- throwawaycities 5y ago“Irrational beliefs”? You think it’s the 21st century, and what is that based on exactly?
- imwillofficial 5y agoYou just exploded my brain.
- wizardofmysore 5y agoYou are so right. The earth is flat. Shaving is bad. God cares about who you have sex with. I like the work that Sikh community does. I've come across many good Sikh people. But their beliefs regarding hair is harmful in this case.
- throwawaycities 5y agoYou’ve come across many good Shik’s? I wonder if you told them to their face your viewpoints on their irrational beliefs, somehow I doubt it and that’s why you edited your comment from “irrational beliefs” to “out of context”.
- wizardofmysore 5y agoI felt irrational was too strong a word, there might have been good reasons for the turban in a different time, I don't see a good one for while riding a bike.
- ortuna 5y agoOne of the reasons to not cut your hair and wear a turban is that a Sikh can't hide out in a crowd. You always know who is Sikh. This coupled with the mandate that a Sikh must always help those in need means that you always know where to look and ask for help. From my perspective (US), this is a much needed belief today since it was born out of the similar circumstances in 1699.
