Ell, I was actually talking doctrine in response to Desc. I wasn't being a hippie!
I know
but really
karma as a metaphysical concept can be basically boiled down to "stuff you think/do"
anything beyond that depends entirely on the respective framework
so you can't actually say "stuff you think/do" in a metaphysical sense is incompatible with christian faiths.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I believe the entire discussion is about the frameworks. Christianity doesn't accept the concept of karma in the sense of cosmic redistributive justice.
This is still a problematic view of karma though. It's not redistributed in any sort of discerning way.
I don't think I did a good job explaining last time, but they are not compatible for this reason:
Once you have accepted Jesus as your savior you are forgiven your sins. Even if you continue to sin, so long as you are a believer you go to heaven.
Karma, as formulated in religions like Buddhism, is the cycle of cause and effect. Every action participates in this, and to enter this cycle is to cause suffering. Some sects of Buddhism believe that this concept is tied to reincarnation and that when one has finished working through their karma they cease to be reincarnated.
In Christianity, you have one shot to spend eternity in Heavel or Hell. In any Karmic-belief system, you have many.
are you cooking a dry-ish curry or a wet one, abdh?
Think he is making a chili not a curry.
I call it chili because I used beans in "chili sauce"
started with onion in oil, then threw in some ground beef to fry, with a dollop of curry paste to fry it in like you do with tomato purée when making tomato soup
then a little sambal oelek - which is a jar I have - and when it's all fried good down there I put in a can of tomatoes and the celeriac, chop some garlic and a chilli, threw them in, open the can of chili beans (with the can-opener on my leatherman and not the scissors like yesterday) and pour that in
mix it all good while I put more pepper, thyme and finally a pinch of salt after it's boiled in some.

Guys is there a standard go-to service for running something like a small, open webforum? Invite-only would be ideal.
I have a group of 500-700 people that are going to use it for coordinating service projects and as a kind of craigslist thing
Just about every major shared hosting plan will provide a turnkey install of forum software which you can then configure to disallow public registration or public viewing of posts.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
also did you go away before I had a kid? cause I have a kid
I remember you were going to have a kid, but I didn't want to be THAT GUY and be the first to bring it up cuz these things are never really certain until it pops out.

facebook, with all the clunkiness that entails, seems common now
Well it's currently a Facebook group, but:
-The purpose of the board is somewhat tertiary to the primary purpose of the group, which is an artist/musician community of sorts
-Lots of notifications about specific projects or people trading materials could be bothersome and cause people miss notifications that are more group-centric

it's so big! oh man
also did you go away before I had a kid? cause I have a kid
you're not allowed to, like, actually test this though
christianity has some weird "so don't think about it" catch-alls
(4s = loaf of bread, 5 = knife)
I remember you were going to have a kid, but I didn't want to be THAT GUY and be the first to bring it up cuz these things are never really certain until it pops out.
So... woohoo! Late congrats!
I just hid in my house and ignored the knocking.
