I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. - Stephen F. Roberts
I came across this quote and it just made so much sense to me. It just strengthened my belief that Sikhism is a logical religion and therefore, it allows its followers to believe in any sort of God they want. It does not matter whether this God is more than one God or no God at all.I relate this directly to the Sargun-Nirgun concept, all attributes-no attributes.
I think that everything else in Sikhism is what the Gurus related to the most. You know that God is our mother, father, etc. and various other analogies and concepts. This would be an intelligent thing to teach to common folk and would provide them with a loving guardian, whereas, they would believe the opposite since most religions have God(s) that punish.
I could be completely wrong, of course. I justthought that I should share this, and I encourage everyone to present what they think.
