Regardless of which religion you turn to, the story is basically "Your suffering is invalid because it's either your own fault and/or all these fictional people went through the same thing or worse with smiles and joy in their hearts and untouched piety, sooo...fuck you."
So, according to your line of thinking if someone rape and kill your loved one and are not caught in this life will never paid for their debt?
Would you really like that Pinky?
Get real Pinky.
If life would be based on good luck and bad luck the universe would have gone billion of years ago already.
What is not gone long time ago are the dreamers that think that is all based on good luck and bad luck.
These dreamers are the one that try to drag the society behind.
As bad as the religious fanatics.
What I would like to believe and what is actually true don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, do they Rik? What you would like to believe has no impact on the truth either, for that matter. The truth is true regardless of what anyone believes about it, and the simple fact is that there's no evidence of karma, reincarnation, or hell.
Your argument is a ham-fisted appeal to emotion, and not a very good one. If someone raped and killed my loved one, there's a good chance they'd get caught. Even if they didn't, they might get caught later on down the line if they continued to behave that way. If they're executed or they kill themselves, they've been deprived the rest of their existence, which isn't exactly "getting away with it".
Maybe they wouldn't get caught, though. Sometimes people do bad things and nobody punishes them, Rik. Maybe it would be nice to believe that reality has a built-in justice system...I know I used to think that, and I'm ashamed to admit there were certainly times when I relished the thought of people getting punished by karma and/or god and/or hell for the times they'd wronged me or someone I cared about. You know what though? That's the cruelest kind of wishful thinking, and any system of dogma that encourages it is inherently unhealthy and destructive.
You're the one who's as bad as the religious fanatics, you sick fuck. You're the one who wants people to be punished across multiple lifetimes for crimes they at that point have no knowledge of having ever committed. That's disgusting.
Furthermore, you do not understand enough about probability, statistics, or science to make the statement you just made about the Universe and blind luck. All evidence indicates that the Universe IS blind luck, operating within a system that is governed by consistent physical laws. Particles aren't just randomly whizzing around in space, they clump together because they're attracted to each other. Blind luck doesn't mean absolute chaos, it just means nobody is pulling the strings of the system.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
