Bhagat ji
It is simply amazing that my point is lost. Here again is the sentence,
That both you and the main speaker cannot stop getting into arguments about religion?
The thread is about Vaisakhi Greetings and the use of Punjabi language forms that are interesting as found in the text of the greeting. What does that have to do with disputing specifics of religion. In what way does a prolonged argument about an unrelated topic serve the discussion?
Aad ji I understand your point but this thread does not have a focus of discussion. It started from something off topic which was that Gurudwaras should be spending money elsewhere. And we went through one of the things that happen in Gurughar's and that is that teaching if punjabi but now, we are essentially talking about religion, which is what gurudwaras are based on.
So I fail to see how what we were talking about before had to do with Vaisakhi greetings. You are essentially saying that the greeting is related to the Punjabi discussion because the greting contains certain Punjabi alphabets. However, the greeting essentially for Vaisakhi, also relates to religion; Khalsa day relates to Khalsa.
I am not disputing specifics of religion. ( That I leave for other threads. ) But what I am saying is that
it becomes hard to upset people when you criticize (any point in) religion because religion is given this immunity that it SHOULDn' be criticized. Why?
Now I don't think that's off topic seeing as the Punjabi discussion started from something off topic.
So after this if you still consider the bolded statement above to be off topic then we will stop discussing it.

Possible explanation: Maybe the guy is a jerk in the way he does this, however valid his argument?
No he specifically says that if I do the SAME with politics or something else then no one minds.
