		<description>i think a lot of you are truly missing out on the wonderful benefits of giving the lord your heart, life,and prayers. While by all means my life is not perfect, i feel complete, because there is nothing in this world that can make you feel as whole as the Lord can. I cherish it everyday, and i can only pray that one day you will be able to feel the way i do. God Bless You.</description>

		<description>Thank you for finally stating the facts!!! I am an atheist and have been all my life and there is no doubt in my mind that there is a &quot;god&quot;. I do not very often express my opinions with people because I don&#039;t want to be looked at differently from nutcase christians! I don&#039;t express my opinions but I am always preached to from different people that I work with and I am extremely tired of this. Why is it that religious people can go up to anyone and start preaching about the bible and jesus walking and all other nonscense b.s. It is like they assume that everyone has no knowledge like they do. When someone asked me if I have ever read the bible I said no, and I never intend to and their reply was &quot;how sad&quot; Now why is that sad? I have better things to do with my time than read the bible and worry about if I am &quot;sinning&quot; or not. I have more important things to worry about than to waste my life worrying about pointless things like that.</description>

		<description>I feel sorry for you.  Sounds like you have a problem with religion so you are making up &quot;facts&quot;, otherwise known a lies to sell to people.  Your Pie chart adds up to more than 100%, you might want to tweak your &quot;facts&quot; to make that work.  Scientist are no the only intelligent people and if you did any research you would know that the more they try to disprove a GOD, the more they prove one may exist.  This is why, in all of their infinite wisdom, their physics and mathematic breakdown at the point of the Big Bang.  They cant explaing this unless there is a god and the is the point in which mathematics and physics were given to us.  Also, if you did any real research you would find that most prisoners were without religion prior to incarceration.  I SUGGEST ANYONE WANT REAL FACTS SHOULD GO TO REAL WEBSITE. Nice try though and I will pray for you.  I would rather believe in a GOD and be wrong than to Not believe in One and be wrong.  the consequences are eternal.  God Bless and I will Pray for you.  Sounds like you desperately need it.</description>

		<description>God is like Santa Claus, or the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny.  Yeah, they&#039;re all somehow related to Jesus and all that shiz but didn&#039;t you all stop believing in them at some point.  What&#039;s the difference in God.  How can you really belive that there is some place we go and chill in the clouds or the &quot;after life&quot;.  I just don&#039;t understand how you can be ignorant like a little kid and believe that there is actually some guy or spirit watching you and running your entire life.  We&#039;re not video games, there isn&#039;t someone holding a remote on the other end. I just don&#039;t see it.</description>

		<description>You have an  interesting website. I found it while doing some research about Christian ethics in America.  Anyway some of it was helpful like what the candidates believe. I didn&#039;t like your sarcastic statements about some people of faith, like Huckabee or omney. I believe either of these guys would make an acceptable leader-maybe president. I wouldn&#039;t describe them as wacko or scary.

Anyway have fun with what you do and let God make a difference in you and others-Pete</description>

		<description>Seems you guys have quite a wrong notion about religions..
Request you not to deal with such a sensitive subject in such an unprofessional manner.

Here is an insight of what actually Sikhism is..

Sikhism , founded on the teachings of Nanak and nine successive gurus in fifteenth century Northern India, is the fifth-largest organised religion in the world.[1] This system of religious philosophy and expression has been traditionally known as the Gurmat (literally the counsel of the gurus) or the Sikh Dharma. Sikhism originated from the word Sikh, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit root Ã…â€ºiÃ¡Â¹Â£ya meaning &quot;disciple&quot; or &quot;learner&quot;, or Ã…â€ºikÃ¡Â¹Â£a meaning &quot;instruction.&quot;

The principal belief of Sikhism is faith in VÃ„ÂhigurÃ…Â«Ã¢â‚¬â€represented using the sacred symbol of Ã„â€œk Ã…ÂaÃ¡Â¹â€¦kÃ„Âr, the Universal God. Sikhism advocates the pursuit of salvation through disciplined, personal meditation on the name and message of God. A key distinctive feature of Sikhism is a non-anthropomorphic concept of God, to the extent that one can interpret God as the Universe itself. The followers of Sikhism are ordained to follow the teachings of the ten Sikh gurus, or enlightened leaders, as well as the holy scripture entitled the GurÃ…Â« Granth SÃ„Âhib, which includes selected works of many devotees from diverse socio-economic and religious backgrounds. The text was decreed by Gobind Singh, the tenth guru, as the final guru of the Khalsa Panth. Sikhism&#039;s traditions and teachings are distinctively associated with the history, society and culture of the Punjab. Adherents of Sikhism are known as Sikhs (students or disciples) and number over 23 million across the world. Most Sikhs live in the state of Punjab in India and, prior to the country&#039;s partition, millions of Sikhs lived in what is now known as the Punjab province of Pakistan.

Additional Info :
Sikhs have lived in America for over 100 years
People who wear turbans in the US are Sikhs 
26 million Sikhs worldwide 
Sikhs are living in America since 1897 
Early Sikhs built railroads, and worked in lumber mills and on farms 
83,000 Sikh soldiers died during 2 World wars 
One million Sikhs live in North America, including 15,000 in the Greater Sacramento area 
7 Sikh Temples in Capital area 
First US Sikh Temple in Stockton, 1912


Hope that satisfies....
