Karma Chameleon

by SloshedAndVexed @ 2008-05-31 - 16:44:14

Sharon Stone opined  that China's recent devastating earthquakes are 'karma' for its governments policy on Tibet ;
If she means in our lifetimes she misunderstands Karma , which is said to relate to our future and past incarnations .
We're all capapble of daft , offensive , regrettable , unthought out comments , and Ms Stone has made a full public apology , and donated to the earthquake fund .
But why only Tibet ? 
It's well known that China , who executes more of its citizens each year than do all other countries combined  has an appalling lack of regard for human rights , as well as for  animals .
I've heard someone suggest that mass-casualty , force of nature disasters are somehow 'God's' way of retributing against human materialism and greed , which is offensive and stupid  and invites the obvious , incredulous response that : So how come these disasters almost entirely hit some of the poorest people on this planet  ?
If 'God' maliciously  punishes  the poor for the 'sins' of the rich then I have no faith in him , to whatever extent 'he' may exist , but of course that's an entirely nonsensical notion , thought up by people who like to 'play god' , with their weird interpretations of his whims reduced to a psuedo-intellectual , ridiculous  'parlour game' .
