What does Dogma mean?...Dogma and Carma... explain the differences...please... much too lazy to google it...or consult a dictionary... thanks!
I'm too lazy to look at up at the moment either, but there's a good question in the 'religion' section on 'what is karma?', so I suggest you look up the answers there.
Dogma is different. It can be Christian but not always. It's about being 'dogmatic' about things: 'You must believe this because I say it's true'. It has a bad name but of course sometimes some things just are true! But it's often used to stop people thinking for themselves.
Old hippy bumper sticker: 'I'm sorry, man - my karma just ran over your dogma...'
(I'm happy to be the first to get in with that pleasing old joke.)
dog·ma (dôg'mə, dŏg'-) n., pl. -mas or -ma·ta (-mə-tə).
A doctrine or a corpus of doctrines relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth in an authoritative manner by a church.
An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true. See synonyms at doctrine.
A principle or belief or a group of them: “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present” (Abraham Lincoln).
Um... dogma is christian. and karma is if you do bad stuff bad stuff will happen to you but its not any religion at all. watch the movie dogma, its awesome.
oh my goodness. I had that bumper sticker on my car. it was totaled in a wreck. lol. it was right next to my "stop apartheid" sticker.
