Here is an example of Karma.
I purchased some liquor from the liquor store and was undercharged $50. I did not tell the cashier. My next stop was the grocery store.
I bought $35 worth of groceries. I locked my keys in the car. So I placed my groceries behind my car. An extra set of keys arrived and I drove off without my groceries. This was a payback.
Yes I do believe in Karma.+

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

I believe in karma and reincarnation (they go hand in hand). Karma is action or the result of actions (good or bad). Whatever karma (action) you create within a lifetime, you will live out the consequences in your subsequent lifetime(s). Karma is based upon the phenomena of cause and effect which denotes both action and reaction that extend through many lifetimes.
There are three types of karma: "agent-karma" which is concerned with the present cause and effect, and will influence future lives; "prarabdha-karma" which had already been caused and is in the process of being effected; and, "sanchita-karma" which has been accumulated but has not yet been effected.
The Bible mentions karma and reincarnation by "What ye sow, so shall ye reap."

I do not believe in Karma. The Bible does not teach Karma or Reincarnation.
Karma; In Hinduism, the total compilation of all a person's past lives and actions that result in the present condition of that person. Normally, it is associated with reincarnation.

I think its how relative certain things you do are, like if you cheat you will get cheated on (not always true but) becuase you probably dont trust the other half so your not really making that person feel wanted and somewhere along those lines someone else makes her feel wanted...so on. Karma is short for reactions to actions in intresting situations in my opinion.

I definitely believe in Karma. But most of the time I think that we create our own.

No I do not believe in karma. I believe that God is in control. He awards us and disciplines us as needed!

well, karma, i'd say it's the consequence of your actions, if you're bad, bad karma will accumulate, and you won't get a break...if you're not bad, good karma will accumulate, and you'll have good luck and good things will happen to you

I am a strong believer in karma, and what goes around comes around. if you are good you get good back, its really a matter if YOU believe it or not. We cant make your beliefs and values, so it really comes down to you. :)
