i have just seen a documentry on c hannel 4 - Bacha Bazi - which is the term for dancing boys.
and i am in slight shock - as i understand it - young bouy are dressed up as women and made to dance in front of other men, at the end of the night the men take the young boy/boys back home - yes you guessed it - this is just plain sodomy.
hmmm
my Lord, is this the world that we live in?
it is not for me to preach righteousness and moral ethics to others -as i myself am a sinner looking for mercy and redemption from God - but really i cannot ignore this.
you take aaway a childs innocence at a young age, introdue them to sex with other men, how do you expect them to live normal lives?
in a country that is strangely muslim - these things go on and people dont seem to think that there is nothing rong with it - the very Quran they read from does not advocate it - the religion they practice does not advocate it,
my firs reaction was to send a nuclear bomb to the country and bulldoze them all. May god help us really because we need it.
this life is ?????? - May God help us all.

TOOOOO similar
this world is only toooooooooo similar - if we take the time to learn, understand, maybe just maybe - but instead we assimilate biggotry and extremism and we shun tolerance and commonality - all for what? because each side believes their vew is right?
my view from so far is that there is a fundamental truth and fundamental laws/statements - but also there are opinions that may not be correct and logic that may not be truly founded - one thing is true for me though above anything/everything else - that God is one - The worship of God is about God - not about any prophet, messenger, rabbi or priest - Worshipping God is about a connection that each person has to make themselves - no one can do this for you - no priest, rabbi or imam can guide you or pray for you or establish a link to God for you - each soul has to do that for themselves..
Now how are these statements different to that which i believe in? tell me.....
1. I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, is the Creator and Guide of everything that has been created; He alone has made, does make, and will make all things.
2. I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, is One, and that there is no unity in any manner like His, and that He alone is our God, who was, and is, and will be.
3. I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, has no body, and that He is free from all the properties of matter, and that there can be no (physical) comparison to Him whatsoever.
4. I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, is the first and the last.
5. I believe with perfect faith that to the Creator, Blessed be His Name, and to Him alone, it is right to pray, and that it is not right to pray to any being besides Him.
6. I believe with perfect faith that all the words of the prophets are true.
7. I believe with perfect faith that the prophecy of Moses our teacher, peace be upon him, was true, and that he was the chief of the prophets, both those who preceded him and those who followed him.(i dont know anything of chieftancy title but i believe in all the prophets and messengers from God and i seek not to differentiate amongst any of them, they were all messengers according to how God wanted them to be (this is how i feel that some people hang onto muhammed titling him the seal of prophets and how some people hang onto jesus as well)
8. I believe with perfect faith that the entire Torah that is now in our possession is the same that was given to Moses our teacher, peace be upon him. ( if i am honest i cant be sure of that becayuse i feel that human beings - such as they are always seek to add to things they they should not)
9. I believe with perfect faith that this Torah will not be exchanged, and that there will never be any other Torah from the Creator, Blessed be His Name.( this is another slight add on from me - after the torah was the Quran - according to my belief to confirm and consolidate all the scriptured given to us by God - Blessed be his name)
10. I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, knows all the deeds of human beings and all their thoughts, as it is written, "Who fashioned the hearts of them all, Who comprehends all their actions" (Psalms 33:15).
11. I believe with perfect faith that the Creator, Blessed be His Name, rewards those who keep His commandments and punishes those that transgress them.
12. I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah; and even though he may tarry, nonetheless, I wait every day for his coming. ( Everything is in accordance with the will of God - Blessed be His name - in the right time according to how God wills it to be)
13. I believe with perfect faith that there will be a revival of the dead at the time when it shall please the Creator, Blessed be His name, and His mention shall be exalted for ever and ever.

Now with all of this covered as basic, why then cant we get along? really the human being is warped, filled with hate and mistrust.... May God - Blessed be His name, help and guide us all to his path,

Concept of God
There is beauty in everything, in every thought every difference, every logic, there is wisdom to be learnt.
Wether we accept it or not is irrelevant - what is, is what is - God will always be God - that will never change - however what changes is how we and those of past and future observe Him and accord Him -
The Sikh term for God is Vahigurū and Nānak describes him as niraṅkār (from the Sanskrit nirākārā, meaning formless), akāl (meaning eternal) and alakh (from the Sanskrit alakśya, meaning invisible or unobserved). At the very beginning of the first composition of Sikh scripture is the figure "1" - signifying the unity of God. Nānak's interpretation of God is that of a single, personal and transcendental creator with whom the devotee must develop a most intimate faith and relationship to achieve salvation. Sikhism advocates the belief in one god who is omnipresent and has infinite qualities. This aspect has been repeated on numerous occasions in the Gurū Granth Sāhib and the term ik ōaṅkār signifies this. In the Sikh teachings, there is no gender for God. When translating, the proper meaning cannot be correctly conveyed without using a gender definition, but this distorts the meaning by giving the impression that God is masculine, which is not the message in the original script.
Nānak further emphasizes that a full understanding of God is beyond human beings. However, Nānak also describes God as being not wholly unknowable. God is considered sarav vi'āpak (omnipresent) in all creation and visible everywhere to the spiritually awakened. Nānak stresses that God must be seen from "the inward eye", or the "heart" of a human being - that meditation must take place inwardly to achieve enlightenment progressively. Nānak emphasizes this revelation in creation as crucial, as its rigorous application permits the existence of communication between God and human beings.
Sikhs believe in a single god that has existed from the beginning of time and will survive forever. He/she is genderless, fearless, formless, immutable, ineffable, self-sufficient, not subject to the cycle of birth and death, and omnipotent.

How is this different to how i regard God - who i call the Creator, Lord of the universe - there is no difference; however the difference lies in identification(in the form or reverence) with messengers whom God has sent forth with a message, identification with objects (that people designate God to so they can have Him close by not realising that God is all around) -
this world is not too disimilar you know and if we look deep enough, past the surface we will God willing start to glimpse the most basic of all truth, beyond the fabrications and amplicication that the human mind subjects all things to.
i leave you with this thought -
Would you ever elevate your servants/subordinates to the level where they rival you, and to the point that you allow people to pay them as much allegiance as is being paid to you?
