Hello
My name is David,i'm Scottish, i'm soon to be 18 and i'm heading of to study psychology later this year at University. As you may have guessed from my username i am a Communist and i am an active member of the Communist Party of Britain. Although i was brought up a Catholic, i became an atheist at a very young age and when i was about 14 i began to study communism and marxist theory. But at the end of summer 2005 i began to feel a calling for spirituality and religion in my life. I studied Buddhism which didn't work for me, and eventually i resumed Catholicism. But during the time that i considered myself a Catholic i experienced high amounts of prejudice because of my political affiliation(Communism and left wing politics), and in one case i was told that i was EITHER a communist or a catholic. So i left Catholicism and began my religious search again. Very recently i have begun looking into Sikhismm and have found it to be a very interesting faith and one that suits me especially as i am pro-female rights,anti-bigotry,pro-human rights and all for equality and justice for all, etc. Also the idea of reincarnation appeals to me,meditation, belief in one God and many other aspects. Basically i see it as a religion which could work for myself and i decided to join a forum where there are Sikhs to discuss with. Hopefully you can accept me for my communist beliefs and let me learn more about sikhism and hopefully i can make my decision whether to adopt it as my faith or not. I hope to talk to you all soon.
Thank you,
David
Ps. if anyone can help me with advice on where to start studying, looking at prayers, how to try Sikhism in my life, etc, please contact me. I already know the basics of sikhism, but i have alot to learn. It means alot to me. Thanks.
