[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 215975, member: 14641"] you crack on mate, I think its people like you asking these questions that make others question their own comfortable answers yes, that is the trouble with learning off our elders, we propagate this to our own kids, and nothing new ever gets learned. but why do you need an eism period? even as an atheist you need a God not to believe in. The whole concept of God is quite personal, down to how you view God, how you communicate with God, and even those that feel God has given them their own special journey in life, which is to convert others to that view, we are all different. How can you possibly know what is true or false? how can anyone know? up until the point of death we have to have an open mind and use our brains, I personally see it a large jigsaw puzzle, rather than allow it have any affect on my life, its interesting, but at the end of the day, I wake up, I live, I go to sleep, and that's it. If your motivation is what to teach your kids, just teach them to be honest good human beings, you don't need God to tell you that, or validate it. It would be naive for us to assume that any religion, as it stands today, is an honest and accurate reflection of how it came to be, and how it was when it was conceived, there are too many with their own agenda, and that agenda is to control others. Allow your kids to the freedom to make their own decision based on the wisdom that you can impart on them, it is quite arrogant to assume that you take responsibility for their faith, all you can do is give them the facts and allow them to make their own decisions, sounds freaky eh, but you seem like the sort of guy I could say that to. I find all the Gurus were singing from the same song sheet myself, changing environments brought about changing circumstances, but if you could give me one example where one Guru contradicted another Guru, I would be interested in that. nope, there is a growing sentiment that they were ordinary human beings with no powers that showed us the best of mankind, and the pinnacle of what a human being could be. They were quite specific in this regard, they said it was wrong to do such yes, they were perfect human beings Sikhis in its current state is far from perfect, but if we come on to something close to my heart, universal truth, then in my mind they had discovered what the universal truth was, and lived by it, acted by it. as the environment changed, so did their contribution, however, the message was the same from the start. again, show an example of this change it was, again, show an example of contradiction your choice of words does not need to be so harsh as to invite disapproval, you are on a Sikh forum, and you seem quite intelligent, did you expect to be able to get away with that one and not cause ripples, it shows your own lack of humility and your big ego, you could have chosen understanding, which shows you are asking from a humble point of view, a genuine desire to learn, rather than a troll, I do not think you are a troll, but your communication skills are a bit lacking on such a sensitive subject. Show me one instance where a Guru has u turned, and we can go from there, criticism ˈkrɪtɪsɪz(ə)m/ [I]noun[/I] [LIST=1] [*][B]1[/B]. the expression of disapproval of someone or something on the basis of perceived faults or mistakes. [/LIST] understanding ʌndəˈstandɪŋ/ [I]noun[/I] [LIST=1] [*][B]1[/B]. the ability to understand something; comprehension. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
