    Christianity Christianity And Sikhism

    I am a Christian who finds the words of the Sikh Gurus to be extremely profound and wise. I didn't know the difference between a Sikh wearing a turban and a Muslim untill after 9/11 and several Sikhs were harrased in my comunity. After reading up on Sikhism and the beliefs you hold I have...

    Sikh News Teen Faces Hate Charge In Sikh Haircutting (UPI)

    The accused sister broke up a news conference held by the Sikh community and said the boy asked to have his hair cut. I'm not a Sikh and am wondering if there has been tension between Islam and Sikhism in the past? I've always seen Sikh's as live and let live as long as you don't keep them...

    Christianity Why Do I Believe In Jesus? An Ex-sikhs Journey In Faith

    You seem to be so very full of anger. You don't seem to be able to serperate people and bunch them all into one catagory. From what I read of your posts you believe that if mainstream Christians act a certain way then they all Christians act that way. This is a wrong way to believe. The...

    Christianity Why Do I Believe In Jesus? An Ex-sikhs Journey In Faith

    For some reason you have decided to become semi hostile towards me and the post I made. You quoted the parts you didn't like but seemed not read or care about the parts where I said that Sikh Gurus were very wise and should be respected. I don't like the "Militant" Christian Missionarys who...

    Answer Evil With Goodness !

    The turn the other cheek in the Bible is amazingly overused by people as an example of contridiction. It's used as a metaphor. Someone slapping your face isn't gonna hurt you that bad so just give them the other one to slap as well. It's over with and you can move on. The person doing it...

    Christianity Why Do I Believe In Jesus? An Ex-sikhs Journey In Faith

    I am a Christian by choice because of faith and other personal reasons. When I was a "baby" christian I had many ill concieved notions about Christ and the Bible. What I found was that many practicing Christians go by the traditions of men and not the traditions of what Christ was about...

    Sikhism And Homosexuality

    Interesting topic. From the christian p.o.v. homosextuality is looked down upon. It's looked upon as a sin and you should try to keep from doing all sin no matter how you feel about it. Of course you may be weak at times and still sin but you keep trying your best and continue on through...

    Using Faith To Validate Extremism

    I think the problem with many christians is that they go by traditions instead of the bible. There are many denominations in christianity each one believeing differently than the other on many major things. Many take one line or passage out of context without even reading the other verses...

    Feel Bad About Aftermath Of 911

    As a Christian I am truly sorry for the any of the hardships that Sikhs were shown. There was a case here in Northern California where a Sikh man was harrased because he wore a turban. A true Chirstian should have spoken up and sent support to the man and his family but I never did. It's true...
