For 2 reasons Roberto.

1) I am free from dogmas.
2) I established a spiritual relationship with the entity in charge of everything and this relationship works
just like any love relationship.........you give without expecting any reward but by the way rewards are coming anyway and that make me feel so good.  Lightbulb

You don't seem to be very attentive and observant to what you read Roberto.  Shake Fist

If you only would pay the due attention you would see that I only answer questions in that regard.
If someone ask me whether I am happy or not I reply to them.
That's it Roberto.
I am not the one who go around showing my magic mirrors.  Lightbulb

What would a badger have to do to qualify as well behaved?

I always wonder this. How are animals meant to make sense of this bollocks when it doesn't even make sense to us?

I think you'll find everything you say about Karma is dogma. I don't think you know what dogma means.

If you wish that something make sense to you you got to consider all details but you don't.
Take just one.
When an animal kill an other animal to survive the animal that get killed does not suffer the way we would suffer because an animal nervous system is not evolved like ours.
You know the old saying.......no brain no pain.
But there are a lot of other details that you would not know anyway.

As usually you are not specific Roberto.
You just throw judgment around hoping to hit the jackpot.
In reality is like to throw a stone in the water.
You hit nothing.  Wink

Animals often eat their prey alive.  I'm willing to say they suffer -just- as we would suffer, being eaten alive.  You realize that the crushing majority of animals do have a brain...., even if you might not?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

A brain with a less developed nervous system.
Right?
So what that means Rit?

On top of the above mention things I also practice yoga which is food for the mind so I am a lot more happy than you.
You never thought about that Rit, did you?  Wink

I think you spend way more time stirring up controversy on atheist forums than you do seeking oneness with the universe.

He tries too hard to be that wise yoga guru kind of guy, but he's just another dude who loves to argue online with strangers because he has nothing better to do.

So the yogi persona is part of his ego indentity .

You are the one that think that animals are suffering so much because they have a brain. Shake Fist Shake Fist
Unfortunately you don't take in consideration the fact that the animal brain is a lot less evolved.
The signals that the nervous system send to the brain are weaker and the pain weaker.

If you still can not get it I suggest you to do some researches to update your information.  Lightbulb
