Back to the question at hand.
Karma is a totally rational belief. However if one is Christian one cannot accept it because it presupposes reincarnation.
Reincarnation/Karma cannot exist in Christianity because Christians MUST believe that 1) God is judge 2) I have only one soul. Now because Christians believe that Jesus when he returns will resurrect the righteous that means I can only be resurrected once. Ressurrection and reincarnation are not one in the same.
Likewise Karma believes in a cyclical universe. Thus far science has shown our universe to not be cyclical and instead expanding from one point in time. That is why I personally do not believe in karma or a religion that presupposes a cyclical universe.
