[QUOTE="skeptic.freethinker1, post: 133023, member: 13087"] Tejwant Ji, You call my questions a pony trick but you don't realize that this question is very important specially to youngsters because it effects each and every one of us at a very personal level specially to kids during their formative years when they are looking to forge their life long identities. Since they are in school, they don't have enough time or resources to do in depth study of our religion on their own. So they resort to next best thing which is to ask questions from supposedly learned people. But people like you mock them. You don't realise that your mockery is hurtful and disrespectful to them and their intelligence. [B] Seriously, if your own son asked you this question, would your answer still be the same to cut his hair and see how it feels?[/B] If not then why are you trying to misguide me? Now don't even try to say that yes you will tell your own child to cut his hair too just to find out how he feels. You know you won't do that. You have continued to mock me all through this thread. I thought being a senior member of the forum you would be helping the young and curious minds. But all you do is make fun and misguide them. When you start your suggestions with such wrong comments, it muddies even the rest of your suggestion. But in spite of that I will start listening to Gurbani as you said, if not for answers, then at least for spiritual growth. Many other members out here had their doubts about my intention and probably still do. But you were the only one who by yourself decided firmly what my intentions were. In your very first post you declared that I wasn't looking for answers to satisfy me. In your very first post on this thread you said to me :- How do you reach such far fetched conclusions about me when you don't know me and that too in your very first post. Having doubts is one thing but the way you behaved [B]isn't called being skeptical. It's called being dogmatic.[/B] After few more posts you went ahead and [B]asked me to get my hair cut. You even suggested a barber shop -'Super Cuts.' Amazing![/B] You did all this, in spite of me repeatedly pleading with you that [B]I am not trying to justify cutting my hair and am only trying to justify keeping them.[/B] I kept beseeching you just to not belittle my intentions and help me with my question. But to no avail. [B] People like you are the reason why youngsters are running away from Religion[/B] and faith. You don't really care to listen what kids are asking and you just assume that we are up to no good. You don't know me. What gives you the right to say what my intentions are? You assumed from your very first post that I was here for sinister reasons. You never really paid attention to what I said. You were always trying to read between the lines in my posts and belittle my intentions. I thought that since you were one of the senior contributors on this forum, and almost my father's age, you would have something to offer. But you couldn't even get through your perceived notion of what you thought my intent was! All other senior members like [B]Mai Harinder Kaur ji, Bhagat Singh Ji, Jyot Ji, Arshi ji, Maninder Singh Ji, Randip Ji, Seeker9[/B] and many others presented their views with much grace. Even if my views and their views didn't reconcile, in most cases we gracefully agreed to disagree. If I decide to continue to maintain my Sikh identity, when I have kids, and they ask me questions about my religion, I would make sure they stay away from dogmatic people like you who can't get over their pre conceived notions and push the kids further away. [B] I have nothing to discuss with you, since you have nothing to offer[/B] except your questions about my intent. Don't bother responding to me anymore. I would rather talk to other senior people on this forum. Thanks and best regards. Hope you have a nice weekend! [B]To All Others:-[/B] I would be traveling for most of the coming week. Obviously no one cares about the two days old skeptic member. But just wanted to let everyone know since I might not be able to respond in timely manner. Specially to so many wonderful posts in last 24 hrs, to which I surely want to respond. [/QUOTE]
