Karma and Orginal Sin are mental devices to allow credulists to continue in a desired, lulling, love-condition while in worshipping mode toward a God-force they must believe is simultaneously all powerful, all knowing, and constitutionally benign.

I respectfully disagree about your view of karma. To me, karma explains that my past actions and thoughts account for a lot of my suffering. Not all of it, but at least some of it. A lot of suffering is caused because I wish for things to be different than they actually are - this suffering is caused by my thoughts. Even with physical problems, often the mental anguish associated with a physical ailment causes more suffering than the ailment itself. It is this mental suffering we create for ourselves. Please note that this does not in any way apply to those innocent infants that suffer horribly, as they have no control over their mental processes. For me, karma can not be used to explain their suffering.
