I believe in miracles, karma, magic, etc. for those things that cannot be explained. But these words are not readily accepted today. They are scoffed at, laughed at and you are mocked for even saying them.
We have words to describe what we cannot explain. These are the accepted words.
coincidence
synchronicity
serendipity
Think about it. Did miracles stop when the Bible was frozen in content ?
I don't think so. We just stopped writing about them.
Why haven't you?------The Power Mojo I put on you (and others) that compels you to discuss God & Religion every day...that's why. But, do not despair...there is very little you could contemplate and discuss more meaningful than God & Religion. Carry on. Not that you could stop.

I'm not sure that's true for karma, although I think most people misunderstand karma.
KARMA - The totality of a person's actions and conduct during successive incarnations, regarded as causally influencing his or her destiny.
In another sense, your intrinsic "vibration" combined with "like attracts like" tends to steer "good" to those who are intrinsically "good," while the opposite occurs for those who are not good. Likewise, associations in the other realm are bound by that same rule. Thus an evil being would be unable to approach that which is intrinsically good, despite their intense desire to do so. Eternal exclusion from that great spirit could be construed to be damnation, too.
"When a pickpocket meets a saint, all he sees are the pockets..."
God has unambiguously revealed Himself to us, yet many people choose to either ignore it or make up creative alternate explanations. I would call this a problem because it's important for mankind to recognize his place in the cosmos.
Some people believe that karma is a system of cosmic justice. The problem with that is that sometimes, perhaps even often, the justice part never actually happens. Instead it's pretty simply that usually if you do good things it is more likely that you will benefit from those actions, while if you do bad things you will eventually pay a price.
I spent a couple of years on a pretty good Buddhist forum (newbuddhist.com). Trying to figure out karma was one of the most discussed topics. But those who try to say karma is that cosmic justice thing...they're just unable to break away from the god metes out justice concept of christianity. Well, in Buddhism there is not a creator god and Buddhism is not a commandment-based belief-system.
