The problem I have with this issue is the as yet unanswered question of why. Why is it important that my wife and I share the same faith? Why is it important that my children are not Sikh? What damage does that do to me, or my faith, or my relationship with God? God populated this planet with a wonderous verity of peoples and ideas, and paths to reach out for God, and Guru ji has told us that the reaching is important, not the path. True living. As a Sikh, or a Muslim, or Christian, or a Hindu, or whatever, the path is immaterial, the quest, the end result is what is truely important. Do you disagree? Ik onkar. God is 1. God is equaly in my wife as God is in me, why should I love my wife any less because she is not Sikh? Indeed how an I love God and not love my wife, that makes no sense to me. Look around, can you see anywhere where God is not? Can you not love all equaly then irregardless of what faith or even lack of faith they profess? [/QUOTE]
