We created a section on 'common atheist myths' using articles from a variety of sources.

Any feedback would appreciated,

Sorry for the hiatus, busy with worldly distractions

Thank you to everyone who replied back

My reason on starting this topic was to get peoples insight on what you believe about religion, as science's drive is to also to come to a understanding of the universe and to move our knowledge further for better or for worse.

So my question is, Have you come across something in your field or in general that contradicts your belief in religion or faith, if so how did you square it mentally.

yes and no

i dont know how to square something that is already in front of me. i always take myself out of the equation so to speak, so. things are what they are.

I'm amritdhari too :)

i believe science to be an extension of our senses. we would not lock ourselves in a room and hope for the best if need be; we would grab that talvaar and fight. or.. we would not close our eyes just because we dont agree with it.

but, ive recently found the teachings of guru nanak dev ji in science. so, the same conclusions can be arrived at, excising religion from the "equation". so.. just look at the reptilian, emotional, and thinking brain.

these explain the teachings of guru ji from the 5 choor to meditation. so far, obviously science has not come to full grounds on the idea of god. but this could be soon enough.

also i dont agree with the earlier post where it was said that "...therefore a creator must be the reason for existence."

in many ways, i am an atheist. but i follow my guru. my guru tells me to see for myself. and so, this is the path of sikhi. i want to see. so i try. :)

results.. are contested and still stand strong as of yet!

ive posted scientific meditation papers recently on here on a topic called "in need of an expert" or something.

good read.

thanks

Gurfateh all,

My take on this topic, is that Sikhi is open to science.

Guru Sahib told Sikhs to use common sense and to ignore superstition.

Interesting post from "Meethay Har Gun Gaavo...". What are your thoughts on medical dilemmas such as assisted suicide, abortion and end of life decisions?

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
