I have always wonder at the way some people do thinks when it comes to issues about God, To so many, God is a Spirit, to others, God is embedded in man, in one Believe, God is all things animate or inanimate, in other God is what you make out for yourself, and bring yourself in submittion to. But to the atheist who outrightly denied the existence of God, yet acknowledged a karma to caught up with anyone who do wrong.
What/who is this Karma If not God who recompense everyone according to their deeds.

I'm an atheist

okay, I seriously doubt there's an atheist who really believes in karma in the strictest sense of the word

what people regards as "karma" is an attempt to put an order into where there's most likely none

eg out of thousands of pickpockets, one, two or more would get caught in the act and be beaten to stupor, such thieves caught are said to have been affected by the law of karma instead of just bad luck afterall there are thousands of pickpockets that would not get caught and if karma were so valid, it should have affected all pickpockets

however experience has shown that people around you keep track of the good deeds you do for them consciously or unconsciously

so if you're someone who goes around making the lives of people around you unhappy and miserable it might comeback to you in certain unexpected ways

if people regard you as unhelpful, killjoy etc; they would seek to repay you back sometime down the line or someone related to them who doesn't know much about you may be used by those people whom you've inflicted bad things on into repaying you back in your (probably worse than your) coin

There is no such thing as Karma beside Karma is just an idea not a thing . . .So an atheist who thinks it works doesn't mean he is not an atheist.

Karma is an idea not a who - and it is quite nonsensical.

An atheist can believe in Karma it doesn't make him less an atheist .. So it is wrong to say "Atheist don't believe in Karma" Rather it should have been "I don't believe in Karma"

Besides there is no set of things an atheist should or not believe - the only definition is "Disbelief in God(s)" you can believe in fairies, big foot, spirits, witches, karma it doesn't mean anything.

To every action there Is an equal or opposite Reaction is that Not what karma means? Doesn't it obey physics laws?

I don't believe in karma or the idea, but I have met/heard many atheist who fondly used this word in letter and in words. It just raise a question in me, if this people who denied the existence of God, but embraced the idea Karma. What did they said of it? Are they not invariablyinvariably testifies that is one greater than Man, able to judge and recompense every man according to his deeds?

Then they aren't 'atheists' in the strictest sense of the word. My understanding of Karmic Justice involves the supernatural. An atheist denies the supernatural.
