Yes I agree Brother, But as Kam Veerji has also stated, we are trying to extrapolate their logic of what is fiction to it's logical conclusions, the fellow above asked why would the Ten Nanaks want us to prakash/pray to fictions that begs the question 'do they believe that these mythological/historical personages referenced in Guru Granth Sahib are also fictions?' If so, they have a big problem because they would then be completely scriptureless, so I'm assuming then that they accept: - that Ahalya was turned into a stone (Ang 874) -that the Apsaras exist (142) -that the fish and boar incarnations came (1269) -that Krishna subdued Kali (350) -that there are millions of Yakshas, Kinnars and Pishachas (276) it does not say anywhere in these verses that they are from stories, actually they are stated as facts, are these anti-Gurmat fictions also or do you accept them? It does not say anywhere use logic, reason and scientific principles to question these things nor does it say that they are fanciful beliefs that are written only to ignite the popular imagination, they are refered to in the past tense as though they actually happened which means that the authors accepted them.

Are the stories of Ajamal and Prelad and Narsingh which are so prominatly displayed in Guru Granth Sahib also fictions? Or are they just 'metaphors' (which are again, devices of fiction) because the way they are referenced in Gurbani and forcibly invoked they do not seem to indicate that those who invoked them were speaking in terms of merely mythological fallacy.
