[QUOTE="Truthsikher31, post: 216536, member: 21973"] There's so many conflicts with your response, not sure where to begin. Let's see I don't respect "God's" will and I don't get the concept of karma. Sounds more like a threat from God Karma - what goes around comes around. And according to you since I'm being disrespectful to Gods choices, something bad is going to happen to me? But isn't God all good? So if he is true and I'm just an idiot rambling on, then he's going to punish me? Interesting. Is he gonna take me away from me or my kids away from me, or something worse? That would be a {censored} move on his end, no? Or maybe you can help me understand. Why put a donkey on the throne when you can put a king. Very interesting. So who decided who was the donkey and who was king. And very interesting you used the word "king". Kinda helps me prove my point about being a monarchy. Back to the donkey part. We're the gurus families and bloodlines pure and the rest of the people were jackasses? Guess so, since they must be fools. But wait doesn't sikhi preach all are equal, including women? So then how is a family of gurus more worthy? The women that wed into the families must be pure to then, since they give birth to these gurus. And what about those womens parents? Meaning the gurus in-laws were they all Sikhs? Were they worthy? Help me to understand who the donkeys and kings were. Blood doesn't matter, well according to history it did. If it didn't matter, why were some gurus kids when they were chosen. Why not some more qualified adult who wasn't family. Nanaks family proves blood doesn't matter? That's a poor example to use since he started sikhi. But after the third guru, is where choosing the gurus system gets flawed . My point is God didn't personally choose these gurus. Nor did God communicate to each guru which to choose next. These were man made choices , just like how all religions are man made up. I find it ironic that when given the name Singh, and being called Lions, that most people become like [U]sheeps[/U] the moment something not so nice is questioned about sikhi. Let's say for a second o agree with you that there is a God. And as Sikhs we dont cut our hair because God gave us that hair. And we perfect and beautiful in his image and creation. So is the brain, the mind. It's a beautiful gift we posses. So then why do you disrespect that gift, by giving up so lazily. Oh a natural disaster just occured, killing thousands and damaging unimaginable. Why did that happen, oh its Gods plan. Thousands of children die at or before birth, was that Gods plan? Was that his will? Ya none of us can prove the (Whys), but then is God still all good? You talk about Karma, is that Gods game? Love me endlessly or be punished? Someone else posted even if the Gurus selection was like a monarchy, what's the big deal? Everything was "all good". So that makes it okay? But who decides what they did, what they taught was "right". Other religions at the time didn't agree with them, not all. Ans yet, most Sikhs will still say the Guru's were right and good, because its their pride talking. Chances are when your born in to a religion, you'll think your religion is the best and can't do no wrong. Before you start to get all defensive, and try to scare with empty threats, think about what you just said. [/QUOTE]
