“Irrational beliefs”? You think it’s the 21st century, and what is that based on exactly?

You 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.

One 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.

Harley's and helmets weren't there then. Now if they want to ride they should wear a helmet, why make special exceptions for religious beliefs?

You’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”.

I 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.

You just exploded my brain.
