[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 181982, member: 138"] Ishna ji, Guru Fateh. Allow me to respond to this particular part of your post. I beg to differ with you. The Bible is full of morals, ethics, dos and do nots by giving examples through the stories given in it. I can quote many verses from the Bible to elaborate my point if you like. Yes, the reason they are stuck in time is because of the subjective truths not due to the objective reality. The case in point is about everything revolving around the Earth. Poor Galileo was sent to "The Devil's Island" because he saw the objective reality. Only in 1992, the Catholic Church admitted the objective reality about the Earth revolving around the Sun. Poor Galileo was long dead to hear that. Subjective truths also are called Absolute Truth etched in stone (the 10 commandments). I can quote many other things which are betrayal to the norms of the society of today from different scriptures because of their subjective truths. People are certain that Jesus will return and convert all the non-believers and the ones who do not will be thrown in the cauldron of Hell and the rest will be saved for eternity. One wonders who is going to pay for their health insurance!:) I beg to differ with you again. Here is my take about it which I mentioned in my speech at the Interfaith Forum and still stand by it: "The poetry of the Guru Granth is in itself a subject worthy of the highest consideration. Music forms the basis of the rhythms and classification of the hymns. This form is not only used to preserve the originality of the composition, as the poetry written in this form is difficult to imitate, but more so to provide the divine experience through the medium of music. Further, poetry can be left to the culture and the times that follow to best interpret the message".

It is all about injustice, abduction and rapes and Guru Nanak stood against all this and urges us today to do the same. These things still happen today.
