Even the trinity is bound by the laws of karma... create the Devil in its "wicked" nature, expect a Rebellion to form, how can he not know?... Also Jesus himself taught the doctrine of karma, "You sow as you reap." - paraphrased from the Bible
Karma: Put your hand in fire, you get burnt. ( every action has a RE-action.... it may be instant... it may be delayed. Vengence is also an instance of karma that has grown beyond logical view )

Yea I do. I'm buddhist.
Karma is the consequences of what you do. And it will be with you all the time waiting the time it will come out maybe this life or next life...it's just like the feedback.
There are 2 kind of karmas--good and bad
Good karma is the consequence of what you do good e.g. if you donate something to someone, but when it's time for you need something, you will get it back from someone else.
Bad karma is the consequence of what you do bad e.g. if you cheat on someone, the one who you are with might cheat you to someone else.
Every bad or good situation you're facing now or in the past or in the future, are the results of what you did before...but you just don't notice it....ok I'll make you clear about this, have you ever wondered why some people are born as the disables? It was because of the result of the karma they had done in the past. I don't know if you believe it. But it's real.

What some call "bad karma" is a restoration of balance, putting light in your soul where darkness had clouded your thinking. Karma is about obtaining wisdom. All karma is ultimately good, because all karma presents an opportunity to gain new wisdom.
Only fools and children believe in punishment for punishment's sake.

In simplistic terms; you reap what you sow. Karma is a very complex theological understanding. It is believed that Karma is the cause and effect for everything in the universe. As above so below; macrocosm and microcosm. The governing factor for every lesson learned on every plane of existence.

Well if you ask me, living in this great country, Karma makes no sense - how does one go from homeless to millionaire to homeless to ... ad infinitum in one lifetime.
On a more serious note, Karma is a trick doctrine of the devil. It helps dehumanize those who appear to have "bad" karma because of their circumstances. In Hindu society it has been used to justify a caste system and "you are getting what you deserve kind of mentality", so people of lower castes are dehumanized as deserving of bad karma. And Satan laughs.
It is a counterfeit of the truth that you will be judged for your deeds but your circumstances of birth and life do not betray your so-called "karma" on earth.

Karma literally means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction which governs all life. Karma is not fate, for man acts with free will creating his own destiny. According to the Vedas, if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concomitant reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determines our future. The conquest of karma lies in intelligent action and dispassionate reaction. Not all karma rebounds immediately. Some accumulate and return unexpectedly in this or other births.
It is considered to be a spiritually originated law that cannot be abrogated by any person but can be mitigated by God in Hinduism. Karma is not punishment or retribution, but simply an extended expression of natural acts. The effects experienced are also able to be mitigated by actions and are not necessarily fateful. That is to say, a particular action now doesn't bind you to some particular, pre-determined future experience or reaction; it's not a simple, one-to-one correspondence of reward / punishment.

I don't know about Karma, but I do believe you reap what you sow, which in a sense is karma.

Just my opinion-
Karma is a universal truth. Every religion in the world believes we pay for what we do. Sometimes it takes awhile, but it you always pay somehow.

I believe we each make our own 'Karma'. Everything we do results in something else happening down the line. To me, that is Karma. It is neither good, nor bad, it just is. We made it for ourselves.
