Very sad that Tomoyo K misunderstood predestination as karma!There were three wrong views during the BUDDHA time:
1.the belief that everything is the result of acts in previous lives;
2.the belief that everything is the result of what is willed by a SUPREME CREATOR;
3.the belief that everything arises without reason or cause.
If a person becomes a murderer,a thief,or an adulterer,and ,if his or her actions are due to past actions,or are caused by the whim of a Supreme Being,or if it happened by mere chance,then this person could not be held responsible for his or her evil action as everything was predetermined.

I think so. It's some way of thinking that the universe rights all the wrongs. When I look back on my life I can see where I had good karma and bad karma. When my karma was bad it was because I wasn't leading my life the right way. When I am living life right and I am kind to others, it comes back to me two fold. Karma is a way of getting people to look at spirituality I think.

karma is not about belief or faith. no one needs to believe or have faith. karma is beyond this. karma mean deeds or acts or action.
for example, you try to lift 150 kg stone and it fell on your leg and crushed your leg. what do you say? it has got nothing to do with your past life. but what you did is foolish karma. when you know you are not in a postion lift something that heavy, you should not have atempted it. defying your own commonsense and logic got you into trouble. can you blame anyone for your that bad decision? karma is all that we do. consciously, unconsciously. i do not want to give any exotic explanation, since i assume that you are not well versed with the basic concept of karma. i think this will be enough for you to understand what karma can be or could be.
have a nice day!

In the realm of BELIEFS there is no "supposed to". We are free to believe anything and everything we like.
The case for Believing in Karma:
According to the Eastern school there are 3 types of action:
1. Karma = Pious action (good deeds)
2. Vikarma = Sinful action (evil deeds)
3. Akarma = Liberating action (spiritual deeds)
According the the Laws of Quantum Physics:
"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
Essentially this is the same premise behind the laws of karma. If you do good karma, then you get some good results or reward. If you do vikarma (bad) then you get some punishment. If you do akarma (spiritual development) then you come closer to God.
So karma and vikarma are actions that keep us bound and attached to this material world.
Conclusion:
Should we believe in Karma?
Yes we can. But we should take interest in going akarma for the salvation of our soul, unless we really want to remain bound to this material world. If we do, then karma is the best way to live, even though it is based on your personal happiness and not on God's. Hey, it's an option though!
God has given us free will to choose our path and destiny. Make your plan on how to please God and He will help you fulfill it. That's love and pure Akarma. Truly my cup of tea.
Hope it helps!

it extremely is. Karma is particularly misunderstood in the west. Karma is the sum of your strikes, which seems to be who you grow to be. To take an intense occasion: What while you're a drug broking and a junkie? what variety of people do you encompass your self with? you will in all probability have problems with the regulation, be around violent, unpredictable human beings most of the time, etc... So mutually as a drug broking could think of an entire life of crime will loose him of the restrictions of society, it is going to extremely deepen his enslavement and positioned across him to an atmosphere that isn't easy to flee. The thief's obsession with "not getting caught" in basic terms exhibits how deeply delusional those everyone seems to be - despite in the event that they don't get caught, they'll nevertheless finally end up refrained from via respectable human beings and terrified of authority - that's no thank you to stay and it extremely is an instantaneous effect of one's strikes. Now enable's say you scouse borrow something in basic terms as quickly as - will something undesirable ensue to you? perchance, perchance not. (The Buddha taught Karma grew to become into imponderable - i.e. you could not are looking forward to its consequences). yet in a feeling, something undesirable has already occurred to you - you have defiled your sense of right and incorrect and set down the path to starting to be a thief. And which could not bring about a competent life. So in short, Karma is reason and effect. Hindus and Buddhists ensue to have self belief it includes by way of many existences as nicely, yet reincarnation is likewise misunderstood in the west and which would be an entire different communicate.

As an example, when you do something bad to people until that person dies or humiliated because of something that person didn't do, Allah might whether sentence a on-earth punishment such as being humiliated on certain situation of maybe the after life punishment, that is whether being slash by a fire rope by Angels of being tied by super-iron chain that won't open....

no.
Karma in Hinduism and Buddhism, for example, is the inescapable destiny resulting from acts in a previous life.
When good things or bad things happen it is just the consequence of our previous action. Around the globe, millions believe that the cause of suffering is a person’s past; his present suffering is punishment for what he did in a past life. “Human suffering is due to our being bound in Karma, for all of us, as soon as we are born, carry a heavy burden of past Karma.” That view was offered by Daisetz T. Suzuki, a philosopher who popularized Zen in Western society. Hindu sages had devised “the law of Karma” as they groped to explain human suffering. But is their explanation of suffering reasonable or truly satisfying?
Our Creator does not promote or agree with teachings of Karma, rebirth cycles, or an immortal soul that may suffer in a later existence. Yet if we realize what the effects of Adam’s sin are, we can better understand why suffering exists today.the sin of our first human parents brought on the ultimate human tragedy—death. The Creator warned Adam: “In the day you [disobey, or sin] you will positively die.” (Genesis 2:17; 3:19) God said nothing about Adam’s having an immortal soul; he was a human. In Biblical terms this means that he was a soul. Thus, when he died, the soul named Adam died. He was not thereafter conscious or suffering.

Does it work for you ? Does an "it comes around, goes around" Universe make sense for you ?
For me, it works. It gives a reason for acting kind, compassionately, and to consider the impact my present actions may have on the future. I guess I don't know if it really exists, but the notion of it is enough to impact my actions for the better.
