Karma is no more like sin than it is like grace. It is not a punishment or
reward. It is neither "good" nor "bad". Your blithe acceptance that karma
works "over many lifetimes" is just another untestable claim based on your
irrational religious beliefs.

Breathing binds us to the "material plane". Breathing is karma to the
extent that it is something we feel obligated to do in order to keep living.
There is no "karmic debt" and no "karmic surplus". It is not "stored".
