Why are so many Christians becoming Sikh? It’s more than the Sikh converts to Christianity in Punjab.

 

One of the main things Christians dont like about their faith. Is this notion that non Christians are going to hell. 

Sikhism does not have silly concepts such as this. We believe all faiths are right. Hence due to our belief that everyone is equal and right. This is what draws people to the faith.

What has being white got to do with anything? A sikh is a sikh! All are one

If christians believed this about Sikhism:

Then why would they leave Christianity? when according to you they believe all faiths are right or come to this conclusion afterwards.  This would mean Christianity is right and the christians changing to a different religion would be wrong.  Too bad for Bhai lehna ji who became the second Guru of the Sikhs after leaving devi worship.  You should have been there to tell him, STOP this is equal religious police, stop singing Gurbani.  Go back to doing devi worship.

In other words, learn what Gurbani says and stop reading half baked essays on Sikhi by self proclaimed scholars and professors.

The point is that other faiths don't have the same capacity..

New forum member and former Christian here. People are leaving Christianity because there are fewer people practicing true Christianity, the radical love doctrine preached by Jesus Christ. First rule:Love God with your whole heart. Second rule: Love your neighbor (all your fellow human beings) as you love yourself. If you only practice these two things, Christianity is beautiful. But the original message got lost over time and became overshadowed by demands for conformity. The rituals people once did as small reminders of their faith became the focus. Professed "believers" who don't actually obey the teachings of their teacher are now choosing to "honor" their radical love doctrine by finding reasons to only love and respect those who agree with them 100%. Nowadays people would rather not be associated with a religion that has a reputation for hypocrisy, discrimination, and so many countless other terrible things. Sikhi is a good fit for those who have that true love for the Creator and the desire to serve their fellow man (or woman). The fact that seva is such an important part of Sikhi is so beautiful to me. I am so grateful to be called to learn at the Guru's feet.

Don't know if she's a former Christian but i saw a black singhni at my local gurdwara yesterday! i told my friend and he said that shes been coming here for about 3 months now, he said when she first started coming she used to have her hair out but tie a ramal but recently she started wearing dastar. He said shes mostly in the langar hall helping the ladies do sewa, i never go langar hall so id never seen her befor, but he told me that she comes nearly everyday.

Think theres some wires crossed here. I said something along the lines that we belive all religions lead to god if practiced properly. Are you saying they dont and Sikhism is the only true path?
