[QUOTE="S|kH, post: 69303, member: 217"] I am an undercover muslim. :roll: I am a radical Sikh. I am a Khalistani. I am an African-American. I am a Christian convert. I am ..... beyond labels and identification. I am ... human. :whisling: and I'll help those who need help. and I will always be against a religious dominated state regardless of what ideals the religion preaches. The argument is still completely invalid because your using the ideal of one side and the reality of another and trying to draw a comparison with them. Sikhism MAY allow one on paper to practice any religion, but a Sikh Theocracy we don't know, because there's NEVER been any. You can NOT use the Punjab state and its freedom of religion to expand the example to a sikh-ruled-religious state and say that it would be far better than any Islamic state ever. Let's be real, you guys are quick to say Sikhs allow freedom of religion, but the Punjab state has the lowest male-to-female ratio in India. Where's the SGGS words on that? How come Sikhs aren't following that? In a Sikh ruled state, you would FORCE someone to follow the SGGS guidelines on it, and not commit female infoeticide (now people are starting to be *forced*) ... what about the alcohol consumption rate in Punjab currently? in a Sikh Theocracy, where SGGS is the code of conduct, you would essentially stop people from consuming immense amounts of alcohol... (Looks like people are losing their rights). Suppose they were of a religion that allows intoxication of the mind (rasta ?)...Would you then allow freedom of belief and expression and freedom of choice to do whatever one wishes, or attempt to use the SGGS as a book of law ? How come Sikhs are still drinking alcohol now ? My point is to highlight how you can never use an idealistic philosophy in a comparison against something we can see and determine now. Take your theory to any scientific discussion and it'll quickly get destroyed. We simply do not know what would happen if the Sikhs ruled a state, but we do know about Islam. To say the Sikhs would only use the power of the new state to do good things or the idealistic things there SGGS states is completely incorrect. We can see what they do when they have a CHOICE in a DEMOCRACY in Punjab. ANY religious state is a step backwards when we've already achieved DEMOCRACY. Failed comparison because there is NO Sikh state. The ideals of a Sikh state would lead you to believe that they would allow freedom of religion and conversion, BUT in practice it is ALWAYS different. Hence, why NO religion should be ruling. This is how all dictatorships get started (Everyone thinks that they will do *good* for the people). If a Sikh living in a Sikh state decided to NOT have a female child, would this openly be allowed? Well, we know that it is CURRENTLY happening. If a Muslim living in a Islamic state decided NOT to allow the birth of his daughter, would this be openly allowed? Matters on the state, but their ratios are still far higher than anything Punjab has seen recently. Give power to any single person who solely believes in Religion and uses that as a code of conduct and they will wreak havoc on its citizens. P.E.A.C.E. Progressive Education Always Creates Enlightenment. [/QUOTE]
