative and abusive people seemingly happy and thriving whilst many good and caring people constantly struggling to accept it. |

"I try and learn from life experiences but I don't think the experience happens to me to teach me anything...I think my attitude to life trys to gain a positive from everything that occurs. "
What you have described above to me is Karmic.
But i dont think you can belive in Karma without having some sort of spiritual element to you.
None of us are perfect.
I've not met a spiritual person that is not positive.
Karma and Spirutuality (some people may call it faith ) for those that believe in leads them to living a positive life.
Yes their are those who you use the same principles for hate and to cause fear. The use it as an excuse to hide behind. Within my own belief system their time will come |

"I think if you live a life just being a cunt, it will catch up with you."
.
That's unfortunately just wishful thinking!.
Lots of Nazi concentration camp guards lead long happy healthful lives into their 90s before dying in their sleep in a comfortable bed. |

Absolutely. If your unkind, I believe it will bite you back on the bottom, but flip it the other side of the coin , if you do a good dead I do believe you'll get rewarded.
It pays to be nice and kind.  |

the life we have on earth is only part of the cycle, we may be here at the beginning middle or end of our cycle. When we have completed the cycle we move to the next plane where it starts again until we have completed that. When we have completed evetything we go to the final plane where our soul can then rest. I think im in my last life cycle and will be moving to the next plane when i leave earth.
Now that is what i believe and that belief serves me well but i dont expect everybody to believe it |

Will the dinosaur souls be there too or is just the animals called humans that get in?.
Where do all the extra souls come from, we only started off with few and now we're many, what the extra souls doing while waiting for extra human bodies, what we're they doing while there were no humans at all?....
It all seems like a very complicated way of explaining stuff that's already quite complicated.
I like to uncomplicate stuff by saying I'm alive, I'm doing shit and then I'll die and i won't do shit..... It's by far the easiest explanation as to what's going on in my life, as long as you can grasp one fact that your not that bloody important in the grand scheme of things.... It works great |

I can't believe they weren't always looking over their shoulder, worried about exposure and then capture at some point. Not the punishment they deserved, but a form of punishment |

Offcourse Dinosaurs, animals even plants have souls. Souls dont live in one plane.

Everything is just atoms, so in that respect we will all come back, we have always been here & we always will..
We are atheists, we have morals, know right from wrong, so I don't need a God to protect or look to or live my life by the teachings of, I live my life trying not to harm others, if I'm wrong & there is a just God he will welcome me anyway if he doesn't fuck him as he'll be no god I would want to have followed anyway
One of my favorite song lyrics
"What if god is real but religions one big lie?" - Everlast

No. But I do believe that on balance, the more that you are nice to other people and the more positive an outlook you have, the more that is reflected back to you.
And vice versa. |

I said this to someone today.
I always thought i wasnt religious well in fact i always said i wasnt.
Until i changed the word religion to the word faith and i very much have a faith its just not the religion and god i grew uo thinking i should believe in. I realized my faith cant be pigeon holed |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
You can attract good things in life
But also unfortunately perfect ly awful things in to your life aswell. Let the perfect ly awful things in life disappear as they mean nothing. |

I think psychologically, we programme ourselves with something like karma, whenever we do bad things - especially against others.
There is no escape from our own minds, so we create our own future unhappiness. Acquiring lots of material wealth, whilst ever more dead on the inside and unable to form really deep trust and love with others around you, is too high a price to pay.
Be free, be generous and do good for others. It doesn't matter if you have an imbalance, this life is sustainable and healthy. |
