I personally find karma to be rather insidious. If you see a needlessly suffering person or animal, it sounds rather sadistic to say "they must've done something to deserve that". I believe it was used in Hirohito's Zen Buddhism during WW2 to justify some of the crazy shit that the Japanese soldiers did to the Chinese. I'm not a fan of any sort of cosmic justice system, and karma isn't really much better than "God will punish you after you're dead".
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
