[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 201158, member: 14641"] Well, it is my opinion, and I am pretty sure I can have an opinion rooted in whatever I want, or is that something else you wish to enforce? I have already gone through this, several times now, if you do not understand, or cannot understand, I am sorry. I do not need to demonstrate anything, I have my opinion, I have backed up by opinion with whatever proofs I feel have influenced me, and that is enough, if you are unable to grasp this, then you are unable to grasp it. Entertainment in your house that bad eh you have to occupy your time looking for my soundbites! There are many quotes and translations on this forum I have participated in, the comment you have pounced on is actually sarcasm, the following post explains it, but I guess quoting that would not have done your agenda any good. no, not really, the line in question is in regard to the truth, the second line I am referring to is satnam, the facet that we should all embrace, to live by the truth, is there any point reading the SRM if you struggle with this concept, maybe for you there is, and good luck to you, but for me there is not, and nothing you say will change that. Do you have trouble reading between the lines? I see, they do it because of a Rehat? I do it out of a desire to better myself, your right I am struggling with your form of Sikhism. It would be absurd to assume that I have only read two lines, but for the purposes of your argument, lets say that is all I have had to read, I would still say that concentrating on living by the truth is going to bring you closer to Sikhism than reading the SRM..... Unfortunately your talking utter rubbish, which I will demonstrate to you very easily, google Sikh history, and then read it, even on established Sikh sites, and what do you see, multiple marriages, miracles, people being brought back to life, etc etc etc. Those Sakhis have influenced Sikh history hugely, right down to the first Amar Chitra Katha I read when I was 6. They may not be what you are talking about, but they sure are what everyone else is talking about. again, the proof is in the pudding, what you feel or have opinions about is not how the rest of the word sees it, again, one only has to browse the internet to see how Sikh history is presented. hey look, another definitive statement! Now this is where you really need to understand where I am coming from, I am not an academic like yourself, I am not a social Sikh, I do not socially know any other Sikhs, I do not mix with Sikhs, (actually I do not mix with anyone), so I do not really need Sikhi to support my position, and nor do I wish to push my opinion as Sikh fact. I have come to my own conclusions through living, through alcoholism, drug use, casual sex, prison, bankruptcy, 5 heart attacks, etc etc etc etc. What I have learned, I see similar in Sikhism, and that makes me happy, and I write about it. If your telling me that I am not a Sikh, thats fine, you will have to join the queue, but I do not believe in rituals, and as far as I know Sikhism does not believe in rituals so that is where I am. I do believe that is my right I also believe that is my right too, I fail to see your point, are you trying to save me? I see, so the SGGS does apply to me, but the SRM does not apply to me, or even to you, why are we arguing about it then? Replying to your posts is really starting to cut into my day and my chocolate consumption. Err , I'll pass on that one if its all the same to you that my friend is up to you, that is your interpretation and you are entitled to it maybe it is badly translated, who knows Well they are not, but many Sikhs do have a ritualistic attitude to the 5 K's I see, a bit like the thread the Hindus have! Look, I am not bashing the SRM, there is much of what you write that is good, if you wish me to concede the SRM has its role, fine I am happy concede that, I see little or no point in defending my own opinion when I also consider myself a madman, if you were a madman, we could talk, but your not, so this really is a pointless discussion. Failing that, what exactly is your agenda? [/QUOTE]
