I'm totally not looking at it from a strictly religious standpoint. I lumped karma in with luck/fate/religion/etc. I guess I didn't stress that enough above.
Superstitions. Systems of belief used to explain why X happens, systems of belief used to justify right and wrong as a way to create stability.
The problem with these types of things is that there is no magnetic north. We don't have even a semi fixed universal indicator of karmic direction.

That and I find it hilarious that materialistic white people on the Internet are acting snobby about the philosophy of emptiness.
