Superstiton/religion & anti intellectualism

RE: Superstiton/religion & anti intellectualism
Oh, and re: the OP - -    Big Grin

If Karma was real, then surely we would SEE evildoers get taken down, and the people who had spent their lives helping the poor would be the ones to win the lottery a week before they're due to retire, wouldn't we?   Yes, I know that karma believers will probably tell me that karma influences who, or what, we become in the next life - - - which makes no sense.  

There is a Buzzfeed site "21 reasons why karma is not real" - - has pictures - - but here is part of the list it gives.  (The site is a little depressing but I agree with some of these.)
1. Everyone seems to believe that the universe tends to even things out in the end.
2. But we all know that’s bullshit, what goes around never comes around.
3. Bullies always get away with their actions.
4. And assholes never face any repercussions.
5. Rich people live by a different set of rules.
6. And justice is basically a load of bullshit.
7. There is no invisible force keeping moral order.
8. Terrible people constantly tip toe around the law without punishment.
9. Everyday assholes flaunt their disregard for our unwritten rules.
10. Every minute criminals get away with something new.
11. Our actions mean jack shit.
12. We live in a world full of pure chaos.
13. Cutting corners is rewarded!
14. And being nice gets you NO WHERE.
15. There’s no reason to be concerned about other people.
16. There’s no cosmic power that punishes dickheads for their actions.
