My Reasons are as follows:
1. The Guru Granth Sahib ji was penned by the Guru's and not by disciples, many years later.
2. Sikhism is a non-missionary faith that does not believe in converting other and disrespecting other people beliefs.
3. Sikhism concepts of Langaar (Communal Kitchen), Wandh Chakna, and the Chardi Kalan Spirit.
4. "Higher than Truth is Truthful Living". No point just talking about the truth unless one is prepared to live it.
5. Defending the poor and weak, no matter what their religion, colour, creed.
6. Standing up for Justice, Freedom, and Equality.
7. Sikh women can and have for last 300 to 400 years taken Sikh congregations wheras Christians still argue about female priests.
8. The concept of Gurmatta or mutual consent, which is a democratic principle. Christianity has no such principle.
9. God does not take human form, but rather God is in each and every one of us. It is up to each and every one of us to realise God.
10. Sikhism respects, Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, Ram etc on an equal footing.
11. Believe in the life of a householder and not one of a recluse or a Nun or Priest.
Can anyone else add more to this? |
I think I can add little more
12.Sikhism is based on the teachings of the ten Gurus contained in Guru Granth Sahib while Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ regarded as the Son of God contained in the Bible.
13.Christianity is the largest religion in the world with Sikhism being the fifth.
14Sikhs regard God as shapeless, timeless and sightless while Christians regard Jesus as the God.
15.Sikhs need to follow a very strict code regarding the five necessary items to be worn at all times, however, no such code exists in Christians.
16.Sikhs try to attain salvation through balancing work, worship and charity while the Christians try to do this by following the teachings of Jesus from the Bible.
17. Meditation Sikhs believe that meditation on the Guru Granth Sahib draws them closer to God; it cleanses a person from sin and instills godly qualities in him. They see it as ameans of salivation.
Christians do not believe that meditation can set anyone
free from sin but do value it as way of
drawing closer to God, hearing his voice
and discerning his will. 18. Sikh Mean Learning every second of your life Gurfateh. BMandur
