[QUOTE="S|kH, post: 62556, member: 217"] Lol, how old are you? That you truly believe that religious people dont get depressed or go thru hell in the mind-state, and that atheists end up in mental institutions because they have no hope and are all craving money? Atheism is one of the most liberating experiences existing to man, currently. Think about it, you lose all division with other humans, you walk around and you no longer see someone as hindu, sikh, muslim, black, white, asian. They just exist, they just are, if they are in need of help, you will help, not because of you wish to get in better grounds with an over-seer (which to me sounds a little selfish), but mainly because you do not wish your fellow human to suffer. Is that hard to believe? JaySingh, I took the step your thinking of taking. It was by far the most liberating experience ever. The fundamentalist Sikhs who run gurdwaras and the half of the responses you've recieved in this thread are main reasons why kids get pushed away. Apologetic Sikhs just fall into the hands of the fundamentalist institutions. On a side note, it definitely feels good not to have some other sikh give me lip-service on the type of gel im using in my dhari, or that its tied up too tight and it shouldn't be tied up at all, or that I shouldn't be eating meat, and should practice on my shabads. Although, I didn't give up the Sikh identity, I definitely made it a clear point that I am no longer assosciated with Sikhism. Well, I guess I never kept the identity since I used to fix my unibrow every few years growing up, so I guess I never kept any of the 5 K's, so I was never a Sikh? So, I could never become an atheist? Maybe I was a theist, that turned to an atheist? Who Knows. Life's short. Liberate your mind. I tried for years to maintain being a Sikh with an athiestic mind-state, it just doesn't mix well. It caused years and years of turmoil and depression. I finally accepted the fact that this is the way my brain works. I over-think far too much, I am very analytical, and rely solely on fact, reason, logic and rationale. As I grew older, and further went down the path of finding the truth I noticed so many lies which believers just assume to be true because the "holy" did it. Never appeased my mind, I doubt it ever will. Why do I keep my head hair? Well, thats whole another thing that I refuse to get into with some of the fanatics here. I don't want to hear anymore of the "just cut it all" ridiculous answers. I also love how society acts as if to "believe" is good, and the analogy that people pushing you to simply believe in God without any scientific proof is equilvalent to pushing your child into the doctor's room to receive his Hepatitis B shot. One has science behind it, the other....well, it just feels "good." This is Darwinism at it's finest. Humans are scared to see change or different views. This is why we have so many rehits, in order to be the one that survives, they want everyone else to be like that, to look like them, so they feel no difference. So, everyones on equal playing field.
