[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 208149, member: 14641"] We live in a time where Sikhism is being infiltrated by aspects of other faiths, to some this is welcome, to some this is not so welcome, I personally feel that there is something different in Sikhism that makes it different to other faiths, in fact, the facet that I find most attractive about Sikhism is the lack of carrot and stick learning. We call ourselves adults, but it seems to me that a lot of us need to be treated like children, even now, I can browse a few Sikh forums and find plenty of content regarding ritual and ceremony and the need for validation from the rest of the community, the question 'how should I worship god in a way that is socially acceptable' seems to be common. As a Sikh I found my way deep in Sikhism, I am not a 'all roads lead to rome' kind of guy, I have respect for any and all other religions, even the order of holy nun worshipers, actually, especially the order of holy nun worshipers, but as a Sikh, there is a difference between respect and immersion, if it is the Bible that showed you the way. and if it is the Bible that showed you that god is loving and all knowing, then why are you not a Christian? Bearing in mind you are a senior member of this forum in terms of posts submitted and time spent here, do you not think you owe some responsibility to younger Sikhs who read your posts? Do you not think some might find this confusing? It would be easy to get the impression that one can follow aspects of any religion and still be a Sikh, as its all the same, again, I disagree, anyone can follow aspects of any religion and become enlightened, but not necessarily a Sikh. The SRM states the following :- [SIZE=5][B]Definition of Sikh[/B][/SIZE] A Sikh is defined as any person, male or female, who faithfully: [LIST] [*]Believes in the existence of One Eternal God [*]Follows the teachings of, and accepts as their only Spiritual guides, the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Granth_Sahib']Guru Granth Sahib[/URL] and the ten human Gurus [*]Believes in the baptism ([URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amrit_Sanchar']Amrit Sanchar[/URL]), as promoted by the tenth Guru [*]Does not owe allegiance to any other religion [/LIST] bearing in mind the bible showed you the path, I find it completely acceptable that your conflict of interest should be pointed out, how can you then define yourself as a Sikh? Am I questioning your Sikhi? absolutely not, I question your statement, how can the bible have shown you the path given the above? [/QUOTE]
