    Controversial Sikh Parents Urge Families To Accept Their LGBT Children

    It's really simple. I don't know how you can't understand. Do people get killed for eating broccoli? No, because no one cares that you eat broccoli. So stop caring if people are gay or not, leave them alone. Let them be. If they are being persecuted, you can help them. But the only solution...

    Controversial Sikh Parents Urge Families To Accept Their LGBT Children

    But I would much rather prefer to be utopian than some sort of Freudian/Darwinian reductionist! I'm not going to engage in pseudo-psychological discussion about the 'subconscious' and 'tribal mentality'.. We may as well justify killing millions of people and eating meat with the same rationale.

    Controversial Sikh Parents Urge Families To Accept Their LGBT Children

    You know nothing about me; your posts are extremely obnoxious, and I'm not going to bother replying to anything you post again. Read my comment before this one. I do not ignore their suffering. I am well aware of it; but I only see one solution. You can convince yourself that the world is...

    Controversial Sikh Parents Urge Families To Accept Their LGBT Children

    I'm not discriminating. There's just no reason to talk about it. Why do you care who someone loves or marries? Why do you care if someone feels like the opposite gender than they were born as? I think you all fail to understand my comment. It is not about "me" not caring. You bring up all these...

    What Does Meditation Mean In Sikhism?

    I can't believe one small comment can be so misunderstood.. Let's try it again.. I take their approach; what I mean is that I look at meditation that way because it is my understanding of it. Does Gurbani not say to remember the naam at all times? While walking, sitting, washing the...

    What Does Meditation Mean In Sikhism?

    I learned about Zen Buddhism for a few years before finding Sikhi; and I seem to still take their approach to 'meditation'. This involves being in a state of meditation (zazen) while sitting, walking, washing the dishes, whatever it may be; which is of course in line with the teachings of...

    Controversial Sikh Parents Urge Families To Accept Their LGBT Children

    You know, if people just stop talking about what they do with their private parts in public; there'd be no more discrimination. Much like how Morgan Freeman said to end racism, we just need to stop talking about it. If you take a moment to consider how powerful language is supposed to be for...

    Fools Who Wrangle Over Flesh

    Rajinder Singh Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Thank you for your support and kind words, but I will be refraining from posting; at least on this topic. I have a lot of work to do elsewhere and this is just becoming a distraction, and quite honestly an unnecessary stress...

    Whats That Pain Between Eyebrows When Meditating?

    I don't know, I haven't tried! But I would imagine that's just from the contact/pressure, no?

    Fools Who Wrangle Over Flesh

    A vegetarian who insists on helping carnivores justify their murder? Please. I do come across it all the time, it's true. But I just don't bother associating with anyone who decides to knowingly murder innocent lives and, in the process, destroy the environment. Thankfully, I am surrounded by...

    Fools Who Wrangle Over Flesh

    I said "most", doesn't mean you. But. "Sikhi: Gone." Posted Yesterday. I don't take kindly to people who try to justify murder by asking if plants feel sad. Even if they do, there's no reason to be murdering beings that are obviously sentient; can cry, yell, have children and raise...

    Fools Who Wrangle Over Flesh

    Ignorance is not a justification for mass-murder, poisoning the land and water, and in the process, poisoning ourselves. That and I have realized, by reading blog posts, that most of the people we are talking to are 'giving up' on Sikhi and feel they've gained nothing from it anyway... so why...

    Whats That Pain Between Eyebrows When Meditating?

    I've had this happen; it is the anya chakra, or at least that's what I thought it was. Are you wearing dastaar while meditating? The way I wear mine tends to re-distribute that kind of pressure higher up.

    Fools Who Wrangle Over Flesh

    Ok, so a plant receives an electrical signal when injured. Does it do this for self-preservation? Does it "feel" it? This implies that plants have consciousness. I hardly see how this justifies eating meat or these issues I've posted about here...
