Xylitol Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 http://www.chick.com/reading/comics/0117/0117_allinone.asp Not sure if this is true or not, seeing as how it's coming from a protestant point of view. It's still very interesting. A great way to do prachaar of Sikhi (hopefully without the nindya of course)! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillAUS Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow, I like the medium, but the message was very disturbing to say the least! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatanga1 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 what a hassle to read. the book of revelations is in the old testament i think. and the notion of your enemy's enemy is your friend is nothing new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Artwork was good, but message pretty unconvincing. Was Allah the rebranding of the Moongod by Mohammad? If so, he seems to have radically altered its previous incarnation with Abrahamic concepts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xylitol Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 It's not uncommon for religions to take old symbols (or other things) and use them for new Gods to help popularize the dharm. Many protestants actually do see the vatican as the beast of prophecy. Others however, see America or Europe as being the beast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 It's not uncommon for religions to take old symbols (or other things) and use them for new Gods to help popularize the dharm. I think Easter is a blatant example. Christians 'appropriated' the fun festival of Eostre, the pagan deity of fertility. The old symbols of that belief still survive in the form of rabbits, eggs which have nothing to do with Xtianity. Religions sometimes seem to wean people off old practices by providing alternative celebrations on the same day as popular festivals. Our own Holla Mohalla may be an example of an alternative to Holi in this respect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylitol Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 yes, it seems to be. if you're a new sikh, formerly hindu, you can either celebrate the sikh way or the hindu way if the celebrations are on the same day.. this helps cement new adherents to the new faith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
