[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 136168, member: 12855"] [COLOR=Navy]Caspian Ji, From your writing seems to me that you are too hung up on what people think. You are a follower rather than a thinker. Right now religion is not fashionable so you refuse to follow. If you were born in the Guru's time you probably would be a follower as that is what everyone around you would be doing. Sorry if I'm wrong, but that is my observation from reading your writings across the forum. By worrying too much about outsiders opinions you are hampering your own spiritual growth only, not affecting anyone else. By caring so much about what others will think if you become religious, you are closing your mind. That is fine if it works for you but it is not fine to impose that on others by looking for discrepancies. Bear with me as I get some more thoughts down based on your answers. You seem to love to try and find discrepancies! Shows your insecurity but thats ok as it gets me thinking so helps me learn too[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]you say you are an atheist yet you don't believe in god-surely that makes you agnostic? at the end you talk about returning to the source/nirvana whatever which means you must believe in god. please make up your mind!! you can't have it both ways at once.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy] As for the contents of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, yes it teaches you to be a good person, yes it teaches you to stand up for others, yes it teaches God loves you which other texts do too. However, the other texts don't give you the strength of character to follow these teachings through all your life. No other religion has had people die for others right for freedom. They all teach their way is the right way. The Guru Granth Sahib teaches that we can all coexist. Which other philosophy teaches you to stand up for others even if they are of a different faith?
