[QUOTE="Seeker9, post: 136148, member: 11719"] Ok here goes..... If the stories parents tell their children is the [U]only[/U] source they ever provide for SIkhi, then yes, yo do have a point. If that is the case, it is a real pity as any Gurdwara I have ever been to in different cities and countries has an educational programme for young children. So really, there is no reason for this to be the case I would never call them stupid. They just have the utmost honour and respect for their religion. Again, as I have said twice already on this thread, I still don't see why this belief on their part should be a barrier to you . Bit of a sweeping generalisation there. Is the Christian community ridiculed for all the great stories in the Bible? The great plagues, the parting of the red sea, David & Goliath, the Tower of Babel etc etc? Answer - no they are not. So I will disagree with your point here Interesting comparison with the "tolerant" Muslims who declare fatwahs on a world reknowned author who wrote a work of fiction never mind actually passed critical comment on an aspect of the faith...... You have expressed a viewpoint and I have mine. I consider it not important so said so. This is what it means to have a debate and discuss differing viewpoints. I think I have already said why I think it is not important. Can you tell me why it is important to you personally?? Not in general terms about the wider community but you personally? Have you read it? Even in an english translation? Ah right...I see...you haven't really read it but are speaking with some authority about it nonetheless. I am no intellectual but I have read the NT twice and the OT once, I have read large quantities of the Quran, the Rig Veda, the Tanakh, the Dhammapada and a number of other texts including Chinese philosophies. To me the Granth is different in a number of ways. Here's one seeing you asked...the concept of God. The Sikh concept is different from that of most established religions. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you know that already..if not may I humbly suggest you make greater effort to actually study that which you have been commenting on most freely.... Jap Ji Sahib is a good place to start.... . Again...what "people" say is what people say. I don't care for people. The path of one's own spiritual enlightenment is not a shared experience. This is not something one does third hand through someone else. I still find it remarkable you get so hung up on "people". If Christians got hung up on "people" like the Catholic clergy for example, in the way you appear to be doing so with Sikhs, there would be mass desertions from the faith.
