If it’s far beyond your reasoning, how did you come to the conclusion God smote all those people over Erdogan being a jerk about Sweden and Finland joining NATO?

Yes, if you are a Christian, borrowing the concept of Karma from Buddhism is a bad (and stupid) thing — unless you are one of those make-up-your-own-religion-to-suit-your-fancy New Ager types. Then any old mishmash goes.

Christianity is all about redemption. Not so Karma. Read your C.S. Lewis (if you think you are Christian rather than New Age). He explained it well. The wheel of Karma can never be broken, just goes on and on. Think about it.

You contradict yourself a lot in that post. You do realize that?

No. But trying to know God is like the fable of the blind men trying to describe an elephant.
