The original sin was an act of dual betrayal incorporating all seven sins combined in the one act against God and to the detrimental downfall of Man by woman. A child born in wedlock of two loving married parents has minimal or no sin as it is a designed creation born of purity or spirit, sanctity of matrimony and fidelity of two devoted spouses creating an offering to a future generation.
A child in a sum product of its parentage, within its subconscious lies the combined thoughts, acts and memory banks of its inherited mindset. It is therefore as sinful or as pious as the measure of love, virtue, Gurmat and honour its parent cells have and indoctrinated by example into the child. The Sikh stance utilises daily recitation Mool Mantra to erase any negative inherent cells within the spirit and mind and make as near perfect the thinking, resultant conduct and innate ability to function as an autonomous individual within a cohesive family network and social structure, contributing in part to the collective conscience with as much Universal Consciousness as its mind encompasses and attains.
Atheists are symptomatic of the times, products of an angry dysfunctional, fragmented society, where women compete and battle with men than support and love, classes, races, generations and religions battle devoid of an abridging understanding or respect of one another. These angry souls, unable for a number of reasons, to make protest against the protected rulers and governors of society, and without any understanding of the philosophical values, scientific stratagems and spirituality required to comprehend religion. Religion is made to carry blame for the incompetence of democratically elected leaders nominated by a ridiculously over powerful and irresponsible mayhem causing media, having no purpose other than to incite controversy and entertain purely for profit.
Atheist are heathens, a group of reactionaries of the political media subtle stance against the formidable power the church holds over the people, toward securing that power for themselves. Sikhism does not recognise state and religion as two separate body’s but as One Inseparable Rule of Law. For this reason many Sikhs battle to this day in Sant Jarnail Singh Bindranwalle’s martyred cause to free the Punjab from the shackles of a state itself bowed and controlled by a vociferous media. Sikhism does not recognise atheism. One is either orthodox practising, truth seeking or a person of integrity and good standing according due regard to the scripture regardless of whether one pays homage on a regular basis or not.
Sikhism although singing laud of The Lord of Bani manifest in mortal form, does not actualise a God, rather recognises God as The Absolute and Supreme Truth manifest in human form. An individual ordinate or spiritually awakened understands within the bounds of their expanded or limited consciousness. It falls upon man to prove his awareness or lack thereof The Lord than to The Supreme Lord being demanded to disclose himself at the whim and will of mortal. Supreme Consciousness and Spirituality are the end blessing and spiritual liberation of the path of Sikhism, not gratuities given on insistence. I find atheism entirely illogical and completely false.
One knows nothing if One knows not The Self and Ones maker, earthly and Universal.
Sikhs are a strong race and are therefore afforded the luxury of tolerance of all faiths without compromise or fear of infallibility of their own. It is also amongst the youngest of religions and hence accords due respect to all faiths gone before and existing. Hatred is an evil, maligns thought and distorts mans agenda onto a selfish and ill considered path. The truly wise cannot hate because they hold an understanding of the view of the other. They will enlighten and place upon the higher path of light and amenability or avoid contact with volitient individuals unable to discuss with courtesy or understanding.
God is Great. God does not exercise his omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresent. Presumed a Creator whose creation outgrew him as weeds to tender flowers, created a matrix of illusion and web of Maya and deceit wherein it constrains both God and his Creation. God, Father and Parents are as competent, strong and respect worthy as we the offspring allow. Sikhism instils family values from birth, customary practises that reinforce family ties, community and society at large. There are many Gods to be found in the Punjab, one merely needs eye to see and understand our Fathers and Elders are as authoritative and powerful within the home and externally as their spouse and its nurtured offspring allow...

With Christianity a firm stipulation is orated of salvation of soul only through Jesus Christ, usually gained by conversion to the religion. These words are taken out of context. At the time of Jesus many false prophets and idols south to tap the market trend towards Saviours and mentors. Jesus warned against succumbing to such profiteers for the peoples need for peace, stability and a Godhead type figure to lead them to light. The Christ could not elaborate upon this plea as then and now these marketers had become extremely cunning in subverting and falsifying the Christ words culminating in his rejection by state, monarch, people and church and his condemnation by the same to death. The word of Jesus was proven right as the mob influenced by the evil forces he was fully aware of eventually damned him to a brutal death. These sound tenets are taken out of context by zealots but were horribly true in context. It is difficult then to give consideration to a religion with a perfect God in mortal form almost boasting of the denigration of his life to a mission of sin cleansing and brutal sacrificial death for ‘the peoples sins’ no mention is made of any condemnation of his deniers and repudiators or those who witnessed his carrying the cross through the very throng he came into this world to save. The Lord is a loving and forgiving Lord. Ultimately what is Spirit aspires towards the Higher Dimension of Universal consciousness and that which is matter reverts to the dust from where it is born. The confusion Hitchin’s and atheist are a battle of wills between a repudiation of any God through anger of deemed unjust fate and irrational words they either do not understand or are actuated by an innate hypocrisy in religion itself. ‘’Data kare Dataara’’ is one I contest, I do not think The WaheGuru punishes innocent through a whim or inexplicable wantonness. Yet we witness horrendous suffering by good obedient souls, exacerbated by the boastfulness of the almost inhumane of grace enjoyed by the same said God. Hence Sikhism submits to Absolutism in Truth made pure by a purified mind as fortress of faith in an illogical and at times malevolent world.
As an intellectual Hitchin’s requires reasoning that many religious converts and so called followers lack of proselytising. It is unfortunate that these types of noise makers tend to do more harm than any good to the cause of religion, Sikhism, Christianity or whatever religion they have attached themselves to. Anger makes the best and brilliant minds a tad irrational exacerbated by the incessant drum beating of minions besieging a sanctum and institution once the sanctuary and bastion of the intellectual, philosophers, visionaries and Wise fraternity. No I am not colour blind, {what is an albino, a negative, if the world is a rainbow, what are swine and negros?.} Then and now it would appear The Christ is but a front shield to inspire faith and allegiance to religiosity, when gained is dispensed with for the festering hell to profit and assume power through. This web of illusory deception where sinners sell souls for a pittance whilst Saints are sacrificed for an insidiously utilitarian cause *******ed against both Father and his Humanity. A sign of the times perhaps...
It is admitted and much evidence to conclude the reigning and presiding ''god', indeed God Is Not Great...
