    Your beverage of choice

    I drink a lot of coffee, long black with 1 sugar when I'm at work, or latte/cappuccino/mocha when I'm out and about. At home I usually drink water or Milo. Milo. Milo. Does that count as a beverage? With oat milk most of the time.

    Neutral Comparison of Sikhi and Christianity!

    I would like to hear from Christians about how they would describe their concepts of Salvation through God's grace alone Belief in Hell Forgiveness of sins? In particular, I'm interested to know what "Grace" is, what "Hell" is, and what "Sin" is, for Christians. Many thanks :)

    Neutral Comparison of Sikhi and Christianity!

    I know you didn't talk about Jesus being God. I was merely pointing out one of the aspects where Christianity and Sikhi differ quite significantly. The Shabad is the Guru. Human Guru Sahib Jios were but mouths for the Shabad - Mahala. I don't say that with any disrespect, of course Guru...

    Neutral Comparison of Sikhi and Christianity!

    Fascinating! I've heard a few people highlight the similarities between Judaism and Sikhi, but never Christianity and Sikhi. To me, they are fundamentally different. Sikhi has a little bit more in common with Catholicism than Protestantism, but still, Jesus being God on Earth is contrary to...

    Lust Isn't A Sin It's A Punishment?

    I am the queen of late replies, so it's ok, jio. I was of the understanding Sikhi is panentheistic, rather than monotheistic. Gurbani describes the Ik Onkar as something less personalised than a monotheistic God-character (that is, a God entity with a personality who speaks in the first...

    Are You A Convert To Your Religion?

    I consider myself a convert to Sikhi, although one doesn't really "convert" to Sikhi as grow into it. I've disavowed it more times than I care to mention (including publicly on RF one time...), and considered myself atheist or actively seeking for some of the time, but never converted to...

    Lust Isn't A Sin It's A Punishment?

    I didn't know there was sin in Sikhi. Whilst some translate "paap" or "paapi" as sin/sinner, the strict definition of sin is "an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law." Sikhi doesn't really have such divine laws to be transgressed, at least, not that I've seen.

    Religion vs. Faith

    faith feɪθ/ noun complete trust or confidence in someone or something. strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. I was going with definition #1. Without faith, doesn't religion just become mechanical? You're right in that #2 = belief.

    Religion vs. Faith

    Religion is external, faith is internal. Faith is to religion as breath is to the body.

    How Do Europeans Feel About Islam?

    So there was a post on Facebook today about the sale of an Australian dairy to a Chinese investor. A snippet of the post: "Another sale of a national asset to an overseas investor despite a viable local bid! The only two things I see this 'government' doing are selling of our national assets...

    What does catch your attention first in the facial features?

    Yeah, I think so.

    What does catch your attention first in the facial features?

    I go by my sixth sense for that. It works even over telephones. You just get a sense, ya know?

    Very confused about my religious status or what I believe in.

    Wicca. :)

    What does catch your attention first in the facial features?

    Probably overall shape of the face is what jumps out at me the most.
