Satsriakal Muslimah Ji,
“But what you do not realise is that the prophecies came true”
prophecies are rejected in Sikhism it makes people sit around for a day of jusgement which never comes but if you reel that prophecies are a hallmark of a true faith then so be it, I don’t I need the salvation whilst I am alive.
“But u said yourself one cannot attain the spirutuality guru nank reache”
I never said that we could not achieve the same level of spirituality I said that we can never be the guru cos only god ordained that.
“That is what made people realise, that he truely was the messenger of allah.”
We don’t need miracles because the supernatural is a part of gods creation when you are when with god then you will have all of these miraculous powers it will then dawn on you that miracles are in fact a part of gods creation but if you feel that the miracles are what you need to believe then personally I find that a very shallow form of faith acceptance.
“Whome do you thikn is stronger? On the battle field Whome do you think will be stronger?”
both are stronger and we have proof in our religion how women were valiant soldiers and even generals which headed many battalions we do not believe in this idea of physical strength being a measure of someone’s worth. Let me tell you something about social engineering by religion in India, The response to a lot of the issues you have raised is not about women. When a society changes in this case recognition of female equality, then the old society needs to progress smoothly and adapt to recognise (not accommodate) the change. What I have seen is that men are threatened not by women being equal but because a woman is no longer dependant on a man. This is not a fall in moral standards men have not been able to adapt to the change, this does not mean that men are chauvinistic or anything like that, the change that was required was one of least domination that women can have and cope with more than what they were entitled to and participate in society to their fullest capability.
It is the attitude of men and this attitude is a loving one that seeks to care for women primarily but in extreme cases this care became domination and suppression of women because women started to show earlier on in “unequal societies” that they are achievers independent in their own right. The equality was not born in the west or the east or Sikhism for that matter, equality exists from time zero it’s just the recognition of woman’s ability that became born in west, Sikhism etc. During feudal periods in history womens ability was directed to what they could do best ie, rear children, during battles culture was kicked through the window and women engaged in arm combat - you see its about changing society and adapting but not following a tradition because of a period of time which reflected a certain status of women.
The problem with isalm and Sikhism is a moral issue, In India there used to be a religion which existed prior to Sikhism, in this religion there was a core concept of societal moral law, this law seeked to make man responsible for the immoral acts they committed and justice was therefore seen as assuring salvation for the immoral individual so they would not have to face the wrath of god, society also had to purge its lands of immorality in order to not incur the wrath of god. In Sikhism this concept is incompatible, when the purpose of man is to achieve salvation when alive a man or a women has to live a life in balance so they can focus upon that ideal, morality is therefore an individual effort it is not a societal responsibility, there is no wrath from god there is just rebirth for all and that includes the one with the most highest moral values as well as the greatest sinner on earth. However after sometime the concept of man being a measure of his/her own morality slowly faded and the idea of moral law became an unseen cultural endeavour and there was a notion of guilt and shame that was born through such a culture. Today it is not as bad instead another religion which existed the time of Sikhism had a hierarchical structure in society and the whole of society was assimilated into its own pigeonholes and given definition by those higher up in the rungs this lead to the birth of division in Sikh society and formation of differing groups rather than sovereign individual members in the religion.
“What is your point i dont understand?”
I don’t believe women and men have to adopt assigned roles by religion or culture if a women wants to fight a war she may have passion to kill many who am I to say no to her she may be a finer soldier than 100 men together.
Well well well soldier 2000 ji,
Let shame you publicly:
“Nothing but cryptic irrational statements emanates from your computer; it’s got so bad that you have finally managed to confuse yourself?”
watch this space boy!!!!
“however if I started learning about another faith I would have to use my logic to first verify scriptural truth”
mwah mwah oops moss actually asked me if I was born in another religion such as islam for instance I would be operation in the paradigm of reason because supposedly you all believe god is logical etc etc so I am being honest here you have just taken advantage of my honesty, let me now go further I was actually born in Sikhism and I realised that god is not consistent with logic but his creation is ( however I still don’t believe in a logical universe I have actually proven that to you with the theory of indeterminacy in an earlier post), but Im not bitter!!! This btw also revokes your challenge to post 68, and its an incomprehensible god whish is impossible for you as a human being to be unless you achieve salvation. As I read more it also revokes your challenge to 122, I really hope you get this time I know it must be hard for you to think outside the box but do so otherwise I will have to shame you again.
“but also highlights the sheer hypocrisy of Mr Dhillion-“
yeah you go with that your on to a good thing their
“The only reason one would choose to convert to Sikhism is if one believed that it was the truth- how the hell can one establish the truth in Sikhism, if Sikhism prevented one from applying reason?”
because truth is god and god is within you know that you have the truth when you read bani because it enlightens you the nature of gos is unreasonale and that is the truth, how do I know that Sikhism is the most righteous path? When I practice Sikhism my answers end and I have no doubt I did all of this without ever refuting gurbani this is the power of gurshabad you wouldn’t know because your religion requires you to appease your mind by making the truth logical and miracles and prophecies but that is not a religion just mental appeasement or manmat.
Ahh so your from the islam-sikhism site – YOUR BIG FLAW GOD IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE YES WELL DONE, SIKHISM IS NOT GOD YOU DRAW THE CONCLUSION THAT AN INCOMPREHENSIBLE GOD AMOUNTS TO AN ILLOGICAL RELIGION THIS IS IN ITSELF ILLOGICAL WRITE AS MANY ESSAYS AS YOU WANT ABOUT THE CONTRADICTION OF DIVINE ESSENCE BUT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF NO ONE ON THIS EARTH HAS EVERY BEEN ABLE TO PROOVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD LET ALONE GODS NATURE YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!:grumbling
“Amardeep your comments in post 212, specially about logic is not consistent with your doctrines- Sirgun/Nargun defies logic- and your colleague ISDHILLION confirms that-“
how? God transcends rationality so how do you conclude that Sikhism is an illogical religion?, separate the nature of god from his creation and you will be a lot wiser!!! I bet you thought you found a refutation there didn’t you, the nature of god is not logical logic is a system of inguiry how can you apply it to the nature of god? I can understand why your so bitter now care to put my rebuttals on your site instead of debating with me offline or are you scared.:rant:
Like I said before back to the madraasaaa with you matey!!!
Gurfateh and I hope you come back and apologise for all your manmat,
ISDhillon;D
