I may be mis-reading you, but you seem to be suggesting that karma is an economic balancing of good/ bad acts, and that sin is some absolutist, irrevocable act; but you also mention in the post directly above the notions of atonement, and it's pretty clear that the balancing of sins, relative to prayer and atonement, is a similar distribution of 'moral economies', if you will; similar, again, to anthropic evolutionary principles.
Also, you've read and emphasised only one aspect of the New Testament. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am saying that you're not entirely right. There's plenty in there about entering heaven through Christ alone. I don't necessarily agree with it (for two reasons: I don't agree with sola scriptura and my relationship to 'religious pluralism' is a huge and sprawling wreck at the moment), but using the Bible against itself or others is a pretty foolish enterprise, in my mind.
