Sikhism: your view?

STM · #1 12-16-2009, 07:43 AM

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 · #3 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.

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 · #7 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 · #8 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 · #9 12-16-2009, 08:40 AM

WHOOSH

HEY!

why is everyone stealing my meme's?

MeechMunchie · #11 12-16-2009, 09:01 AM

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

MA · #12 12-16-2009, 09:05 AM

yeah, you're right...it was ALL bad!

DOOOHOHOHO

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

Wings of Fire · #13 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! · #15 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.

shaman · #16 12-16-2009, 12:27 PM

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 · #17 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 · #18 12-16-2009, 01:00 PM

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

~Oprilthevykker~ · #19 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 · #20 12-16-2009, 01:04 PM

I literally just returned from google.

It's ... interesting.

Wings of Fire · #21 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 · #22 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 · #23 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*** · #24 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 · #25 12-16-2009, 02:28 PM

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

Anonyman! · #26 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?

***Nate*** · #27 12-16-2009, 07:06 PM

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).

used:) · #28 12-16-2009, 07:13 PM

They from the car-buffer sect?

Just kidding. Those hats are great.

STM · #29 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 · #30 12-17-2009, 09:14 AM

I don't think these people are Muslims.
