    Preaching, Proselytizing, And Missionary Work In Sikhism

    Very interesting discussion. I think one big difference between a sect and a religion is that religion carries a tradition. It perpetuates a history set in a particular geography like Judaism, often a specific language like Punjabi for Sikhs, sometimes even cuisine like Oriental Christians, and...

    General The Carvakas And Atheistic Materialism In Ancient India

    I wish to share my friend's comments about atheism in ancient India. In fact, most of the Indian philosophy is free from God.s presence. Lokayatas were staunch believers in 'no-life-after-death' theory. They believed the body is made of different elements (four - Earth, Fire, water and...

    Atheism Atheism And God

    I found this quote from Sri Aurobindo whereby atheism does not contradict faith in God. It is a good example of paradoxical reasoning which I enjoy practicing. "Atheism is a necessary protest against the wickedness of the churches and the narrowness of the creeds. God uses it as a stone to smash...

    Who Is Closest To God?

    I must say, I am in total admiration for all the people who replied to D.O. with respect and patience. You are great embassadors of sikhism and I would say you are indeed very very close to God. I still have a long way to go. To me, D.O.'s question is silly and not worth any consideration. It is...

    Moving To Quebec, Canada. Advice Reqested!

    Re: respected polpol ji banni1313ji, There is no such thing as pr for Quebec. Quebec is only a province but for political reasons Quebec has some power on the choice of immigrants. Nationalism is very strong and Quebec acts as if it was a nation, for example we have a "national...

    Mathematics In Scripture?

    Here is a simple demonstration of numerology: Suppose we are in the middle ages and I read what Mattqatsi wrote and I have a feeling he is going heretic about the Bible. So I want to know more about him but I only know his name and his date of birth. First, I take his name and change the letters...

    Mathematics In Scripture?

    Numerology is originally a hebrew construct and can only make sense with the Hebrew alphabet. Each letter indeed stands for a number so it is possible to find meaning in an equation or a mathematical formula. Protestants took much interest by the Kabbale (a set of mystic and esoteric knowledge)...
