The law of karma is perfectly just
\nbecause it is perfectly natural and unbiased;
\nnot created or directed by any imperfect supernatural and biased lawmaker.<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> If karma exists to punish the evil and reward the good, who assigns karma? Shouldn’t there be God doing it?<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> Karma doesn\u2019t exist to do this or that, because it is a natural law without will \u2013 just like gravity for instance. We don\u2019t say gravity is assigned by anyone. It is naturally there for everyone; not unnaturally or supernaturally there only for some things or beings. Karma is natural because it operates like gravity for all. Just as gravity doesn\u2019t differentiate good or bad people, karma doesn\u2019t either. It is a law however, that evil deeds lead to suffering and good deeds lead to happiness.<\/p>\n

Based on the thinking that there \u2018must\u2019 be an assigner, if there is a God assigned to assign karma, there is the question of who assigned God to do it. If he needs no assigner, it is simpler to say nature is naturally there, with karma as one of nature\u2019s laws, with no assigner needed. It is thus more natural to see the idea of God as an assigner to be assigned by those who do not understand the above.<\/p>\n

If there is a good and almighty creator,
\nhe would not create or sustain any evil or suffering.
\nSince both are abundant, he does not exist.<\/p>\n
