Christian Nationalism vs Sikhism?

Sikhism advocates equality, social justice, service to humanity, and tolerance for other religions. The essential message of Sikhism is spiritual devotion and reverence of God at all times while practicing the ideals of honesty, compassion, humility and generosity in everyday life.

The world’s faithful account for 83% of the global population; the great majority of these fall under twelve classical religions–Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism.<https://www.google.com/search?q=World+religions&sca_

Sikhism is a South Asian religion, and is a philosophy, that originated in the Punjab region of South Asia, around the end of the 15th century CE. It is one of the most recently founded major religious groups and stands at fifth-largest worldwide, with about 25–30 million adherents. Wikipedia

Sikhism – Founded by the Guru Nanak (born 1469), Sikhism believes in a non-anthropomorphic, supreme, eternal, creator God; centering one’s devotion to God is seen as a means of escaping the cycle of rebirth. Sikhs follow the teachings of Nanak and nine subsequent gurus. Their scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib – also known as the Adi Granth – is considered the living Guru, or final authority of Sikh faith and theology. Sikhism emphasizes equality of humankind and disavows caste, class, or gender discrimination. From <https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/religions/>

“Beginning on some winter night the snow will fall steadily for a thousand years and hush in its falling the spore cities whose seed has flown. The delicate traceries of the frost will slowly dim the glass in observatories  and all will be as it has been before the virus wakened. The long trail of Halley’s comet. once more returning will pass like a ghostly matchflame over the unwatched grave of the cities. This has always been their end, whether in the snow or in the sand.”   —  Loren Eisley

WHERE ART THOU?

Squabbling in

the planet’s sandbox,

howling from a fistful of the stuff

into streaming eyes, bloodline

against itself.

 

Domesticated life forms,

not cloned, rather

tainted with the freedom

to differ in

their cousin rivalry.

 

Why are the Earth’s many

Gods only uncles?

Let us hear from Grandfather

who in His infinite wisdom

must surely re-unite us all.

Is Trump a Christian?

Published December 29, 2017 by Nan Mykel

Billy Graham’s granddaughter Jerushah Armfield doesn’t think so,

Trump “has not shown” himself to be a Christian, Armfield said, and has exhibited qualities that are the opposite of Christlike.

“My Jesus that I follow was really somebody who fought for the outliers,” she concluded, “and I think that Trump has actually done the opposite in kind of ostracizing them.”
