if one has faith, one doesn't need 'evidence'. 

You’ve sort of hit the nail on the head here regarding why use of faith to accept something as true is so terribly and childishly misguided

What evidence is that?  Karma is built on a couple premises - one, that we reincarnate, and two, that the universe has some means of recording all our actions, assessing their causal impact and calibrating our future life experiences in accordance with them to impart justice and moral growth.  If you have evidence of this, I'm prepared to be gobsmacked.   

 

Karma is intended to make people feel better about forgiving other peoples mistake's, Socrates' premis seems more realistic...

At Apology 30c7–e1, Socrates cautions his jurors about the risk they face. The risk Socrates himself faces is obvious but, as he explains it, the danger he faces is far less grave than the one the jurors may inflict upon themselves:

Now, the claim that trying to kill a man unjustly is a greater evil than being killed unjustly may seem simply obvious from a moral point of view.

You do if you want to make assertions about anything here, because we don't trust what you say just because you say it.

I have evidence for my words. 

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 

So, I think that faith is the evidence itself.

You're wrong, but I think you know that bc god moves in mysterious ways, which is self-evidence itself... 🤣

I don't trust Iron Age writings any more than I trust what you say. Your reasoning is circular & ridiculous.

So wrong. Don't ever try that argument here again. Preaching is against the rules.
