you know this world has some rules , some rules are general and they show themselves in different manifestations:
it is a rle in physics that when you hit a wall the wall make an equal force in the opposite direction , in other words when you do the action you will get the consequence,
if you work out you will build muscles
if you study hard and put passion in it you will become educated
if you plant an apple seed you will get an apple tree
if you do not brush your teeth will hurt after a while
and . ... .. .. .. . ..
If A then B
this is a rule which show itself to us here and there
if we read betweeen the line.
so are you saying that being good and following the truth and trying to be righteous(and sometimes it can be very hard) will have no consequense??????????
if A then ?(nothing)
or being really bad and selfish will have no fruit of consequence
if Z then ?(nothing)

Congratulations! That's a very interesting way to argue that wishful thinking isn't wishful.

Wow, this is some crazy logic here.
If a monkey attacks an kills a human, does it go to hell? If it saves a human that fell into a zoo cage, does it go to heaven? See where I'm going? Humans are no different. There is no "rule" that says that if you give away all your money and spend your entire life helping the poor that you will be rewarded in the afterlife.
This is unbelievable. There is no afterlife.
If you plant an apple seed, sometimes you get no apple tree.
If you brush your teeth everyday, sometimes your teeth will hurt anyway.
Get it?
Rules of physics BY DEFINITION do not work in metaphysics.
Whew...

You are equating the laws of physics with moral teachings of a specific religion, and they are incomparable. Physical laws are measurable and comfirmable. Spiritual thinking in your example is speculative and based entirely on non-observable, faith-based nonsense.
There is no life after death, and the only consequences for your actions are those you experience here, and many times they are not just. Some people get away with murder, stealing, lying, or cheating and prosper. Some people live upright lives and suffer and die painful deaths.
Thinking that what you do gets a spiritual consequence is magical thinking, akin to believing the magician made the ace of spades appear out of the deck. Believe it if you want, but I believe you are living a self-deception.

But isn't what constitutes good behavior and what constitutes bad behavior totally subjective? Many people in Muslim countries believe that the actions of our nation's government are evil. But here in the United States, the consensus is that Islamists are the bad guys. So there's some subjectivity as to what constitutes good behavior or bad behavior. Also, doesn't motivation count for anything? I mean, if you're just being good to receive a reward when otherwise you'd behave poorly, why should that be rewarded?

Irrational rubbish. >> "so are you saying that being reliable and following the reality and attempting to be righteous(and often that is totally perplexing) will haven't any consequense??????????" << specific, there are effects. once you're constructive and get alongside with human beings, issues will in all probability be much less complicated. once you're an entire dick to anybody you meet, you will in all probability have a coarse pass of it. then you definately die. the tip. You dedicate a fallacy of equivocation via invoking A->B, then attempting to coach this to existence after dying. you're speaking approximately 2 diverse definitions of result, yet attempting to cover the latter because of fact the former.

The universe cares nothing for our morals. "Good" and "bad" are purely human concoctions; they are not natural phenomena.
Your actions will always have consequences.
Those consequences are mechanistic in nature; the universe itself doesn't have any rules with regards to good and bad, and will not reward or punish you for your behavior. The only consequences are those that you can easily forsee.
If you treat other people nicely, they'll treat you nicely.
If you treat other people poorly, they'll treat you poorly.
(generally speaking, of course)
That's just how humans interact with each other; it has nothing to do with cosmic forces or universal laws.
As an aside, isn't it rather arrogant to believe that you, of all things, warrant the attention of grand, cosmic powers? Compared to the rest of the universe, you're largely insignificant. You're less important than a single grain of sand is to a beach.

If you are referring to religion as far as hell or heaven I think Buddhism makes more sense, your energy stays here it doesn't go to some magical place like the North Pole with Santa but it is transformed into another type of energy perhaps grass or a flower.

nice job making a direct parallel between the physical laws of nature and physics, and an interpretation of spirtuality.
you guys really crack me up.
try this physical law: the noah's ark story in the buybull? it would have been necessary to build something twice the size of one aircraft carrier OUT OF UNMILLED WOOD to do what the story says it did. let's try to get real...GO GET an EDUCATION!

I believe in karma. Since you can't predict the future, who knows which of the strokes of luck are due to that time that the person did good.
