Can someone who knows more about Sikhi than me educate me on a few things?

Guys, please stop derailing this thread.

I am seriously curious about how people here would answer the questions in the original post.

Do you practice what you preach and know how to use a bandook, seeing as it's legal where you are?

I don't want to embarrass amritdharis by joining their group. They deserve better than me.

I am already a huge embarrassment to the Sikh community (> 90% of the posters on sikhsangat have said so at one point or another). I don't want to make it worse by becoming an embarrassment to the amritdhari Sikh community.

You are suffering from unused man energy. I think a bit of physical training and some guns and a nice amrithdari girl would answer all your questions.

Do you believe all religious paths are just different routes leading to the same ultimate destination?

Which criteria do you personally use (however crudely) to judge one path's comparative validity and integrity over another?

[Redoptics]

Here is a great idea , spend some time and read Guru Granth Sahib Ji,  start with English translation or if you know Gurmukhi, read it yourself.  The answers you are looking for are there.

Why won't anyone attempt to answer the questions I posed?

You're being facetious. "Embarrass amritdharis." What are you talking about? Women talk like that.

If marriage is off the cards and you hate moneh, then why not throw yourself into Sikhi wholeheartedly?

Do you find the commitment overwhelming? Is there something in the doctrine that doesn't sit right with your secular beliefs?

I'm not being facetious. I am content with my fate to not marry and have children partially (largely?) because it will ensure that I don't "contribute to" (pollute) the Sikh gene pool and further weaken the quam.

I respect your intellect. I don't have to agree with you on everything to acknowledge that you're a smart guy. But why do you identify Sikh males as the "problem" when it's Sikh females who've caused you grief? Doesn't that seem a little off to you?
