I'm pretty sure that this is not why you believe in karma, and that belief in karma is not why you refrain from doing bad deeds. You've said as much yourself. You would not, if you stopped being a buddhist, start pushing old ladies out in the street. Or would you like to change your mind about that? In any case, this is a common christian claim..that even if they were wrong, there would still be utility in their beliefs.

Not at all what I asked you. You mentioned that a christian threatened you with punishment for failing to adhere to his religious beliefs. You have threatened me with rape magic, if I do not adhere to yours. Again, stop with this "making me understand" bullshit. If I've misunderstood, tell me specifically where, tell me that karma will not rape me for my misdeeds, as related by buddhism. I've given you the opportunity more than once now. You can't. You can't tell me that I've misunderstood that portion of your beliefs, because you yourself have related it -as- a portion of your beliefs. You refuse to abandon karmas ability to rape me in my next life (or this one) for some thing that buddhism has declared "bad". That -is- something that you believe in. It has fuck all to do with keeping you from doing bad things - and you know that too.
I have not misunderstood, you are simply reeling away from the ugliness of it all....just as you did when a christian made the same threat, to you.
Hey, fun fact, guess what's going to happen to you if you don't follow my moral structure? Not a damned thing. You aren't going to be punished by my non-existent god, nor will you be raped by my fantasy magic. The affrontery of either claim, made by yourself and your christian compatriots, is plain and impossible to ignore. Most of you never seem to see it, though, in relation to your own faiths...even when, like yourself, you are plainly capable of seeing it in another's faith.
How many cigarettes do I have to smoke, do you imagine, as per your rule number 4.....before karma rapes me for it?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
