[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 185259, member: 138"] Akiva ji, Guru Fateh. Let's start anew to create this conversation from the very beginning. This wonderful thread was started by fsf ji is regarding [B][U]Science and Sikhi[/U][/B] and let's stick to that subject. Let's not try to deviate from it. Even Harvir pitched in with his queries about the subject as others did. I am sure you have read the whole thread, if not, I urge you to do so. One does not assume things about others with one's preconceived biases, it shows one's own lack of reason for some reason. Now let's go over how this thing about "Age of Reason" started. Mind you, let's not lose our focus on the thread which is [B][U]Science and Religion (Sikhi)[/U][/B]. This is what your response to Spnadmin ji's question was: You connected the "Age of Reason" with [B]Sikhi[/B] because as mentioned before, this thread is about [B]Sikhi [/B]and I am sure you are aware of that which is implied by you that [B]Sikhi[/B] is part of the same what Thomas Payne was talking about, where in reality Thomas Payne talks about Christianity and also about Judaism, the latter not in a positive manner. As the thread has nothing to do with Christianity, the obvious conclusion through deductive reasoning is that you are attaching/attacking Sikhi with false claims in this way. I will not presume as you have and give you the benefit of the doubt that you know the meaning of deductive reasoning. Based on the deductive reasoning, you were falsely claiming that Guru Nanak, with his reasoning did the bad thing. For that reason I asked you the questions. In order to be more clear that you were talking strictly about Christianity, you should have mentioned that explicitly, which you failed to do. Once again, this thread is about [B]Science and Sikhi[/B]. Now let's get back your response to me. Akiva ji, I never get offended by someone's preconceived bias about others. I am not offended by anyone's ignorance either. I like to give the benefit of the doubt by asking questions in case I do not know which I did ask relating to this particular thread and its subject. You wrongly assumed with your own personal bias that I do not know anything about the "Age Of Reason". It is not my loss in any way,shape or form. Quoting Wiki is parroting in a very shallow manner because as mentioned before it is one of the worst references to pull one's knowledge from because it can be edited by anyone, anytime. So, I do not give any credit to your reference as I have mentioned before in another post of mine. Define secular for me please. Who do you define as secular? Once again, please do not forget we are talking about [B]Sikhi [/B]here in this thread. Which is natural but I fail to see the point you are trying to make and how does it relate to the subject being discussed in this thread? Let me take your words for it, then it becomes your duty and responsibility to explain that you were changing the subject from [B]Sikhi to Christianity[/B] when you mentioned "Age Of Reason" and also should have given the time period -circa- to differentiate the both by also clarifying that you were not talking about [B]Sikhi[/B] for some odd reason, the very discussion of the thread. There is a big difference between the religions which are based on deities and subjective truths and Sikhi. Belief system in a religious connotation is void of objective reality, whereas Sikhi is not. Please feel free to ask questions in order to learn the difference. Well, then the onus and the responsibility is on you not to mix apples with oranges and stick to the subject being discussed in the thread. They can only be true in a subjective ways, hence opinions which have nothing to do with the objective reality. I beg to differ with you. Specifics are not only important but are essential to further this conversation and please point out the movements in Sikhi- [B]the subject of this thread with concrete examples.[/B] You can start a different thread/s about the other religions and we shall discuss the specifics there. Who IS they? What do you understand about Sikhi? In what way is it trying to modernise itself? Please be specific with concrete examples, otherwise it becomes mere rhetoric full of babble. Once again, let's stick to the subject of this thread. Please give concrete example regarding the subject of this thread about your claims. Let me mention this again. [B]Your false claims about Sikhi were when you lumped Sikhi with the "Age Of Reason" without differentiating the two for the reasons only known to yourself and that premise is totally false as challenged by my questions to you.[/B] My last point is that I am a bit surprised by this altered post of yours. When I read it for the first time, you had flaunted your preconceived bias regarding me not having studied in the West, hence having no inkling about the "Age Of Reason", which was a false assumption on your part laced with ignorance. And secondly, in the end of the post you challenged me that when I read the books by some authors, one of which I remember was Huxley as I just glanced through the thread before getting busy in something else, then you would discuss with me. If both of your comments were deleted by Spnadmin ji, then I have nothing to add because it was a very wise decision by the Admin and I commend her for doing so. In case you deleted them, firstly, it is a cop out, and secondly it shows your sheer arrogance laced with ignorance in a very pompous manner. I want to assure you that I never get offended by it because it shows more about you than about anyone else. It shows your bias against people who challenge your intellect. Next time, please ask questions in order to find out if people have read the books you are mentioning rather than having some preconceived bias. This is not the way to start a conversation as you so much desired initially but a confrontation and being a bully. And I am not interested in either. Regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
