U didn't show anything. U just showed theres no evidence of that.
U mean i showed there is no record of the Buddha teaching it?
Yes. I am sure nobody here will dispute your iron clad logic that there was no record of the Buddha teaching about people being born in Africa.

Is it being implied above that Jews born in Nazi Germany deserved or were predestined to their fate due to kamma those Jews made in past lives? If this is true, why was it wise to build atomic bombs if the Nazis were like Lord Yama's wardens dispensing justice? Sorry, but I struggle to understand the ideas above. Exactly what type of kamma did those Jews make in past lives that lead them to rebirth in Nazi Germany? If that past kamma was bad kamma then why did the Nazis do wrong deeds in the Holocaust? Did the Buddha teach it was wrong to punish people & to go to hell for bad kamma? I am just struggling to distinguish between the "good" and the "evil" above. Did those Jews deserve their rebirth in Germany due to their past kamma? If so, why was what happened in that rebirth in Germany wrong or different to the kammic inheritance in
MN 130?
Okay first the Hitler reincarnation thing and now this? Where do you even get these wacky "meanings" that you like to put into other ppls mouths?
Events are the result of kamma, as seen when the Sakyas were invaded and MahaMogallana tried to intervene, but his psychic powers were rendered useless since kamma surpasses even psychic abilities and whatever mystics there are in the world or whatever. I am not enlightened so i do not know what those particular Jews did and im confident that you will proudly show that there is no record of the Buddha teaching about the Jews, as if that was some kind of a debate anyways. But if im not mistaken i think theres another thread on kamma being "recycled" when ppl do bad things to another person, maybe someone can be so kind as to put the link here. I do recall the kamma of maha moggallana killing his parents in a past life and thus being killed by bandits, who in turn created kamma for themselves something like that. So the king yama thing is ridiculous.
I am not going to sit here and answer all your questions since it seems likely you will put a bunch more wacko meanings into my comments that come from nowhere. I just want to be able to convey my thoughts and opinions on a subject without having my comments talked down upon or forced to submit to "rules" on what i can talk about by people who are not an admin or even the OP but acts as if they own the thread and have the right to say which responses are allowed.
