Re: Can Sikhs respect Jesus as a good teacher like some Jews do ?
Spji
Au Contraire, it is very much my concern, as a Sikh, I am not happy to respect any Tom, **** or Harry just because We are supposed to have a respect for learned men, I will respect any learned man, and try and learn something. I think that tolerance dressed up as respect is a wonderful notion, I also think you are hugely misguided if you feel that all religions are the same.
If Sikhism teaches us to respect all, does that include Christians with anti gay agendas? Hindus who exclude lower castes? Satanists who cut the heads of chickens?
I tolerate such people and would treat them with respect, but I do not believe in what they do, that is why they may be Hindu and I am a Sikh, sure I could even learn from them,
Only A Guru could see the beauty in the world and nothing more,
