A Hypothetical Example of Reincarnation

[jason_m]

Suppose someone was a Nazi during the holocaust. They then reincarnate. Because of what they did in a past life, they are treated like a holocaust Jew in today's society. However, they are raised Christian and don't believe in Karma. To someone who believes in reincarnation, this is justice. However, I will tell you why it isn't:

- The Jews in Nazi Germany were not evil.
- This person was.

However, in this new scenario:
- This person is not evil.
- The people ostracizing this person are evil.

The problem:
- The person being ostracized does not believe in karma.

Therefore:
- A score has therefore not been settled, because the person doesn't believe in karma at all.
- Justice has not been served, because both groups of evil people are just as bad the other. All that has happened then is that the Jews are now like Nazis and the Nazis are now like the Jews. Both groups of evil people then are on the wrong side, and if there was justice in this type of scenario, this would not be the case.

The bottom line:
- The people now doing the ostracizing are just as bad as the Nazis. Hence, it's just as wrong.

I want to hear your opinion. Give any insights you have...
