[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 198750, member: 138"] In my many posts here on SPN, I have vehemently expressed that[B][I][U] Sikhi is NOT a religion[/U][/I][/B] but an[B][I][U] Idea Based way of Life. [/U][/I][/B] It is not a Belief System. It is not a Blind Faith which most of the religions are because their only answers for the intricacies of life are based on their respective mythologies, mechanical meaningless rituals, miracles,fairly tales, hence no questioning aloud. In the Abrahamic and many other religions, the real life starts after death because of the belief in Hell and Heaven. This is one more reason that no questioning is aloud. The only [B][I][U]answer[/U][/I][/B] to the [B][I][U]Whys?[/U][/I][/B] and [B][I][U]Hows?[/U][/I][/B] [B][I][U]questions is,[/U][/I][/B] [I][U][B]Because[/B][/U][/I]. One more important thing. Each of these religions claim that their's is the only way and their "god" is the only one. if one does not follow their ONLY god, then your destiny is already decided by these angry,vengeful gods and you are named as Unbeliever/Kafeer, the former by Christianity and the latter by Islam. This seems like a very insecure belief system based on blind faith.There are as many gods in the world as many minds in my opinion. This is the reason, I have insisted in my posts that as a matter of fact [B][I][U]there is no god in Sikhi.[/U][/I][/B] [B][I][U]Ik Ong Kaar is not god if we check how god is defined.[/U][/I][/B] Islam follows the belief in Hell and Heaven to the tee which is the main reason of the never ever ending conflicts between Islam itself and other religions of which we were the victims of it. The same thing is true in Christianity which was as violent as Islam is now 700 years ago because they had the head start of that time period. In fact, one can find murals of "heaven" in most of the Muslim countries to brain wash the followers On the other side, Sikhi is based on questioning and pragmatism, thanks to Guru Nanak rejecting to wear Janieo. It took Sikhi 200 years to evolve whereas all other religions started with one generation, as a result their subjective truths stopped there and then. This is the reason, Gurbani teaches us that there is [B][I][U]no Super Being, no Supernatural power[/U][/I][/B] but [B][I][U]Nature is Super[/U][/I][/B] and last but not the least, there is [B][I][U]no Absolute Truth but Truth is Absolute, [/U][/I][/B]hence fluid because [B][I][U]Truth never stops with the tick of the clock. It is the only constant that is ever changing. [/U][/I][/B] [B][I][U]The first Pauri of Jap teaches us that.[/U][/I][/B] Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
