Tell me again how buddhism helps you to be a better person because I sure as shit don't see it.
Then how would you explain that a girl out of 7 billion will get raped? Coincidence , chance ? I'm sorry i just can't buy that. Yes the rapist will accumulate more bad karma.
"A girl is raped because of her past karma" . I'm not for a moment saying she deserves it. I would be a heartless person to say that. In fact just like everyone else i feel compassion. I used karma to explain why it happened. Not to say she deserves it.
Karma is a bullshit word. Now seriously, 50 million humans die worldwide per year from everything. If we want to work on reducing harm to our fellow humans, Karma, nor Hell, nor Jesus, nor Yahweh or Mohammed nor Apollo explain anything about why good or bad happen.
If you agree that rape is not the victim's fault, then don't gap fill with bullshit antiquated superstitions as to why the perp does it. They do it in reality because they are opportunists looking to fill a psychological deficit in either their own mental illness and or lack of power and control in their own personal lives. Rape has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with the rapist seeking power to make themselves feel good.
