 From a purely theological perspective, throwing these terms
around like there is no tomorrow is way more complex than
you seem to appreciate.

The problem with "karma" and I hate the term, just as
"rewards in the next life" which is even more odious in my
view; is that they talk about effecting a change in future
conditions for which there is no proven link.

Surely the real reason for doing the right thing cannot
be that it pleases whoever, but just because it is the
right thing. I forget which of Plato's dialogues explored
this theme, but really, just fuck the gods, fuck the
consequences, and just do what is right.
