[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 151481, member: 14641"] Although sikhism certainly does not have the same numbers as Islam or Christianity, I would say the percentage of believers is higher. When I say believers, I mean those who truly believe rather than view religion as some sort of social club. Also Sikhism is by comparison not a very 'exciting' religion, if you embrace Islam, you get to sleep with virgins when you die, in christianity you get to absolve yourself from guilt with a few Hail Mary's, certainly these religions, it seems to be, got the content and marketing right, these are religions that are easy to sell to the masses. Conversion in christianity is as simple as getting on your knees and asking jesus to come into your life, thats it, no understanding, no philosophy, just fear god, get on your knees, and bang, your a christian. Three quick searches on conversion ISLAM (islamreligion.com) The word “Muslim” means one who submits to the will of God, regardless of their race, nationality or ethnic background. Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process that requires no pre-requisites If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion of God, then, all one needs to do is pronounce the “Shahada”, the testimony of faith, without further delay. Christianity (allaboutgod.com) Become a Christian Today! How do I become a Christian? Once you have asked all your questions, weighed all the evidence, and tested all the arguments, you will ultimately be confronted with the basic question Jesus asked his own disciples in Matthew 16:15: ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter replied: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ What is your reply? If you have come to the same conclusion as Simon Peter, you are a few steps away from having a personal relationship with our loving God. OK, now sikhi, well, you have to have long uncut hair, spend several hours a day in prayer, no miracles, no celestial virgins, well, no celestial anything, no afterlife, just a code of conduct to live your life on earth, and the bliss and contentment of peace, Well, numbers mean nothing, I am a car nut, if Islam and Christianity are Ford and GM, then Sikhism is Subaru, loyal and proud, keen interest in the make, knowledgeable about the make, the car itself is capable of anything in most conditions, they are known for their speed and handling, and the people that buy them tend to carry on buying them, Subarus are very individual cars, you either love them or hate them, they do not cater for the 1 size fits all philosophy of Ford and GM. There is little doubt in my mind that if Subaru were as big as Ford, you would end up with an inferior product as they would have to try and cater for everyone, which in my view would dilute the product. Everything is in the creators hands, we must do what we can to protect the brand as it is, we must enter the car in rallies and show the world how agile and fast it is, we must keep them clean and mechanically sound, so that people are in awe of the beauty of this car, the marketing plan we can leave to head office [/QUOTE]
