So long as "very close" is wide enough to encompass previously undiscovered moral normative natural forces..sure. This is, frankly, an example of your similarity /w christians moreso than any similarity /w me. This, more than anything, is all I'm hoping to help you see. Sin and forgiveness are to christians what karma is to buddhists. Despite the differences in method, they both pursue the same end. I can't see that there's anything wrong with pursuing that end - though obviously I have my doubts as to the efficacy of either of your methods.
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!
