Ok I am a former Sikh girl and now a Christian
1. The Guru Granth Sahib ji was penned by the Guru's and not by disciples, many years later.
What does "penned" have to do with anything? Jesus Christ didn't come on the earth to write books, the disciples wrote them because Christ told me raise awareness and they did it willingly and out of love for him.
2. Sikhism is a non-missionary faith that does not believe in converting other and disrespecting other people beliefs.

Christian Missionaries are put in place to raise awareness and bring the truth to people and bring people to salvation. There is no such principle in the Sikh faith that offers salvation and freedom to those living and suffering in sin in their lives. I agree that some Christian Missionaries approach people in way that would turn them off and away from christianity but that doesn't mean shut out the truth and don't do your own research.
3. Sikhism concepts of Langaar (Communal Kitchen), Wandh Chakna, and the Chardi Kalan Spirit.
Ok I used to go to the gurudawara all the time with my parents and most of the times the "langar" was the main attraction that people even came in the first place. Most people don't come their to listen to the sangeet and the shabd, they come to eat lunch and sit around gossip with other indians. I used to get sick to my stomach watching them do this. Communal Kitchen, more like "gossip Kitchen". All they would sit there and do is brag about how much they have, what someone else doesn't have. No one ever talked about gurbani, what they had just heard inside. It was sickening. They all would just come for the free lunch. And the Gurudawar's these days are becoming like nice and breezy buisnesses for people because there is no taxation on the money supposedly going to GOD.
4. "Higher than Truth is Truthful Living". No point just talking about the truth unless one is prepared to live it.
oh yeah so tell me this, according to the gurbani, love the the center of everything, love all. That's the teaching right, then why do sikhs to this day still get a sour face at the mention of interracial marriages, just like my parents did when I decided to marry a man of a white decent who happens to be a christian. No love being showed there, no gurbani being followed their. No where in the guru granth does it say what the color of the skin of a person should be that a sikh should marry or what their last name should be or faith. Guru nanak's intial start of his journey never had the goal of creating a new faith, but then again people just as they always have and will make up their own ideologies and run with and make a seperate religion. I don't get that, what's "truthful in that".
5. Defending the poor and weak, no matter what their religion, colour, creed.
oh please i am an indian, a punjabi and of the Jatt caste and I can say in all 100 percent honesty, that indian people are one of the most rascist people I have ever seen, I should know I am one of them, born into the family of one. why was there even a caste system create??? if not to promote inequality???
I am not saying they don't help at all and are not giving but man when it comes down to protecting family honor and their so called societal laws and this, screw all other races we want nothing to do with them. They will even condemn their own for stepping out of the bounds, just like many did with me. I wasn't doing anything against the guru granth, I was just following my heart and wanted to marry the person I love but oooooooooh nooooooo he's white, he's not indian, he's not sikh, he's not jatt......and now i am as good as dead.
6. Standing up for Justice, Freedom, and Equality.

hahahaaaaa ........don't even get me started pal!!
7. Sikh women can and have for last 300 to 400 years taken Sikh congregations wheras Christians still argue about female priests.
which christians do you know I'd like to know, my pastor is female!!
and buddy there is a lot of inequality between sikh men and women, I know, I've lived it.
8. The concept of Gurmatta or mutual consent, which is a democratic principle. Christianity has no such principle.
hmmmmm clarify this one for me?
9. God does not take human form, but rather God is in each and every one of us. It is up to each and every one of us to realise God.
ooooooookkkkkkkk, well i can say this if god is in every sikh, I am disappointed in a lot of them by the way they behave towards each other.
10. Sikhism respects, Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, Ram etc on an equal footing.
11. Believe in the life of a householder and not one of a recluse or a Nun or Priest.
