lightgigantic and traveling light, it seems that whenever I talk about unfariness of shit in life in this life, you guys always seem to off on a tangeant about something else after life (i.e. rebirth, heaven, hell...). Such thing requires belief in another spiritual realm.
And alright, for the sake of argument, let's say there is.
That makes God even a more a being to hate. Who gave him the right to judge? Why should he be able to decide if a person who committed a crime in a finite life receive an infinite punishment for eternity or even eternal rebirths back into the world? Why should he be allowed to judge on the basis of our life in this world, when he didn't even give us moral standards or criteria to follow, or if he did, then why not make it available to everyone so eveyone would know the consequences of their actions, why make his instructions absent in North America until 1500s, Africa until early 20th century, most of ASia until early 18th century, and Australia until 1900s? Is such judgment fair? I mean, yeah, you're a murderer in this life, but does that deserve an ETERNAL torment?
And as for karma... google Mobutu. Where was karma for him? he didn't reap what he sowed. he reaped what he didn't sow. On the other spectrum, look up Squanto. He also didn't reap what he sowed. And usually in life, such instances are the norm, not the exception. Stuff like Enron scandal doesn't happen that often.

Is it necessary that a person who performs a sinful reaction to receive an immediate reaction for it?
For actual karma to exist, yes. Oh, fuck yes. Otherwise, it's not karma, it's just some judgment far off in the future after your death, after a really good long and prosperous life. But man, admit it, hell probably doesn't exist. If it does, that really proves what kind of sadistic freak God is, creating beings he supposedly loves only to send them hell.
And no, viruses existed first. Single cell organism has existed first. Always. And virus is one form of being that has proven by scientist in 2001 that can be produced from non-life forms the easiest and fastest. It doesn't need human interaction to be made. it needs hosts to propate and spread but for the initial creation, not neccessarily.
As for sinful action or whatever causing problems for humanity... I don't like to use the word sin, but if you're referring to the innate desire of human beings to be just horrible, then yes, you're partly right. People can be made bad, and people can be made good. Hutu Rwandans manipulated to commit genocide against Tutsi Rwandans were made bad and caused millions of innocent people to die and the ending situation caused plagues and diseases and whatnot, but you have to understand hate, racism, bigotry, ethnocentrism are all nothing but social constructs. You can't blame people for being born in that situation. You can blame humanity in general but not those born in those situations.
But beyond that, human actions could not have influenced the planet that enough to cause such great earthquakes and whatnot. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions have been happening since this world was born, even before humans. LIke I said, why do you think so many species of animals, including dinosaurs, are extinct now? Was that all humans?
let's add in a new question to the argument. If God indeed is part of this world, created it, and takes part in it (answering prayers), then how can you explain the reason why God allowed more than one version of scriptures to be created? And even in singular versions (i.e. Bible, Quaran), his messages are so open to interpretation that so many religious sects and cults form and ultimately wage war against each other? If God was so nice as you say he is, then why make things so ambiguous that human beings kill each other mercilessly for generations and generations? Was God bored and wanted to watch a war movie? Did he think that he was being creative? Explain this for me.
