Thank you. Would you be able to point me to a particular thread in that forum, I wouldn't know where to start. I'm not really sure how to rephrase my question at this time. I'm just wondering if some people merely participate in Sikhism because they like the teachings, but don't believe they...

I love Sikhism, Sikh culture, and Sikh values. Do many Sikhs take the it all literally or do some take it figuratively and use it more as a code of ethics/values and to share a common culture with their peers? I have a hard to being religious due tonot being able to take leaps of faith in...

Can you rephrase the first paragraph here, i'm not sure if I understand what your communicating. As for the second paragraph, what would be the problem. Thanks

So would I be frowned upon? My Ms's does not intend to convert.

If god is considered "a formless force that is above all things and yet preseent in them at the same time" you can call me a believer. Correct if I'm wrong but is that a general/basic concept of god in Sikhism?

Hi, Let me tell you about myself. I'm in a commited relationship with two children. My partner and I are not currently a part of any religion, she enjoys some aspects of buddhism but wouldn't call herself a buddhist. I myself don't lable myself for the most part, but for the sake of it you...
