I remember going to the theatre To see a production of Julius Caesar And the people in front of me were American college students For whom this was probably the first Shakespeare they had seen. The conversation between them in the interval was fascinating. One girl turned to her friend and said "I don't know why this is called Julius Caesar As he dies half-way through" Several things struck me Firstly she had no context or backstory to rely on Secondly she was right - Julius Caesar would be better titled Brutus Whose journey we follow in the play Thirdly that she was using the narrative structures She was used to So the person named in the title is the hero And the hero always survives and wins in the end I would call that Hollywoodisation To me too many folks think Hollywood is real And want life to be like a Hollywood film

I agree, and that is tragic, so much heartache in this world has been brought on by people judging life based on the movies, and hence having little real understanding of the people and world in front of them.

Sat Sri Akal Not sure how this will be received but I've been investigating Sikhi for a few years even though I was raised Christian. During that time I've been going to gurdwara near me but I've been having a bit of difficulty with the language/cultural barriers. I recently reread the main Jesusy parts of the bible and looking into the Orthodox Christian tradition, and I've noticed some parallels. This is not to say I think people should become Christian, but, where there is an overlap, maybe that's where Truth lies. They have a practice of hesychasm which is essentially meditation and asceticism, taming the passions and going inward to find God in your heart or nous. They even seem to have a naam jap called Jesus prayer, where they recite Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, or even simply Jesus in some cases. The ultimate goal being theosis, union with God, becoming like Christ, loosing ego and being one with The Father. Again, I'm not suggesting anyone become Christian, but this meditating and becoming receptive to kirpa seems to be where it's at... In the Bible Jesus says: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matt 7:7 Keep up the faith, and may God have mercy(bless) on us all Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh 🙏

[@deepsingh-qv4hq]

What u want to say exactly?

[@tera2229]

Let’s just start and end this myth by how Jesus was born. His mother, Mary, gave birth as a virgin. Jesus’ father was “god” who impregnated her. No sex. No baby. No Jesus. No Christianity.

[@mos619]

@@deepsingh-qv4hq my main point is that God is true...even in our different faiths, we have one essence and similar methods to come in line with that essence, the Will or Hukham. I think a big problem religions have is we don't understand each other. It's like we're saying water, you say pani, that guy says agua, but we don't realize it's the same thing. We end up fighting each other very stupidly over what to call this life giving nectar that quenches our thirst and sustains us. This in turn causes people to turn away from God saying they can't all be right, too many religions, all are wrong.

[@mos619]

@@tera2229 sabhnaa galaa samrath su-aamee so ki-o manhu visaaray. I'm not arguing one or the other, I think it's more likely both and. Sikhi has Guru, Christians have Logos. Different way to say same thing, I think. Of course, I could be wrong

[@mos619]

@Amandeep Singh I agree...I just think maybe sometimes people confuse the path with The Lord. Not that I think that of Bhai Saptal, Christians are definitely more prone to this, just sharing my thoughts... I think part of what drives secularism is the disunity between faiths. Everyone thinks their way is The Way, they make it a competition, and people think we must all be crazy. I think perhaps the best way for us to keep and maintain our path is to actually walk it, not just look at it and think, 'oh gee what a nice path we have.' Then, as we walk, the gian/jot shines through and makes the path visible for others to follow, thus keeping it from becoming overgrown. For myself, I'm not sure if Sikhi is the path for me...I've often thought about the line in Japji Sahib at the end of pauri 1: "kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal" If I was meant to be Sikh, wouldn't I be born into a Sikh family(instead of a _sick_ one)? That maybe since I was raised Christian, I should try and be a proper Christian instead of going off the path God put me on? I know this is probably not the proper place to ask such questions, but it might apply to bigger question of atheism vs theism in a sort of round about way. How do we who believe relate to one another, intra faith and inter faith?

[@fiveriverflow7181]

Another amazing video. It's these types of videos that allow me to internalize this mindset and just try my best to continue to stay on this path one day at a time.

Secularism is not really synonymous with atheism, because it just means that you're independent of religion. However, a secular person can still be a "theist".

This preacher misrepresents secularism. He equates that to freethinking or atheism, but that is not correct. Secularism is a political philosophy that is not anti-religious or pro-atheistic. Secularism is a philosophy in which all religions and beliefs are equal under the protection of the national rule of law. And are equally protected and guaranteed by the national government.

[@Dead346]

Neo-Secularism is what he's talking about. there are many organizations that are about this.

[@404Gerard]

@@Dead346 Indeed. That is about subdivision and classification. But that cannot be misused or be an excuse for misrepresenting the idea of secularism. That is sophism that is hidden behind terms.
