[QUOTE="seekingsikhi, post: 215263, member: 21867"] Apology accepted, and I would ask you measure statement like those more carefully in the future. Absolutely. Here's my issue with our back and forth. You told Harkiran Kaur ji that you and she are on the same page regarding women. She and I are on the same page regarding women. So what're we disagreeing about? Pointless minutia and parlance. This will probably be my last post; as anything beyond this just starts to look like a {censored} contest. Matthew 7. The following translation is from the New International Version of the bible (Why there needs to be 20+ different english translations of the bible is beyond me). [URL='http://biblehub.com/matthew/7-3.htm'][B]3[/B][/URL]“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? [URL='http://biblehub.com/matthew/7-4.htm'][B]4[/B][/URL]How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? [URL='http://biblehub.com/matthew/7-5.htm'][B]5[/B][/URL]You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. While a somewhat crude image, I would say that the greater message goes along well with SGGS; one of improving the self rather than focusing on the failings of others. Likewise, we can hardly encourage other faiths and peoples to treat women as equals if we ourselves keep them bound to traditional indian/punjabi/irish catholic roles of cooking cleaning and baby-making; and keep them down when they try to strive for more. As to the point of my original post, men (as a group) have no right to stop women (as a group) from doing anything; and there are men in the panth who have forgotten this and the guru's teachings on gender equality. Sheikh Farid comes readily to mind. I'm not suggesting we include bible quotes in SGGS, but if Muslims like Farid are included than it hardly seems fair to outright dismiss a philosophically applicable bible quote purely for its source. I'm honestly not sure where the confusion is here. Women were seen as possessions that nobody would want after their husbands died and so they were burnt on the funeral pyre with him. The gurus put a stop to this practice, stating that women were equal to men and deserved equal treatment. If women were intended to be burnt with the bodies of their husbands, something in our biology would turn them to firewood after he died. Not at all. Only my parlance. My referring to God and saying "God wanted" doesn't mean I ascribe to the idea of some Mr. God sitting on a cloud raining judgment down on nonbelievers. It's just the words I'm using. English is an inferior language for these kinds of conversations, but I don't speak Punjabi; so I can either spend all my time wrestling to get the english exactly right and never actually finish a post or I can use what's available to me and hope people don't get hung up on the specific words I'm using; choosing instead to look at the larger message.
