we just believe in personal responsibility for the Karma we create for ourselves. There is no such thing as good Karma, all Karma is pretty much bad (sin?). It is a debt you create and carry. I believe in reincarnation

Correct me if I am wrong, the reason Buddha set out on his spiritual quest was to find a way to break the hell of Hindu karma. The final goal of his new religion was to achieve "nothingness" in order to end the karma nightmare.

Why would you want burdens like this for your life? Christ has already given you the break-through from karma and its burden free.

Thank you, I cannot argue with a word you say.

I’m certainly no expert on Hinduism but to me Siddarth was saying nothingness means not creating any new Karma. No mortal man can do that. Maybe Jesus could live that way, but a man cannot.

I’m not trying to convert anybody here, I’m just ranting about my own thoughts and faith.

Maybe I suck at religious expression. Some of us just use different definitions.
