They don't just effect you psychological such that if you think your good but do bad deeds that you don't think too much about, it doesn't effect you negatively. It doesn't matter how guilty or not guilty you are about it, you inherit your acts and become either more good or less good.
And I would like to add, this judgement reckoning to who we are, is properly basic belief of humans, that we take for granted by just knowing ourselves and what it means to be who we are. This is one of the signs of the Lord of the universe who judges and brings souls into account.
Ah, ok. Personally, I don't buy that we are but a sum of our actions. Though we can be judged (in court, not the afterlife) for them (along with motive and intent), they do not make up who we are. Good people are capable of atrocity and vile people are capable of kindness. Motive and intention are far more important than actions.
So, I don't buy the concept of inheriting actions just as I don't buy the concept of a soul or the concept of an all-powerful, loving gawd.
