Karma, Real or Fake?

[FatAndFaithless]

That's a rather simplistic view of cause and effect isn't it? I can do a bad thing to obtain a good result, and vice versa. And as for the 'magical power' thing, that kind of is what karma is if you're talking about it in a spiritual or religious sense. If karma isn't anything besides "Actions have consequences, be thougthful", then why use a special word with spiritual baggage?

Not really, I use to be a programmer, as a hiring process I'd have my applicants program me a calculator, they'd give me over 300 lines of code, they massively over complicated something that could have been done simplistically.

I explained it simply because it really isn't that complicated. But people LOVE making things complicated for some reason.

I don't think I quite understand your analogy.
