I don't think you understand what I mean by karma. It's not a magic force. It's the simple concept of cause and effect. Simply believing in doing good things for no reason is illogical, and not much different than the reasoning in having blind faith in religion. And even if you have no problems simply doing good for no reason at all, there will be others who cannot latch on to that reasoning, and thus karma is a practical reason for doing good that everyone can latch on to.
Think butterfly effect. That's what karma is. You do something nice it WILL have an effect, even if really small. However these small things will add up. If you're an asshole, I don't care how smart you are, given time = infinity you won't be able to keep it up forever, and the longer you persist the harder it will be to maintain your ass-holeness without retribution. You do something nice to someone else they will be nicer. And if you reason it out, then if you do nice things to everyone, and everyone you do nice things to does the same thing, then it will exponentially spread. It will counteract the people who spread bad things in the same way. But eventually it comes back to you right?
