Why can't teens explain to "religious" teens about the laws of Karma

[Maraya1969]

when they bully, (or to use Biblical terms, "judge not least ye be judged).

Plenty of children are born in families that teach, (it is their "religion"), their children this and they can teach it to the ones that are bullying the gay kids.

That might make them re-write the law. It might kill 2 birds with one stone.

1. You explain that to a bully

Report back how well it works...

[Maraya1969]

4. I am more thinking of explaining it to some fundamentalist who thinks

he has a right to talk down about gays because the bible says so. Why can't you mention that your religion states that every time you hurt another person that hurt will come back to you 10 fold? Scare the pants off the little bugger.

2. You could try

But beating your head against a brick wall would be more productive.

[Maraya1969]

5. I am trying to be PC about this and it is not working. Let me put it this way.

I had a lover years ago and her daughter would rip me apart with the things she said. This went on for a long time and I never said anything to defend myself and neither did anyone else, (I probably felt guilty and the others....who knows). But one time I thought about how I could get her to stop and I decided to do the very same thing to her that she did to me. In front of a group of mostly family I embarrassed her the same way she embarrassed me many times before. No one said anything. And that was the last time she ever pulled that one on me again. It was over. Just like that.

So I realized that giving a person a taste of what they are serving can be very helpful at times.

I guess that is what I am trying to apply here. I don't want to come out and suggest a younger person say, "You know, psychiatrists say that the more you fight and bully gays the more you bring on homosexual tendencies toward yourself", but if someone else said that I would understand the need to say it.

3. Karma is also a religious concept, not a natural law.

So you have a Hindu religious idea dealing with reincarnation being rejected by other religions. No surprise there.

[Maraya1969]

6. A lot of people have a fear of karma even if they are not Hindu.

And their are bible verses that point toward Karmic laws such as "judge not least ye be judged"
