Even casually religious people will see X or Y good thing happening as a sign from God, or "the universe" or "good luck."
Well folks, shit like this happening is also a sign from God or "the universe" or "bad luck". You reap what you sow. "Whatever evil you do comes back to you 3 times true," or "bad karma" etc. etc.
You can obtain forgiveness if you ask, but the temporal punishments of sin still must be borne by you.
I don't believe in karma, because there are major ethical complications when you think about it for about 5 minutes.
Point I'm trying to make is that people think God is never punishes sin, and part of that mentality is looking at good things that happen as God's will, or karma, or luck, or fate, or whatever, but never the reverse.

Do you believe in karma?
I don't.
I see good things happen to bad people and terrible things happen to innocent children.

Yep.
God punished Dodgers by flooding their stadium!
But GOD gave this innocent five year old boy who just loves his mommy and daddy inoperable brain tumor with only 3 months to live! Karma!
Maybe he shouldn’t have been a shit in his last life.
