Buddhist feels uncomfortable with the consequences of his belief, buddhist declares that his beliefs are, thusly, "not for that purpose". Okay...if the belief isn't for that purpose....perhaps you should cease to use that belief, for that purpose?
I'm surprised that you chose to leverage any of this in order to lead a good life. It seems to me like you're the one making buddhism better, not the other way round. : shrugs :
Do you think that generally good natured people invent rape magic in order to satisfy a desire for punishment that will extend beyond a persons death? Do you think that generally good natured people would call any of that justice? To me, being made to be born poor, starving, raped, and diseased is the very opposite of justice. I can;t see an ounce of it in there. Seems to me, like karma would be something you'd be opposed to...if you hate injustice. But hey, I may not be a good natured person so my opinion on the matter may not be representative, lol.
I keep asking you how many dogs I'd have to kick, you've declined to answer. I have a sneaking suspicion that you realize just as well as I do that you're not discussing a moral life, you're not discussing justice.

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 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!
