Sikhism: your view?
 
Well, due to the amount of my posts from my last topic...here goes, Sikhism!

Go! I think it's similar to Christianity but I don't care for it!

Do you not care for it because......it's not Christianity?

OddjobAbe 12-16-2009 07:51 AM

Of course you don't care for it. You're Christian. You also probably don't care for Buddhism or Islam either.

EDIT: OANST beat me.

I don't care for any of the above. I don't care for Christianity. I wouldn't go mental over Sikihism, either.

OANST 12-16-2009 07:52 AM

I think that we have enough religious threads. That's what I think.

:

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

This sums up the totality of my views towards Sikhism and Hinduism.

Same as WoF.

MeechMunchie 12-16-2009 08:35 AM

Same as used:). The concept of Buhddism appeals to me, but I'm too attatched to my stuff.

Wings of Fire 12-16-2009 08:37 AM

It's pretty much the best declaration of ignorance ever. It's also one of the seven self evident truths of the world.

MeechMunchie 12-16-2009 08:40 AM

WHOOSH

HEY!

MeechMunchie 12-16-2009 09:01 AM

S&W are our only meme now. Hey! That wasn't half bad!

MA 12-16-2009 09:05 AM

and couldn't this thread have been a part of the Catholicism thread?

Wings of Fire 12-16-2009 09:07 AM

I hope we're not going to get all six in seperate threads, cause then I'll have no reason not to rant about JudaDICKism.

abe is now! 12-16-2009 11:45 AM

You're a turncoat, Scrabtrapman!!! You post new threads just because you like seeing others posting in them!!! You absolutely don't care about the topics you start! And you hope that I say something about your stupid "sikhism"?!? Don't make me laugh!!!

Verily I'm not serious, I love you.

I am to ignorant on the topic to give an opinion.

What i will say is an old scholar once told me. He was at a sikh temple once and was told
"Come in, we are all God".

Sounds nice.

Havoc 12-16-2009 12:56 PM

Is it a religion and does it involve a book people are deemed to blindly follow? If yes, I hate it.

Wings of Fire 12-16-2009 01:00 PM

Actually, a quick glance at Sikhism has done much to interest me, this requires further research.

~Oprilthevykker~ 12-16-2009 01:02 PM

You wanna hear a story? "Make it ten stories and jump!".
Awe, why ya gotta be like that? Anyway, My view on it is simply "I laughed".

shaman 12-16-2009 01:04 PM

I literally just returned from google.

It's ... interesting.

Wings of Fire 12-16-2009 01:07 PM

At heart it's a self sacrificing religion built around metaphysical concepts, but the core beliefs and the religious prohibitions seem pretty liberal to me. Also:
:

No Priestly class: Sikhism does not have priests, that were abolished by Guru Gobind Singh (the 10th Guru of Sikhism).
I don't think I'll indoctrinate myself, but it's looking to be on my list of religions that are fundamentally alright.

MA 12-16-2009 01:14 PM

i really wanted to study Sikhism at secondary school, only religion that interested me. but no, we had to fucking learn Islam like every other fucker. honestly, i think we spent more time learning about that than bloody Christianity. nothing against Islam obviously, but it tends to get shoved in your face and piss you off at that age, and especially during that time. fucking obnoxious, and now you see, i have no time for it. i just cant be arsed. i feel indifferent towards it.

OANST 12-16-2009 01:14 PM

It's just another existential religion. Sure, they aren't as nasty as some others, but they are still pretty unremarkable.

Nate 12-16-2009 02:24 PM

The turbans are awesome. I wish my religion dictated them as official head covering.

Also, am I the only person who noticed that AiN used the word 'Verily'? I may well start worshipping him from now onwards.

Strike Witch 12-16-2009 02:28 PM

You are not. I can't stop picturing him as Thor now.

Anonyman! 12-16-2009 05:16 PM

I second the turban and beard thing. Other than that, I know next to nothing about them. They're hinjewslams right?

You just made him even more worshipful with that mental image.



Going back to headgear discussion, Ultra-Orthodox Jews have their own awesome hatwear. Take a look at the photo (the Jew is on the right).

They from the car-buffer sect?

Just kidding. Those hats are great.

STM 12-17-2009 08:06 AM

I'm sorry i didn't bluddy post in my post, I went to bed...to sleep...because I'm tired...and I have work.

On another note, I do care about my threads (going back a few comments) I am posting now, wth, I think Sikhism isn't much different from Christianity, Muslims believe in Jesus and God as do I, I don't know much about there home laws but I hear there not nice.

OANST 12-17-2009 09:14 AM

I don't think these people are Muslims.
