hey guys

I've always felt the same way bodzilla does about how much some religions have pulled us back, even baffles me it has relevance in today's society.

But one odd lunch time recently I went out of curtesy to a sikh temple with one of my friends who happened to be partially religious.. felt more like a community effort to be good people (how the temple is funded etc) and feed everyone above everything else.. that and the bandana wearing screams pirates. I'd say it's probably the only religion that doesn't grind my gears, but that's because I never even knew the people I knew were sikh until I actually asked them!

(I'm interested in what you think of them bod, but please remember i'm seeing the charitable values as a great thing that they uphold, beyond that i'm completely in favour of science)

Also welcome back dwood, i remember you used to messaged me on xfire sometimes lol, speaking of which what do you think of the mormon's story in that one episode of south park?

well the sikh are pretty awesome chill dudes. D2T Agony was a sikh.

I've never seem them do anything controversial or take part in witnessing for their religion or anything of that sort. I honestly dont know anything about their religion, other then it's one of the largest in the world, they cant cut their hair or beards, they wear a turban and carry a ceremonial knife.

I've never seen them try to influence legislation or education and for such a large religion to fly so completely under the radar for most people, they must have some rather cool passive social and community values or we'd have honestly heard more. On that front they can do what ever they want.

In terms of their beliefs i honestly dont know enough to criticize, yet if they still hold to supernatural phenomenon i'd still obviously side with the facts.

Well one of the things that I appreciated, being an outsider.. one with absolutley no religious interest whatsoever obviously.. I didn't feel like I was out of place which is something every other religion has made me feel when i step in their respective buildings.. they realise you're not a necessarily a follower, but they're still welcoming and happy to see you, they don't care if you don't have the full on beard features or turban etc. I feel other religions could learn so much from sikhs, they've done it right.

I'm not much of a religious person and I don't really like to get into it either (debating wise). My mom is a big one and goes to church a lot, I go a little bit here and there to make her happy. I don't really care about the religious-ness of it but I find that some of the teachings are good - like be a better person, don't hate, etc. One thing I do like that my church does is help family's with food that are struggling. It's not like their trying to spread religion or anything either, the church simply fills bags with nutrious food, delivers them to a school, and the kids take the home with for the weekend. But quite honestly I don't see the need for religion in this day and age. With ever changing technology, science continues to prove religion wrong over and over. Like Rosco said though, the Sikh's seem to have it right.

To be fair, I don't think that the public of any nation has ever been accused of that. That's why they are the public.
