Re: Im new Welcome Dawn! I hope that your time is enjoyable and educational. Obviously you are very open minded --how many people would join a site of another faith to learn more about it. Truly commendable. I look forward to hearing more from you. Ravi Singh Oh and Dawn by the way, my...

Personally, I do not see an issue in people of different faiths dating. There certainly is not any direct guidance as such from the sikh rehat or the scriptures. Often with Sikhism punjabi culture is seen as interwined with the religion --of course this is completely incorrect. What your...

Re: The Texas State Capitol's Ten Commandments at the Supreme Court S]kh, I agree that we should keep this going as there are many relevant issues being raised here re:what it means to be a religious person within the context of a modern state --I would argue that this os one of the most...

Re: The Texas State Capitol's Ten Commandments at the Supreme Court CC, I must have been unclear in my response. I do not agree that the 10 commandments should be placed outside of courthouses, etc. because they are irrelevant especially things like don't break the sabbath. By "ditto" I meant...
