Or there weren’t any payments made or received, and life just has its random ups and downs.

No it would be reality. Life has its ups and down. We see evidence for that every day. On the other hand, we see no evidence for karma or reincarnation. So we should disbelieve in those concepts pending demonstrable evidence. Don’t hold your breath...

Unfortunately, you are still here. That means, bill is not paid in full and you are not progressed. Yet.

Do believe only in a present-life version of karma, or do you also believe in karma as related to reincarnation?

I believe in the cause-and-effect version of karma during the current life.
I remain open-minded -- but not very -- about it extending over multiple lives, which I am not totally convinced occurs anyway.

Do you believe that it exists? Does religion have a part in said belief? If you do believe in reincarnation, what is the basis for that belief?







I don’t believe it exists....IMO it kinda seems like a way to wishful think that there was more life coming...like ppl think about heaven. IMO when you die...you die. So...live & love now.

Your body dies. You are not your body and your body is not you.
