Its you're time to reject it; where I differ with Christianity, is that rejection is meaningless to god, because he has you rejecting him. He wants you there, thus that rejection is NOT condemnation for you; its karma; its position; its destiny. I do not view atheism as evil, nor as a thing from the devil. NO! I see god as its source, as he is the source of theism as well.
You replied to my last post while I was editing it in hope of making things a bit clearer - I've just added a note at the end to say that you didn't misquote me.
How are you defining karma here? You should find the title of this article somewhat familiar because we have the same saying in Western culture with the same meaning.
As you Sow so shall you Reap
Quote:He who sows paddy reaps paddy. He who sows green gram reaps green gram. He who sows oranges reaps oranges. Man sows the seed to attain what he desires to reap. Even so, man does evil deeds and reaps the fruits of pain. He who does virtuous actions reaps good fruits. One reaps the fruits according to his Karmas or actions.
Western culture saying -
As you sow so shall you reap
Quote:Meaning - Your deeds, good or bad, will repay you in kind.
Origin - From the Bible, Galatians VI (King James Version):
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
It's one thing telling me that God chose me to be an atheist so I was destined to be one but it's very confusing when you say it's karma. What seed did I sow to reap my destiny as an atheist?
I don't believe our paths are up to us completely, we reap after we are put into our paths, whatever we do while on the predestined path , we sew the benefits or troubles from it. We did not ask to be born, and we are put on paths by influences far greater than us. You seeded nothing to be an atheist, it was predestined before you were born.

No, I don't agree with that. Going back to nothing means nothing.

Sure, we can start with this: and after you step on it I can continue with more on just that; after you mangle the next, I'll give the next.

I started with that, I did not write that; if you are now fault finding, you must dig deeper.
What about Krishna, and why did you capitalize that name?
