It's really difficult for fictional characters in a book to punish anyone, but if you really want a god to hand out some well deserved karma, you have to write by hand on paper the following a million times.
Dear god, smite me with hand cramps as payment for my delusional thinking.

And how does this karma works? I mean at what point it decides to haunt you back / punish you? Like, some people just litter on the street a little bit and get instant karma, while others kill people and never get punished.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Does anybody here knows any rational website that analyzes, debunks and disproves karma completely?
Simply ignore it until someone can provide proof ( but don't hold your breath) of what after all can be dismissed as a magical concept, if a God(s) wanted us to take it seriously they would have provided credible evidence.

The universe doesn't give a fuck! There isn't any eternal "energy" vibing on your existence. Humans look for patterns. They draw lines to connect invisible dots.

That might not be such a bad exercise for a patient person, although I would change the message to something more positive, and only write it a thousand times.

Karma is simply a system for keeping the masses downtrodden by blaming them for the horrible position they are in. Instead of acknowledging that the upper classes are what keeps thrm poor, uneducated and malnourished, karma blames poor people's "past sins".

Instead of writing couldn't the person just masturbate? At least that way something good would actually cum of it.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
